2010-2011--SLC competed for the third year in the Poetry Out Loud Program. We had an Open Mic event
in the fall and a POL/English Expo Showcase in the spring. Students participated in workshops and practice sessions
and performed at the Showcase before competing at POL and English Expo on the weekend.
SLC Poetry Out Loud winner, Triniti Pankuch placed second at the state event in Santa Fe in February of 2011. She was awarded some
poetry books and $100. The school also received $200 to purchase poetry books. Contact the school for details.
In 2009, Junior Danielle Turner placed second in the New Mexico competition!
The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation have partnered with State Arts Agencies of the United States
to support the expansion of Poetry Out Loud, which encourages the nation's youth to learn about great poetry through memorization
and performance. This exciting program helps students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their
literary heritage.
Participants compete at the classroom level, school level, regional, and state level with the state winner
competing at the finals in Washington D.C.
