7GP Regional Poetry Reading

Earlier this semester, our seventh graders had the opportunity to enter the 7GP Poetry Contest, a country-wide contest open to budding poets which was established here in St. Louis five years ago.  The winning poet from OLS, Amy, recently had the chance to share her poem with the region during a special event at The Book House.  At the event, Amy met with other winning poets, autographed copies of the anthology in which her poem is published, and read her thought-provoking poem aloud.  We are proud of you, Amy!

Special thanks also to Mrs. Ryan for coordinating this project and for encouraging our young poets!
