Civics First held its annual Debate and Mock Trial Awards Ceremony at the Mark Twain House in Hartford on May 30. Regional District #4 had two teams in the debate finals. The Valley Regional High School debate team of Connor Riordan and Mike Ryan placed second in the state. The John Winthrop Middle School team of Ava Cunningham and Jordan Azzinaro are the state debate champions. Both teams were awarded a plaque in recognition of their accomplishments. The high school resolve was Congressional term limits, while the middle school resolve was requiring fact-checking of news during a political campaign.
