Dear Parents/Guardians:
I am excited to inform you that the American Heritage Poetry Contest has returned to Bossier Parish this school year, and your child/children are invited to participate.
Stockwell Place Elementary may enter one student from each grade in the parish-wide competition which will be held in February. To select our school’s student representatives for this event, we will hold a school-wide competition on January 21st. The first-place winners will go on to compete on the parish-wide level. The following are the guidelines for the parish competition which will also apply to Stockwell’s preliminary competition:
American Heritage Poetry Contest Rules:
Students must recite a patriotic poem.
Students will be eliminated from judging if they go over the required number of lines below.
Props will not be allowed.
Costumes and/or Sunday dress are encouraged, but will not affect judging. Students will be judged on the following four criteria: memorization, pronunciation, expression, and confidence/poise.
Line Requirements:
Kindergarten students will recite a 4 line poem.
First-grade students will recite a 6-8 line poem.
Second-grade students will recite an 8-12 line poem.
Third-grade students will recite a 12-16 line poem.
Fourth-grade students will recite a 16-20 line poem
Fifth-grade students will recite a 20-24 line poem.
** A line should be a maximum of 15 words.
We have included the link for a Google form in this e-mail as well as a link to the Discover Poetry website for some poem options. If your student would like to participate in the American Heritage Poetry Contest, please click on the Google form link, indicate your student’s name and intent to memorize and recite a patriotic poem of the appropriate length, and select his/her grade level. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail us.
We look forward to watching your child shine!
