What happens when 23 students come together to recite poetry? A great event... that's what! Thanks to the hard work and excellent recitations, ELCO's first annual Poetry Out Loud competition was a huge success. The high school library was filled with the sounds of poetry and music helping to create a wonderful atmosphere for the competition. Thank you to the students who dedicated themselves to memorizing and interpreting poetry. You make us VERY PROUD! Thank you to Tyler Newhouse, Owen Shartle, and Connor Smith for providing music for the event. We LOVED your guitar experiments! Additionally, a special thanks to Ms. Kokan, Mrs. Taylor, Ms. Haas, Mrs. Noll, and Mrs. Velazquez for helping to make the competition run smoothly and for supporting this endeavor.
