Sophomore Shelby Griffith won first place in Wednesday’s Poetry Out Loud Competition. The upper school competition requires students to recite a poem of their choosing. Students have been practicing their recitation skills in English classes. Griffith will compete in the citywide performance against students in other DC-area high schools and will have to memorize and recite three different poems. The first runner up was freshman Dakota Turnage and the second runner up was freshman Nora Butler.
