Each year, teachers at Ettrick Elementary School submit student poems for inclusion in a National Poetry Anthology. Many are accepted for publication annually. All Ettrick third-graders submitted poems. Forty-four student poems have been chosen for inclusion in the May 2016 edition of “A Celebration of Poets,” a national poetry anthology. This annual distinction is bestowed upon less than half of all students nationally.
Ettrick Elementary has been designated a Poetic Honor School because of the high quality of poems they had published. The hard cover book is a source of pride for students and parents.
