The 4th Grade visits Montegomery Botanical Garden
O , Miami
By Ceci Mestre '21, Senior President o f the National English Honor Society
The National English Honor Society collaborated with O, Miami to organize the project "Bus Stops," as part o f their annual O, Miami Poetry Festival. Students from the Primary and Intermediate schools were asked to create Zip Code poems. These are poems in which your zip code determines the number ofwords in each line ofthe poem. The poems by Ella Wester '28, Isla Knott '28, Emiliana Macedo '27
and Audrey Mas '32 were selected to replace bus stop advertisements throughout Coconut Grove. This project aims to expose people to poetry while by "taking over" a venue that is used to sell things to people. We hope that by replacing the advertisements, the poems will help the community to appreciate the wonder of the Grove, as seen through the eyes o f young students. This project was coordinated by O, Miami with the help of Ceci Mestre 21 and Mrs. Azan.
