Each year the Brockton Public Schools host a districtwide poetry contest, inviting students from throughout the city to submit their work. This year's theme was "I Write and Draw to Share My Voice" and students' submissions did an incredible job of reflecting the theme and amplifying student voices.
The winners of this year's contest were:
K-2: Maya from the Baker and Dior Thomas from the Baker (runner-up)
3-5: Cyana Guerra from the George
6-8: Joshua Lopes from East and John V. Cotter from the Ashfield (runner-up)
9-12: Anderson Teixeira Goncalves from BHS and Zoey Cooper from BVLA (runner-up)
