Congrats to the GISH Poetry Club for their history-making performance at the All Writes Reserved Youth Spoken Word Festival!

The Islanders placed 1st in one of the preliminary rounds and second in another round. We love to see our students showcase their talent!

My incredible poetry students had so much fun sharing poems and listening to Matt Mason the other night. So glad our state poet was able to visit our school and share his expertise with our students.

Love my new bookmark. My students know me so well.

The power of student poetry.

Had the pleasure of taking students to hear the US Poet Laureate @adalimon read her poems. The students were in awe.

Fundraising is never easy. So proud of my daughter’s initiative and creativity. These pet pictures that she’s painting for $10 to save up for a trip to London are so cute! I’m curious - what fundraisers have you had success with? @chickensrevenge

[Elizabeth Butters @MrsBButters]

It is AP exam time. Wishing all my students the best of luck. @GIPublicSchools

Shout out to Ivy for earning the Honorable Mention award for the “Tribute to the Rescuers” essay contest. 👏 I love having my students participate in this contest each year. @IHENEORG @GIPublicSchools

[Elizabeth Butters @MrsBButters]

Our very own Analee represented GI as a showcase poet at finals! ❤️ Nothing like a poetry slam to make you feel good. So much support & love for the brave poets. We clapped and shouted till we lost our voices. @GIPublicSchools @GISH_Islanders @AllWrites_Poets

[Elizabeth Butters @MrsBButters]

So proud of these poets who performed at the All Writes Reserved Poetry Festival in Omaha last week. It’s hard to get up & perform in front of others, but all the poets support each other. It’s uplifting to see. ❤️ @GIPublicSchools @GISH_Islanders @AllWrites_Poets

[Elizabeth Butters @MrsBButters]

So proud of these poets. They did a wonderful job at the All Writes Reserved Poetry Festival in Lincoln. ❤️ @GIPublicSchools @GISH_Islanders @AllWrites_Poets
