The Eighth grade 2015 Poetry Recitation Contest will be held next Friday, April 17th at 2 p.m. in the 8th grade classroom. Students will receive a free dress day and will be expected to dress up for the contest. We would love to have family and friends in attendance for the event. Please RSVP to mchristensen@otacharter.org.

Students will recite a Core Knowledge poem (or any other poem by the same authors), following these guidelines. We will be working on memorizing and performing our poems in class, but students should be also be practicing at home on a daily basis!

The Final “From the Page to the Stage” School-wide contest will be held the following Thursday, April 24th. The top three performers from the 8th grade will continue on to the School Finals.
