POETRY FESTIVAL
Since 1998, the Skagit River Poetry Foundation has trained teachers using professional poets to help build literacy skills in our classrooms.
During 120 days, in more than 100 classrooms and in eight school districts students have found their voices and built literacy skills with poetry.
