Even with a lesser number of competitors in all levels, GCA competitors still won several awards in the January competition.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Haas, GCA 4th grade teacher and coach who has been actively involved in the Primary Grades Forensic Conference, said that all her students who competed at least twice in the monthly competitions all qualified to compete in the PGFC regional competition, which will be held at GCA in March.<\/p>\n<p>Miss Amanda, as her students call her, has judged all the PGFC competitions.<\/p>\n<p>She said she has enjoyed getting involved in PGFC as both a classroom coach and a judge. It has been a huge learning experience for her because this year is the first year she has ever participated in a competition like this one. She has learned so much from judging or even just keeping time, and getting to watch not only GCA students, but students from other schools as well. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been amazing to see how the students take pride in their talents and abilities, and compete with confidence. It is also encouraging to see progress from competition to competition, as the students continue practicing and note their own successes. I have celebrated their victories silently behind my computer screen at home, when the results are posted \u2013 but my favorite is when I get to see the bright faces of my students and we are able to celebrate together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>PRIMARY GRADES FORENSIC CONFERENCE<\/p>\n<p>KINDER-2ND GRADE DIVISION<br \/>\nHumorous Interpretation B<br \/>\nAkira Ito, 5th Place<\/p>\n<p>Impromptu Speaking A<br \/>\nMariska Badal, 1st\u00a0Place<br \/>\nSofia Cariaso, 4th\u00a0Place<\/p>\n<p>Impromptu Speaking B<br \/>\nArielle Mae Matutino, 2nd Place<br \/>\nMin Su Andy Kim, 5th Place<\/p>\n<p>Readers Forum Masters B<br \/>\nAiyana Victory Fatialofa, 3rd Place<\/p>\n<p>Choral Speaking A<br \/>\nMariska Badal, 3rd Place<br \/>\nSofia Cariaso, 3rd Place<br \/>\nHannah Gabaldon, 3rd Place<br \/>\nCaroline Chuyao Sun, 3rd Place<\/p>\n<p>3RD-5TH GRADE DIVISION<\/p>\n<p>Dramatic Interpretation A<br \/>\nTae Hee Kim, 3rd Place<br \/>\nJennifer Woo, 5th\u00a0Place<\/p>\n<p>Humorous Interpretation A<br \/>\nAshley Ji Hye Jeon, 1st Place<br \/>\nSerim Woo, 2nd Place<\/p>\n<p>Humorous Interpretation B<br \/>\nSena Woo, 2nd Place<br \/>\nWilliam Matthew Cano, 3rd Place<br \/>\nAzriel Fatialofa, 4th\u00a0Place<\/p>\n<p>Duo Interpretation A<br \/>\nMoira Grace Ernest, 1st Place<br \/>\nSeungeun Olivia Ha, 1st Place<\/p>\n<p>Impromptu Speaking\u00a0A<br \/>\nSena Woo, 2nd Place<\/p>\n<p>Impromptu Speaking\u00a0B<br \/>\nEunice Nicole Pagaduan, 1st Place<br \/>\nMoira Grace Ernest, 2nd Place<\/p>\n<p>Impromptu Speaking\u00a0C<br \/>\nSerim Woo, 2nd Place<br \/>\nAngieleysha Marie Punzalan, 3rd Place<br \/>\nSara Elizabeth Keaton, 4th Place<\/p>\n<p>Readers Forum A<br \/>\nEarl Jean Jonathan Pantaleon, 3rd Place<\/p>\n<p>Readers Forum Masters A<br \/>\nEunice Nicole Pagaduan, 1st Place<\/p>\n<p>Readers Forum Masters B<br \/>\nTae Hee Kim, 1st Place<br \/>\nJennifer Woo, 2nd Place<br \/>\nAzriel Fatialofa, 3rd Place<br \/>\nAlyssa Kim, 5th Place<\/p>\n<p>Readers Forum Masters C<br \/>\nYellena Sarang Kim, 3rd Place<br \/>\nRafael Busby, 5th Place<\/p>\n<p>Teachers\/coaches:<br \/>\nK5 Teacher, Sheryl Joy Prieto<br \/>\n1st Grade Teacher, Courtney Poppinga<br \/>\n2nd Grade Teacher, Miriam Dilse<br \/>\n3rd Grade Teacher, Rosanna Lopez<br \/>\n4th Grade Teacher, Amanda Haas<br \/>\n5th Grade Teacher, Leah Garfil<br \/>\nPGFC Coach\/Coordinator, Esther Manzano<br \/>\nJudges\/volunteers: Courtney Poppinga, Amanda Haas, Marilyn Aldan, Joan Taitano, Desolie Calayo, <\/p>\n<p>NATIONAL JUNIOR SPEECH &amp;
