Do you care about the health and well-being of the Poets in the Schools program?
Do you want to see youth poetry in Santa Fe not only survive, but also live, breathe, and grow?
The date of the meeting we’ll be at is still tentative, but we are hoping to be on the agenda for the April 1st meeting of the Santa Fe Board of Education. The meeting will be held at the Educational Services Center which is located at 610 Alta Vista Street; board meetings begin at 4:30 pm.
Whether it’s on April 1st or another date, here’s our plan: Poets from SFHS’s poetry club will speak and share some of their work. Depending on the time allowed and what we decide we want to be our focus, professional poets from New Mexico Culture Net’s PITS program may also share, and I or another teacher could take a minute or two of the board’s time, as well.
If you have ideas about what to say and how to say it, be sure that you voice those things to me here or in person.
I’m hoping that everyone in our poetic community that is available that afternoon will be in attendance, regardless of whether you are speaking to the board or not.
