ACS Debaters with an Award from a National Debate Tournament

This past weekend ACSers from the Debate Club (with faculty advisors Adam Saligman, Milka Getsovska, and Michael Deegan) took part along with students from 14 other schools from all over the country in the first national Bulgarian Forensic League (“BFL”) tournament of the year.  An ACS team consisting of students Adelina Ivanova (11/7), Veselin Nanov (10/2), and Mihail Georgiev (10/7) won the first prize in the "Karl Popper Debate" varsity category, a specific format involving a team of three debating another team of three, all in the age group of Grades 10 to 12. Congratulations to Adelina, Veselin, Mihail, and their faculty advisors for their great achievement!

It may be of interest that BFL was initiated by six Fulbright English Teachers in the beginning of 2013, among them ACS faculty members Michael Deegan and Hanna Allen, “to give Bulgarian learners of English a chance to practice and perfect their English speaking skills through intelligent debate and interpretive performance competitions”.
