NaPoWriMo Poetry Challenge
Mondays & Wednesdays | 1:30-2:30 PM | Starts April 1
In this all-ages class, students will challenge themselves to write 30 poems during the month of April in honor of National Poetry Writing Month. Each session, students will hear an inspiring poem, encounter a new prompt, and enjoy writing and sharing time. At the end of class, they can expect an additional prompt or two to keep them writing. For our final class, we will have a virtual open mic where readers can share their work. NaPoWriMo will run for 9 sessions ending Wednesday, April 29.
