Ryan Karis, a student at Calhoun High School, was among 18 state finalists at this year’s Poetry Out Loud competition in Manhattan, which was held in March.
To reach the state level, the students first competed at regional semifinals in February. At both the semifinals and finals, participants recited works from classic and contemporary poets and were scored by a panel of judges that included poets and educators.
The state competition was coordinated by the Teachers & Writers Collaborative in partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts.
