Three FRHSD Students to Perform at Regional Poetry Out Loud Competition
It’s all about the spoken word during the Poetry Out Loud competition.
The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation partnered with U.S. state arts agencies to support Poetry Out Loud, a contest that encourages the nation's youth to learn about great poetry through memorization and recitation. This program helps students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage.
Students from three Freehold Regional High School District schools will perform at the regional competition on February 22nd. These students won the school level competition held in their buildings, providing them the chance to compete in the regional event.
The FRHSD students participating are:
Alec Gousset, a junior at Colts Neck High School
Lauren Ordemann, a sophomore at Howell High School
Sarah Baum, a sophomore at Marlboro High School
The two champions named at the regional competition will go on to compete at the New Jersey State Finals in March.
