We learned that some of The Learning Center's students who submitted poems for the contests of the Poetry Society of North Carolina will have their poems published in Bay Leaves, the annual anthology with the winning poems in the annual contests held by the Poetry Society of NC.
In the Charlotte Young Contest for Elementary School Students Eli Sellers won third place and Jade Shelton received an honorable mention. The other contest was called “Carol Bessent Hayman Contest for Middle School Students” and Sam Davidson received honorable mention for his poem.
The names of the poems are:
Eli Sellers- “Dragon!”
Jade Shelton- “Fat Boy”
Samuel Davidson- “WAR”
The Learning Center in Murphy, NC is a charter school headed by Netwest member, Mary Jo Dyre.
This is a great project. It gives me an idea for something our writers' group could explore. Presently I'm working with 7th/8th grade "enrichment" students in an Art/Writing group. Wonderful young people.
