[January 24, 2025]   On November 15, 2024, Guest House Coffee & Pastries in Lincoln hosted fifth graders from Washington-Monroe School for the fourth annual Poetry Slam.

On November 15, 2024, Guest House Coffee & Pastries in Lincoln hosted fifth graders from Washington-Monroe School for the fourth annual Poetry Slam.

Students in Mrs. Snow’s and Mrs. Weaver’s classes presented original works following a three-week poetry unit. During this time, students read, analyzed, and wrote various styles of poetry in class each day.

Near the end of the unit, students chose their favorite poem to refine through the writing process. They revised, edited, and published their works. They practiced reading their poems aloud in preparation for presentation to parents and community members.

This event would not have been possible without the generosity of Guest House and the creativity, hard work, and excitement of the students!
