Last night, 9 LBHS and 5 ILC students competed in the 11th Annual Poetry Out Loud school finals at The Merc Playhouse. All the students impressed the judges and audience with their recitations. However, only two students can move on to the regional competition in Spokane.
The LBHS winner was junior Leki Albright with second place going to junior Willow Frady and third place going to senior Melody Langan. Leki finished first in 2020 and second in 2021. Leki is the first LBHS student to finish in the top two for three years in a row.
The ILC winner was senior Glacier Gilbert, with second place going to junior Amelia Evans, and third place going to junior Ila Newman. Glacier and Leki now move on to Spokane.
Congratulations to all our fabulous Poetry Out Loud participants!
