Rogers Student Wins Local Poetry Contest
Congratulations to Rogers 5th grader, Brielle Beniot, for being named the youth winner of the ‘If the River Could Sing’ poetry contest sponsored by InsideOut Detroit. Brielle is a member of the Rogers Poetry Club, sponsored by the Berkley Education Foundation. On Saturday, May 16, Brielle had the opportunity to recite her poem, River Poem, at the Spring Into Wilson event at Ralph Wilson Park in Detroit. Brielle wrote her winning poem at school during a special Rogers Poetry Club workshop with local poet Jacqueline Suskin. At the event, Signal Return made prints of her poem which were distributed to guests.
Congratulations, Brielle!
