The 2nd annual Poetry Out Loud competition was held today at TMS. Poetry Out Loud, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and The Poetry Foundation, is a nationwide program that involves student recitation of any poem offered on the Poetry Out Loud website.
The winner of today’s competition was Jeremy McNamara for his recitation of “Catch A Little Rhyme” by Eve Merriam. Jeremy will represent The Marin School at the Marin Country Poetry Out Loud Contest on February 6th. Last year, over 300,000 students nationwide competed in county and state contests for 1 of 12 spots in the national contest held in Washington D.C. The Poetry Out Loud national finalist receives a $20,000 award while all 12 finalists receive a monetary award as well.
Congratulations to all students who participated in today’s competition:
Luca Tedesco
Paola Garcia
Jeremy McNamara
Demetrius Borge

And thanks to our staff and faculty judges for a great turnout!
