On January 28, the annual school-wide Poetry Out Loud recitation contest will take place in the McIntosh auditorium immediately following school release, and admission is free.
Students first had to perform for their English class, and their teacher recommended them to move forward.

The poems that students will be reciting all come from the Poetry Out Loud site.
