POETRY OUT LOUD:
COVID-19 Virus forced Virtual Performances for Poetry Out Loud State Competition 2020 The COVID-19 Virus Cancelled the Poetry Out Loud State Competition that was to be held at the State Capitol, March 14. The directive was given that each county needed to video their County Champion and download the 3 poems to Sacramento on the Saturday prior to the competition scheduled for Sunday. Hayfork’s team rallied for our Trinity Champion, Sunshine Montgomery, with coach Becky Stetson and technical specialist Jonathon Daniels braving the storm warning to video Sunshine’s performance at Hayfork High School. I asked Sunshine why she chose to volunteer for the POL Program. “To overcome my fear”, said Sunshine. SEE Full Story and Photos of Virtual Performance Youtube: "Cartoon Physics" "Diameter" |
