"Poets for Peace would like to thank

Mr Edwards, Miss Busby, Miss Marcantonio and the Students at Central High"

 

Kind words from Miss Marcantonio: teacher at Central High

"I would like to thank you and the Poets for Peace for their extraordinary performance at Central High School on Friday, January 11. The students overwhelmingly enjoyed the performance, as did the teachers and staff. The performers were engaging and spoke to the lives of the students with passion and candor.  I was impressed at the sensitivity of the poets in selecting poems that touched on issues close to the students' hearts.  Thank you so much for making such a positive impression on the students at Central High School, for inspiring, educating and uplifting them, for elevating their interest in poetry and for opening up their worlds by touching them with yours."

 

Kind words from Miss Busby: Central High School Reading Coach

"What a super experience and performance for the students at CHS! Thank you so much . . .
We would definitely like to have you back."
