Well, the results are in and I’m proud to publish these top-shelf grade-school poets! Congratulations to Veronica, Bridger, Brook, Emma, Davis, Sawyer, and Eva! As you can read below, the kids started with a “fill-in-the-blank” writing prompt for a poem originally titled “About Me.” These poets didn’t hesitate to use their imagination and creativity to complete it. Nice job, kids!
