Poetry Out Loud
HHS students are invited to participate in Poetry Out Loud, a national poetry recitation competition. The contest will be sponsored and run by the Hopkinton Center for the Arts. Any student who is interested needs to memorize and recite two poems from the Poetry Out Loud webpage (poetryoutloud.org), and the winner will move on to the state semifinals.
Please inform Mr. Frey either via email or in A209 by January 8th if you wish to compete! He can also help with poem selection if you need some help.
The competition will be on Thursday, January 16th at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts.
Cool Science
Cool Science is a free and public art competition held each fall for all K-12 artists. Cool Science is a collaboration between the UMass Lowell, UMass Boston, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, University of Kansas, and Kansas City Art Institute. In 2019, Cool Science received a National Science Foundation grant that helped it expand the project beyond Massachusetts to Kansas, Missouri, and Southern New Hampshire. However, students from any location around the world are welcome to participate.
Challenge Questions
This year, we are asking young artists to answer one of the following challenge questions with a visual work of art:
1) What will your community look like when we are not using fossil fuels for energy in 20-30 years?
2) What jobs will be needed to adapt to more extreme weather?
3) How can plants and animals adapt to a warmer ocean?
Competition Winners
During this winter, we will select the best entries for display on public buses in Massachusetts and Kansas in 2024. The honorees will be recognized at our art exhibit celebrations next year.
