Students at Magnet have the opportunity to participate in the Poetry Out Loud competition. This competition is meant to foster the love of poetry and its recitation.
Students who win first or second prize at the local and regional level can compete at state, vying for a chance to travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in the national competition. Students choose two poems from the Poetry Out Loud catalog and memorize them to prepare for recitation in front of judges and fellow students.
