On April 11, the seventh grade held their poetry cafe. During their poetry unit, each seventh grader wrote and workshopped several poems. At the poetry cafe, they shared at least one of their finished poems with the entire grade.

Our final event of the month will be Write Night, our biannual celebration of student and faculty writing. This spring's Write Night, which focuses exclusively on poetry, will be on April 24th from 4:45-6. If you'd like to read your own poetry, sign up with your English teacher. You can also always come as a member of the audience even if you don't have a personal piece of poetry to read.
