Congratulations to Sarah Lauzon, who competed in the Poetry Out Loud competition at the state level in Lansing! Poetry Out Loud is a national poetry recitation competition for high school students. By encouraging youth to learn about great poetry through memorization and performance, students can master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage. The program and all materials are provided to each partner at no cost. Sarah was one of twenty students to compete. Excellent work, Sarah!
