My Project

Every year my students write the most amazing poetry. They open up their hearts and share their emotions with me. I do not take that for granted. It is the most wonderful experience for all of us, and I couldn't be more proud of their accomplishments.

In order to share their talents, we put on a poetry reading after they have completed their poetry book project.

The readings are in front of family and friends at the school. At this time, our school is going through a major reconstruction and the space is limited. This year it will be held in the cafeteria. In order to make this space worthy of my amazing poets, I need your help. These tablecloths will make a huge difference and can be used for years to come!
