Congratulations go to Teresa Sicree from Centre County for winning 1st place at the state Oratory Contest in 2014. Teresa's 1st place prize was an all expenses paid trip to the National Right to Life Convention in Louisville KY where she represented PA at the National Oratory Contest.

Teresa is the first and only Oratory Contest winner from our region to win 1st place in the PA Pro-Life Federation State Oratory Contest!
I talked to Teresa on the phone a few days after the national competition. She was so thankful that she was able to go to the National Convention and compete in the National Oratory Contest. She was able to meet a number of national and inter-national pro-life leaders. It sounded like it was quite an experience for her.

Congratulations Teresa!!! And thank you for all your essays and speeches over the years. Read her speech:
In Denial by Teresa Sicree - 1st Place/2014 States Competition

Teresa also took First Place
in the 2011 National Right to Life
Pro-Life Junior High Essay Contest!


The title of her essay is My Generation’s Black Death.
Read it here!
Thank you Teresa for your fine work!

Congratulations, to all the past winners of the
Central PA Regional Oratory and Essay Contests!
You all did such a wonderful job!
