Poetry Contest in the Commons!

To celebrate Poetry Month the L.C. is inviting poets to submit their work to be judged by a panel of experts and for the popular vote of their peers.

We will endeavour to use technology to reach voters.  Stay tuned for more details about how to use your cellphone to call in to hear the poems and vote for your favorite poet.

We are excited to have Spoken Work Artist Nathanael Larochette conduct  workshops with the Writer's Craft class and Ms. Fedorowicz gr. 9 English class and giving a Spoken Word performance to a group of gr. 7/8 students!  Listen to his Beautiful poem for a taste!

Nathanael will be the masters of ceremony at Ontario Library Association's Ottawa Festival of Trees at Carelton University Field House on May 17th.  All Silver Birch and Red Maple Reading Clubs in the Ottawa area will attend...over 1000 students!

Check out the poetry display of books @ the Learning Commons and the display of student poetry in our display case!
