Poietry finals

Congratulations to Patricia H. from Manchester Township High School (MTHS) who participated in the NJ Poetry Outloud Region 3 Competition at Ocean County College.

During the competition, each champion recited a poem during three separate rounds. Those selections can be found on the Poetry Outloud website. Patty recited her selection of three poems including her moving rendition of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "The Arrow and the Song." Although the audience seating was very limited this year, she was cheered on by several AP Literature classmates as well as her family members.

This year's Region 3 Competition included 12 champions from Monmouth, Middlesex, and Ocean Counties. MTHS was 1 of 2 Ocean County schools participating (the other was OCTVS PAA). Patricia was the MTHS Champion who proudly represented the Manchester Township School District in this competition. Way to live out our school district motto, Excellence by Example!
