Project VOICE to perform for LS, MS

Spoken-word poetry group Project VOICE will perform for Lower School and Middle School at their upcoming community meetings on Thursday. March 21 and Friday, March 22.
 
By Kate Pritchard, Library Director

As part of the annual Author in Residence program, a joint production of the English Department and the Hassenfeld Library, two poets from Project VOICE will be bringing their signature spoken-word poetry program to students in lower and middle school during their upcoming community meetings.

During the group's visit to USN, they will also work directly in classes with all fourth and eighth graders. They'll also do a professional development workshop for local educators. This event will be free to the public but capped at 50 participants, so we're requiring advanced registration with this form. The workshop will take place 4-6 p.m. Thursday, March 21 in Durnan Auditorium.

The Author in Residence program is generously supported by funds from Fall Book Frenzy.

  • Back-to-school Popsicle Party cancelled

    Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.
