The entire OMS population celebrated Poem In Your Pocket Day sponsored by the LMC on Thursday, April 27. Every student carried several copies of a favorite poem written by either a published poet or the student himself/herself. During designated trading times during the day, announcements were made to encourage students to share their poems. Grade level classes took the opportunity to meet with other classes to exchange and share their poems.
At lunch, students were entertained by Julie Jurgens, the children’s librarian at Arlington Heights Memorial Library. Ms. Jurgens recited some poetry and encouraged students to share theirs with a bigger audience as well. She invited students up to the stage to read aloud the poems in their pockets.
