Spoken Word

Spoken Word is looking forward to another phenomenal year of speaking truth.  All students are encouraged to join us on Thursdays from 3:15-4:15 in room #212.  Write poetry, share your poetry, and hear the poetry of others, all as part of performance art.  Our first Be Heard poetry slam is Friday February 6 right here at Southwest.  Students can compete against other poets from around the state for a spot on the team representing Minnesota.  Southwest was proud of the three Laker poets that represented Southwest and Minnesota in Philadelphia this past summer at the Brave New Voices International Poetry Slam.  Join Spoken Word, all are welcome.
