Wednesday, April 19, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon
Poet laureate to visit Sisters schools
Former Children’s Poet
Laureate Kenn Nesbitt is
scheduled to visit Sisters
Elementary School and
Sisters Middle School
on Tuesday, April 25 and
Wednesday, April 26.
Nesbitt, known for his
humorous style, will be on
hand to help students cele-
brate National Poetry Month.
Thanks to a grant from the
Sisters-based Roundhouse
Foundation, Nesbitt will
present at school assem-
blies at each school about
his writing, poetry and
publishing. He will also
host a writing workshop
for fourth- and fifth-grade
students and a publishing
workshop for sixth-grade
students.
Parents are invited to
a parent presentation on
Tuesday, April 25, at 6 p.m.
at Sisters Library.
Originally a computer
programmer from California,
Nesbitt wrote his first poem,
“Scrawny Tawny Skinner,”
in 1994 after attending a
dinner with a friend whose
4-year-old daughter did
absolutely everything she
could to get out of eating
dinner. He wrote his first
book of poems in 1997
and has since published
18 books. Most recently
he selected poems for the
anthology “One Minute
Till Bedtime: 60 Second
Poems to Send You Off to
Sleep.”
He was selected as the
Children’s Poet Laureate
2013-2015 from the Poetry
Foundation.
According to an interview
on PoetryFoundation.com,
Nesbitt says his inspiration
for his poems is primarily
“…to get kids excited about
reading. I want them to have
as much fun with books as is
humanly possible.”
Sisters Elementary School
kindergarten teachers and
administrators are hosting
Kindergarten Round-Up
on Friday, April 28, for all
incoming kindergartners
in the 2017-2018 school
year.
For the past several years
the staff at SES has hosted
this event to help families
get prepared for starting the
next chapter with their young
children. All students will
meet with the kindergarten
teachers and parents will
have a chance to hear from
the principal and other dis-
trict personnel on what their
kids’ first year of school will
look like.
“Kindergarten Round-Up
is a great way for us to begin
to get to know incoming kin-
dergarteners and have them
see our classrooms,” said
kindergarten teacher Sara
Elliott.
For families with stu-
dents who will be enter-
ing kindergarten in the
2017-2018 school year,
parents will need to stop in
or call Sisters Elementary
School at 541-549-8981 to
sign up for a time to par-
ticipate; either 8:30 a.m. or
1:30 p.m.
All students need to be
5 years of age by the begin-
ning of school and be up to
date on all of their immuni-
zations. More information on
district immunization policy
can be found at www.ssd6.
org.
