Seven Reedy Creek Elementary fourth graders received letters congratulating them for writing poems that have been selected for publication in the 2009 Young American Poetry Digest.
The students are Deshondre Bellinger, Shayla Dubay, Tyrail Hunter, Youn Sun Lee, Kevin S., Lewis Smith, and Zachary Zdelar.
The students studied and wrote in the poetic form called Haiku. Their teacher, Kathryn Calabrese, submitted their poems to the National Schools Project. This project was designed 14 years ago to share youth’s talents with others and provide publishing opportunities for young poets. The students’ poems were then reviewed by a panel of educators who selected poems that were especially well written for the age level of the student.
Reedy Creek will receive a free book for the library.
Thanks for Kathryn Calabrese for sharing this story with GotNews
