Chloe wrote her poem in her language arts class taught by Renee Burton. Her first place poem, titled Poetry, was entered in the 7th-8th grade division. To be chosen for the performance in the Dance-a-Poem program, a poem must be a first place winner and be conducive to a dance performance. This is a free event open to the public. All other LAD entries, including the 22 winners from Greenfield Jr. High, will be on display at the event. Students will receive their ribbons at the Greenfield Jr. High Awards Assembly on May 21, 2024, at 10:00 a.m.
