Gordon-Rushville Public Schools

Just a reminder that the Gordon-Rushville High School All-school Poetry Out Loud competition will be held at the Gordon Theater tomorrow, January 29 at 4:15 p.m..

Eight finalists will compete in two rounds of poetry recitation to select a school champion to move to Regionals and State. Last year, GRHS student Lainey Fillmore won the State competition advancing to Nationals. She represented Nebraska in competition in Washington, D.C. Community, family, and friends are encouraged to attend. Refreshments will be provided. There is no charge for the event; however, a free will donation to the Gordon Theater will be accepted. Poetry Out Loud lifts poetry off the page, creating community and connection. Since the program began in 2005, more than 4.5 high school students have participated in this dynamic poetry recitation competition. Poetry Out Loud can help students improve public speaking skills, build confidence, and grow their appreciation for poetry. In recognition of America's 250th anniversary in 2026, this year's program will focus on poems that celebrate the rich tapestry of American history and culture.
