Twenty-Two Sixth Graders Become Published Poets
Poetry by 22 sixth graders will be published in this year's edition of the "Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans."
The Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans (AOP) selected poems from 22 members of the Class of 2029 to be published in its publication. These students discovered the power of poetry in Mrs. Freibaum's sixth grade English class. Having edited children’s poetry since 1989, the AOP is dedicated to nurturing the self-expression and fun of poetry in young writers. The AOP not only seeks to inspire young writers but also to instill confidence in them and celebrate their successes.
