April is National Poetry Month. Poetry is celebrated at every turn in room 151 at Campus School-during math; in the rain; by reading aloud to each other; by writing and performing poetry; through choral recitation. Some poems were written to send to men and women serving our country aboard the aircraft carrier, others were composed to honor Costa Rica during Memphis in May. Others have been created to be displayed in restaurants as part of a project called Food for Thought. Now the Campus School children will once again read their poetry in the Ned R. McWherter Library Rotunda.

The campus community and the public in general are warmly invited to this free program.

For more information please call Mr. Tom Mendina at 901-678-4310 or Ms. Klaudia Kroboth at 901-678-2209.
