Senior Christmas Poetry on Display

"Winter Morning" by Kaname Kaneiwa

Just before Thanksgiving, the seniors in British Literature did a unit on poetry where they learned about sonnets and the poetry of the psalms in the Bible. As part of the creative expression for the unit, the students wrote their own poetic prayers in response to the Christmas story and then created an ornament to display their poetry. At the end of last school year, the school received grant money that we applied to buy a Glowforge--a laser printer with endless possibilities for creativity. The students picked the shape of the ornament they wanted, and then their teacher, Mrs. Lindsey Santana, took their prayer and engraved the writing on the cut ornament with the Glowforge. Their projects will be on display for the month of December on a tree in the foyer at Campion Church. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and see their creativity!
