Poetry Out Loud Competition
The Orange County Department of Education and California Arts Council is partnering with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foudation to support a wonderful event for high school students called Poetry Out Loud (POL). POL is a contest that encourages students to memorize and recite different genres of timeless poetry. The program is intended to help students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about literacy heritage.
