Charles "Longfellow"...his feet do show it!!

Charles competed in the Poetry Out Loud again this year. He didn't win, but his stage presence is so good. He actally likes being up there. His best friend Berret won the local competition and will go to Anchorage to compete for the State. If she wins there she would go to Nationals where they have scholarships available for the winners. The competition has a set list of 500 or so poems that the kids can pick from. They do one that is under 25 lines and their choice for the other. At the State level they do 3 poems. All of the kids were really good. Grandma got to see Charles do his poems and meet his friends.
