Harvest Youth Board supports Piedmont Arts’ effort to ‘Lift Up’ area high school students through poetry – The Harvest Foundation Harvest Youth Board supports Piedmont Arts’ effort to ‘Lift Up’ area high school students through poetry Harvest Youth Board Members Webb Garrett (left) and Chloe Taylor (right) present Sarah Short (center), Education Coordinator for Piedmont Arts, with a $5,000 grant award for the “Poetry to Lift Us Up” project.
Martinsville, Va. — The Harvest Youth Board funded a $5,000 grant to Piedmont Arts to support the “Poetry to Lift Us Up” project within all local high schools. The program features engaging workshops taught by Roscoe Burnems, a National Poetry Slam winner and Richmond, Virginia’s first-ever poet laureate, and by Angela Dribben, of the Poetry Society of Virginia.
The primary focus of these sessions is to make poetry accessible to students of all ability and literacy levels. In addition, the workshops enable students to break away from the monotony of nonfiction-writing prompts and essays, while also strengthening students’ ability to write and analyze them.
Harvest Youth Board Member Cristiano di Maro said, “The grant focuses on increasing literacy in local high schools through poetry, while also making poetry fun and interactive for young people in our area. Being able to write better, and have a new appreciation for poetry, are skills that people can use throughout their entire lives. I think this grant is perfect for stimulating interest and enjoyment in writing in our schools.
” Sarah Short, Education Coordinator for Piedmont Arts, said poetry readings, slams and groups are a fantastic way for students to hone their public speaking skills. “After years of irregular schooling and separation, poetry offers students a way to connect that is authentic, encouraging and fun,” Short said.
“Students will analyze, write and perform original poetry in new and exciting ways during these workshops, and hopefully, outside of the classroom as well. ” For more information about Piedmont Arts, its programs or how to donate, visit piedmontarts. org .
