HUDSON – Danielle Walburn, a student at Presentation of Mary Academy, placed second place in the Massachusetts 4-H state level competition for visual presentations.

The event was held March 28 at John Glenn Middle School in Bedford, Mass.

In order to advance to the state level, a 4-H member must win at the county level. Danielle accomplished this on March 14. Her topic was “The Nubian Goat,” and she completed a four-minute, 25-second oral educational presentation in front of three judges and a room full of people.

There were six other presenters of different ages in her category from all across Massachusetts.

“I am so proud of Danielle,” said Danielle’s mother, Aleisha Walburn, “and also thankful to PMA for providing her the opportunities to improve her public speaking skills and gain confidence.”
