Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

On Thursday, March 19 and Monday, March 23 SJHS was honored to have slam poets come perform during Quest Time.

Tara Pina, a seventh grade English teacher at SJHS, arranged for the poets to come visit the school during a poetry unit she does in her classroom.

Benjamin Barker and Léhi Valladares came on Thursday. Both performed original poems and answered questions for the students. Benjamin Barker performed his most well know poem, Rubiks Cube, at the request of the students. 

On Monday, March 23, David Kuhns and Kaelan Pratt each performed slam poems and then opened up the floor to the SJHS student body. Many members of Ms. Pina's seventh grade class performed original slam poetry.
