Last night, BFA held their Poetry Out Loud competition with 15 students from across all of our grade levels. Each student recited two poems and were scored for their accuracy, their physical presence, voice and articulation, dramatic appropriateness, evidence of understanding, and overall performance. Congratulations to all the students who performed last night and I was honored to have a small part of the performance.
Adsel Sparrow won our competition by reciting Margaretta Engle's
Turtle Came to See Me and Jimmy Santlago Baca's
I Am Offering the Poem. She will be moving on to represent BFA at Vermont's State competition.
