• The poem you memorize and share must be at least 5 lines long
• Original poems are acceptable, but must be determined to have had some thought and imagination put into their creation;
• You can share up to two poems for entry into the raffle for prizes, but keep them coming after that (if you want - we love them)
• Be sure to have the name of the poem and the poet when you come so we can find it online and  make a copy for our bulletin board (i.e. our "Wall of Fame!"
• Tickets will be drawn for prizes during the first week of May (once the contest is completed).
• Both teachers and students can participate
• Teachers - encouraged to set an example for their students ;-).
