On the evening of May 15, students from the fifth grade gathered at Barnes and Noble of Westport to share their original, creative prose. Each spring the 5th graders learn about, read and write various forms of poetry in their language arts classes. Out of the many poems each student writes, they pick what they feel are their best ones, to share with family and friends. The opportunity to speak publicly, outside of the comfort of their school environment, is both challenging and rewarding! Year after year the audience members are amazed and touched by the thoughtful, funny and sometimes deep prose produced by our students. This year of course was no different. Bravo to all those who participated!
