Congratulations North Shore Poets!
On Tuesday November 29th, six NSHAHS Poets participated at the 2nd Annual High School Poetry Competition at Rambam Mesivta. Rachelle David, Jonathan Schneck, Anna Hardcastle, Cayla Gold, Jordana Jampel, and Elias Strober-Horowitz engaged in a slam-style spoken word battle in which they performed original free verse poems on the theme of “Light,” and connected haikus on the theme of “Jewish Battles”. A total of five schools competed for a panel of three published authors, vying for an award. Sophomore Anna Hardcastle achieved success, winning the “Best Free Verse” plaque, and Senior Elias Strober-Horowitz was honored with the“Overall Best Performance” plaque. Freshman Rachelle David was also approached personally by one of the judges at the end of the slam; he let her know that she was in close contention for a prize as well. Overall, NSHAHS had an amazing showing at the slam, being the only school to win more than one award. Congratulations to Elias, Anna, and all the NSHAHS slam poets, who did an amazing job!
