2017 Poetry Contest Winner Named
The Poetry Recitation Contest is part of the English curriculum during which each student at Avon recites a poem of his choice over the course of the winter term. Winners from each English section then compete and then a winner from each grade is selected. For the first time one class had two representatives advance to the final competition after judges encountered a tie at the class-level competition. This year, the following boys were selected to represent their respective classes in the final contest:
Connor Preen '17 For What Binds Us by Jane Hirschfield
Drew Liptrot '18 Animula by T.S. Eliot
Feng Lu '19 When Does the Full Moon Appear by Shi Su
Polam Fung '20 The Joy of Little Things by Robert William Service
Lucas Schmidt '20 The Wood Pile by Robert Frost
We are proud to announce that junior Drew Liptrot is the winner for 2017 and congratulate him and al the finalists on their accomplishment!
