On Friday April 1st, the CHS English and Library Departments held our Second Annual Poetry Slam. Slam Poetry or Spoken Word Poetry is a form of competitive poetry that usually focuses on important personal and/or societal issues. The poems are performed with emotion and intensity in front of an audience.
This year we had nine student performers who competed against their peers in our High School Library. With over 80 people in attendance, our student performers shared their emotional and meaningful poems to captive and interactive listeners. The snaps and cheers for each student performer was just wonderful!
This year we were thrilled to have a small Jazz Ensemble perform throughout the evening. The entire event was a phenomenal success. Each poet shared their talents and unique creativity with confidence. Unfortunately, at the High School level students are so academically focused that they rarely have the opportunity share their poetic talent. We are so excited to host this wonderful event and are already looking forward to next year's Poetry Slam!
A special thanks goes out to our very supportive and constructive judges Mrs. Asenbauer, Ms. Macpherson, and Miss Neiman.

Hope to see you at the Slam next year!!
