Lost In Translation Poetry Event

Calling all VOCALE members of French and Spanish -- and their students! You are cordially invited to participate in the Vermont Organization of Classics and Language Educators  4th annual poetry recitation contest and community event. 

Each participant, in grades Pre-K - 12 will be asked to recite from memory one pre-selected poem by  May 1,  2025. Students will record their recitations and teachers will upload the recordings so that VOCALE's panel of judges can evaluate the performances. 

Judging is based on pronunciation, memorization, and performance. First place winners in each category will be invited to the Vermont State House to receive their award later this spring.

REGISTER YOUR STUDENTS by April 17th at 3pm!  VOCALE members will  share video upload instructions from there.
