During the 2008-2009 school year, library classes in grades 3-6 wrote haikus and entered them in a poetry-writing contest. 28 Yates students were selected to have their poems published in a book of poetry. The following students have poems published in Young American Poetry Digest; the library owns a copy of the book and it is available for check-out. Congratulations to our published authors!
