Carly Couvillion and Tatem Morrow, both 6th graders at SRA, took two of the three winning spots for their grade in the Mississippi Poetry Project: Dreams & Wishes.

 

Couvillion's poem is titled Dreams, and Morrow's is called Beyond Infinity. They were the only PGSD students to win on the state level in the competition. 

 

This year's poem prompt asked students: "What do you hope your future will look like? What do you dream for the world, or for Mississippi, or for your own backyard?"

 

K-12 students across Mississippi submit their work, and three from each grade level are selected for recognition. Each school submits three entries per grade, and all school-wide winners will have their winning poems published in a contest anthology and be invited to attend the Mississippi Young Writers Poetry Festival in April.

 

Congratulations to Carly and Tatem!
