Poet Herm Card Visits the Middle School

Today, Dryden Middle School welcomed poet and middle school teacher Herm Card. As the MS Visiting poet, he worked with several MS ELA classes and later gave a poetry reading in the library media center.
Middle school students also celebrated 'Poem in Your Pocket Day'. MS students and teachers read their favorite original or published poems to an audience of MS students in the cafeteria.
Students, teachers, and administrators all had fun experiencing poetry in the middle school today.
This event was part of our Poetry at Dryden MS/HS 2006 program with grant funding from the Dryden Youth Opportunity Fund, the Dryden Teachers Center, and Lori Harris, friend of Mrs. Cunningham.
