Senior speech state finalist Grace Maietta performs "Can I Get A Witness?", her prose about a conflicted Jehovah's Witness. "Fine arts week gives the student body a chance to see what we (speech team) actually do," Maietta said. "I feel like they hear a lot about and no one no one can really understand speech until you see it happening before you."
