A tradition of excellence in speech and drama continues at Pella High School.

They are sending two acts – the Musical Theater performance of “Sister Act” and a TV News group to the All-State Speech Festival this Saturday in Ames after receiving the highest possible honor in high school speech. Students Bailee Meyer and Juliana Van Gorp from Sister Act tell KNIA/KRLS News they were almost overwhelmed by emotion when they were announced to be in the select group of performers.

Pella will join speech groups from Pella Christian and Pleasantville at the festival in Ames. Hear more about Sister Act on today’s Let’s Talk Pella.
