Graduation Season



Both high schools will hold their graduation ceremonies this week. Congratulations to all this year's graduates! May your thirst for knowledge never end.

I am taking a short hiatus while I upgrade my computer system. I hope all goes well.

Poetry 180

[click image to enlarge]

High school students and some of their teachers celebrated National Poetry Month by sharing poems and readings in the community room of the Thomas Crane Library. A few teachers and students had their Poetry 180 books with them. Poetry 180 is an initiative from the Library of Congress to present 180 contemporary poems (one for each day of the school year) for high school students to listen to or to read every day. Why Poetry 180? Hearing a poem every day, especially well-written, contemporary poems that students do not have to analyze, might convince students that poetry can be an understandable, painless and even eye-opening part of their everyday experience. Click here for more information. The library teacher, Ms. Tierney, is totally immersed in her poem here. The world needs more poets and poetry.

SAT on Saturday

High School students recently waited outside Quincy High School to take their 4 plus hour College Entrance Exams, better known as the SATs. Better them than me.

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
