Poetry Out Loud
This week, Amina, Andrianna, Erin, Farah, Ivan, Nali, and Tori competed in our on-campus Poetry Out Loud recitation competition. The entire Linden Hall community was enthralled as our performers brought several classic poems dramatically to life, while our judges deliberated which student should proceed to the regional competition at Millersville University’s Ware Center in late January.
