Speechcom International has an interesting package called “English Mix,” in which fluency in speaking and singing in English is interrelated with music and choreography. On April 10-24, graders (morning), high school students (afternoon) students and pre-school pupils (10-11:45 a.m.), Mondays to Fridays, will once again converge at the Sacred Heart Center to experience fun-filled interactive sessions to make them better readers, declaimers, orators, emcees, performing artists, among others. A grand culminating activity at the Ayala awaits the participants.
