On January 19, 2024 PS 124’s Debate Team participated in the inaugural District 15 Debate Tournament. Our team debated on the topic of year-round schools against 7 other District 15 elementary schools. Two of our team members scored within the top 25 (out of 100): Cassidy Judd and Marlee Prows. Huge congratulations to our Debate Team on their due diligence in crafting their speeches. They all worked out practicing their delivery, asking questions, and providing rebuttals. The next Debate Tournament will be on May 2, 2024 on the topic of Outer Space Exploration.
