Our first poetry night was a great success!  Our students not only recited poems, they also had the opportunity to listen to some of Chicago's best poets! We also had a great dinner and an excellent time.  We would like to thank our poets Kimistry, Jynx, Allen Bryson and LaNoah Lomax.  Please visit our link below to view pictures from this fun event!
