POETRY OUT LOUD
Fall 2011, LAMB Arts LTD will again be partnering with The Iowa Arts Council in spreading Poetry Out Loud Iowa across the state! As an IAC Poetry Partner, LAMB Arts LTD will work with IAC to promote poetry in the state, provide professional development and workshop opportunities to teachers and students in our region and be the local contact for POL activities. 
The National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation created Poetry Out Loud, which encourages the nation’s youth to learn about great poetry through memorization and performance. This exciting program helps students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage.  Poetry Out Loud is a national contest with the national finals held in our nation's capital concluding with winners receiving generous prize packages.

 
Teachers: to participate in Iowa Poetry Out Loud program go to  www.iowaartscouncil.org. The Iowa Arts Council has created a simple funding program to bring the poets into classrooms. For additional information about how LAMB Arts LTD can assist you in this exciting program, please contact Diana Wooley at diana.wooley@gmail.com.  
We are excited to work with you and your students.
