Our thanks to Charlotte Agell for filling us in on the annual HMS Poetry KaBaam, and to Charlotte, Merry Stuhr and Tracy Weinrich for their wonderful work on this inspiring event!
On April 5th, HMS celebrated National Poetry Month by hosting our annual
KaBaam. A KaBaam is a (locally invented!) kinder version of a Poetry
Slam. High school "Poetry Out Loud" contestant Hannah Grant regaled the
crowd, as did eight HMS students and one librarian, some of whom had
written their own poems.

After each performs, audience members write
down the emotion that the poem elicited. The room was a sea of
reactions! Many thanks to the parents who provided the refreshments
enjoyed by this large crowd of 7th and 8th grade poetry fans. A video
clip of the YGT High School quartet performing "Sorry" kicked off this
celebration in style. Poetry lives!
