Poetry festival

Meredith Jankiewicz

Just to give you all a heads-up, in celebration of Día del Idioma, the English Department hosted a poetry festival where middle and high school students could participate by reciting poems. The event took place on Monday, April 13th, during C period, in Colgate.

We capped participation at 30 entries to ensure that everyone had enough time to present. To minimize classroom absences while maintaining an intimate environment with genuinely engaged students, only registered participants were allowed to attend. However, teachers who had a free period were very welcome to stop by and watch the festival.

The winners were:

María Paula: original poem

Lucy Correa: published poem

Sara González and Gabriela Jaramillo: group poem
