Winning Poetry !!
Some of the middle school students sharpened their poetry skills by
entering Mrs. Hynnek’s Middle School Poetry Contest. In first place for
9th grade is Deondre Sigler with his poem, “Equal”, 8th grade is Alyssa Herberg with
“Red” and 7th grade is Lilly Stueve with “Knife To The Heart.”

Deondre Sigler: “Equal”
No one listened to the words uttered
They didn't ever give them a chance
This all because they were colored
The nation stuck in a trance
The hope came to help them all
The people finally could screen glory
Like Jackie in baseball
Martin Luther King was a bigger story
Many things went really bad
Rosa didn't give up her spot
She got arrested but I’m not sad
Martin may have got shot
His life may have come to an end
In fifty years it got a little neater
He became a legend
Look at us especially our leader
We have come so far
And we finally are
Equal
Alyssa Herberg: “Red”
It’s the stain upon the wineglass rim,
It’s the memories of a battle wound on the clothing,
It’s the light of the passion in the air,
It’s the color of the liquid that gives you life,
It’s the warmth of the candle’s flame that flickers
throughout the night,
It’s the feeling of shock in the soul,
It’s the shade of the blushed faces,
It’s the emotion hidden in the faded picture that is
framed in the corner.
“The Jungle Book”
By Jenna Johnsrud
The Jungle Book comes out on
April 15! It is a live action cover of the
1967 Disney cartoon movie. It is about
a boy named Mowgli who is raised by
wolves in a jungle. A tiger threatens to
kill him because humans aren't supposed to be in the jungle. Mowgli
leaves the jungle and encounters many
different creatures along the way. Can
he make it out before the tiger, Shere
Kahn, gets him?
Lilly Stueve: “Knife To The Heart”
Last year I fell for you
And I really didn't want to.
But there’s just something about you.
Is what I feel true.
Your love.. It tears me apart.
It feels like a knife to the heart.
But it always.
Makes me.
Want more.
You make me lose my mind.
I wish I could stop the time.
But you just won’t leave my mind.
I need to find out if you’re mine.
Your love… It tears me apart.
If feels like a knife to the heart.
But it always.
Makes me.
Want more.
