POETRY OUT LOUD -- Rushford-Peterson High School

The Minnesota Arts Board sponsors a Poetry Out Loud competition in Minnesota High Schools. Participants must choose two poems from a given selection, to memorize and recite for competition. Students are judged on a variety of items, from meorization, to difficulty level of the poem, to understanding what the poem means, to appropriate gestures.

This was the first competition of this sort in the R-P School.

Students did an impressive job.
