Did you know that there is a Poetry/Spoken Word group at Lehi Junior High? The Poetry/Spoken Word group is a group of students who are all excited about the art of Poetry! The Poetry/Spoken Word group is a place where poets, rappers, and lyricists can hone their craft with other artists in a supportive and nurturing environment.  Students can find their voice through reading, writing, and performing poetry.  If this sounds interesting to you, scan the QR code on one of the posters in the school hallways to sign up. Talk with Mr. Phillips, Ms. Price, Ms. Williams, or your English teacher for more information.
