Sharon Babbs, fifth-grade teacher at Louise Luxford Elementary, entered her students in a poetry contest. Six of her students were chosen for publication in the 2013 Edition of the Young American Poetry Digest. The poems were selected by a panel of educators who evaluated the overall quality of the poem based on the student’s age and grade level determined by: creativity, age-appropriate language, sensory/figurative images, structure and poetic techniques.
