[NFBP-Talk] FW: NFB of NJ Catch the Rhyme! Poetry Webinar for Blind Kids & Friends, April 21st 7 pm EDT

[Joseph Drenth]

On behalf of Monique A. Coleman and the NFB of New Jersey:

 


Greetings Friends,


In celebration of National Poetry Month, join Young Ant and other special guests for a youth poetry/spoken word webinar on April 21 from 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT! 


We will share rhythmic readings of poems from Hip Hop Speaks to Children: A Celebration of Poems with a Beat. Also, Young Ant, whose song "Stick Walk" is an anthem for the white cane, will talk about her creative process for writing rhymes.  

We will also feature poems written by kids! 
Do you know a kid between the ages of 5-16 who has a poem to share? They can submit a poem for us to read, or they can send a video of themselves reading the poem. Each person who submits a poem that meets the guidelines will get a prize!
For more info and to submit a poem, email  <mailto:info at vistaseducation.com> info at vistaseducation.com.

To register for this free event go to:  <https://bit.ly/2Q5SlUr> https://bit.ly/2Q5SlUr. 

Please feel free to share this event with others who may be interested!
 
Hosted by Eyes Like Mine & VISTAS Education Partners
