What’s the Story? (WTS) is a year-long, credit-bearing experience devoted to helping middle and high school students create and publish documentary films that effect positive change. WTS students gain literacy and advocacy skills as they connect across schools and cultures, launch critical inquiries into pressing community issues, and work independently and collaboratively to research and produce their films.
The Flynn is excited to partner with the Vermont Arts Council to present Poetry Out Loud. Created by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation, the program provides pathways for students to explore, memorize, and recite great works of poetry. Contestants choose and learn about poems from an extensive online anthology of classical and contemporary poetry while mastering public speaking skills as well as building self confidence. The national Poetry Out Loud recitation competition engages thousands of Vermont high school students every year. 8th graders taking at least one high school level course are also eligible to participate.
