Why are students all over the county memorizing and practicing their oral interpretations of great poems? Because its Poetry Out Loud season!  
 
Poetry Out Loud is a national recitation program for high school students, founded by the National Endowment for the Arts, sponsored in all of California by the California Arts Council and California Poets in the Schools and in Sonoma County by the Sonoma County Community Foundation. Students select poems from a large online anthology and deliver heart-felt, often mesmerizing renditions. 
 
The county winner will advance to the state competition, in Sacramento on March 12 and 13. The winner in Sacramento will advance to the national championships, to be held in Washington DC on April 25 and 26.
 
There is no cost to the school or the students to participate.
The schools involved this year are: Analy, Casa Grande, Creekside,
El Molino, Elsie Allen, Healdsburg, Maria Carrillo, Piner, Rancho Cotate, 
Roseland University Prep, Santa Rosa and Sonoma Academy.
 
Sonoma County has one of the most active participation rates in all of California.
