Culver City Middle School’s Speech and Debate team had a great weekend! On Friday, December 6, the team’s 28 students visited Jefferson Middle School in San Gabriel and brought home 11 trophies. The following day, the school hosted 12 other schools on CCMS campus for another competition, and four CCMS debaters brought home two more trophies.
