After receiving a letter from the National Poetry Project about writing poems for their digest, I thought we should give it a try. I would announce it to the students and whomever wanted to write could come into the library during recess to do so. I never guessed we would have 56 students (2nd, 3rd and 4th) choose to write poems. Out of those students, 29 were chosen from across the United States to be published in the 2018 Poetry Digest. So proud of all of our poets who gave it a shot!
