Open Mic

Poetry is the doorway to multiple perspectives and understanding the experiences of others. Throughout the year, students will develop a collection of poems, both original works and existing pieces.Open Mic events are an opportunity for students take center stage to express themselves with poetry. Students choose poems that inspire them, and they perform these poems in a cafe-style setting, complete with a platform, curtain, microphone, and spotlight. The Open Mic experience builds confidence, builds community, and addresses key academic standards.
