Last week, our Middle School took center stage for the annual Poetry and Hip-Hop Showcase—an unforgettable celebration of voice, creativity, and community. The Showcase marked the culmination of a month-long study of spoken word, poetry, and rap in partnership with Artist-In-Residence El’Ja Bowens, an award-winning spoken word poet, an award-winning spoken word poet, host, speaker, workshop facilitator, author and military veteran.
Seventh-grade poets led the charge with original works that moved and inspired, joined by alumni performers from eighth grade and a few bold sixth graders ready to make their debut. From heartfelt verses to powerful performances, the showcase was a testament to the talent and courage of our students. Thank you to everyone who shared their words, cheered from the crowd, and helped bring the event to life.
We’re already looking forward to next year.
