Debate:

The SWW Debate Team participated in the DC Urban Debate League's tournament at Roosevelt Senior High School on 30 January 2010. There were about 7 schools in attendance, a mix of public, private, and charter schools. Walls debaters in attendance were: Kenneth James, Tyrec Grooms, Elena Bell, Camara Hudson, Alexis Stewart, Chibudike Ukwuani, Ruth Baldwin, Christie Hoyte-Hayes, Jaimie Loney, and Lydia Evans. Their team record for the tournament was 11 wins, 5 losses, which pushed Walls to 3rd Place for both categories of total wins and winning percentage. Speaker awards went to Christie Hoyte-Hayes, Jamie Loney, and Camara Hudson. The next tournament will be 6 March 2010. The Debate team would like to invite parents to come to the tournaments to cheer on the Penguins at the next debate.
