Booker T. prepares for Poetry Night

Booker T. prepares for Poetry Night
National Poetry Month is a celebration of poetry first introduced in 1996, as a way to increase awareness and appreciation of literary art in the United States. Every March, since 2001, Booker T. students have studied the art of poetry and the various forms that interest them. Their month long preparation and work culminates into a wonderful evening full of great poems. This year's Poetry Night will be held Friday, May 7, 2010 starting at 6:30 p.m. All are welcomed!
Our Mission
The Booker T. Washington Learning Center’s mission is to break the cycle of inadequate education, poverty and despair, which pervades East Harlem, while working to maintain a viable and hopeful community.

What People Are Saying...

"I can honestly say that if it wasn't for the pre-school, after-school, L.E.A.P. program and college prep classes here at Booker T., I probably would not be standing here before you today. Booker T. has been my extended family for almost 18 years now. Pre-school was my beginning at Booker T. I still have memories of the pre-school classic "The World is a Rainbow" and Ms. Helen's "Blue Boy". I have vivid memories of my childhood at Booker T. So many faces, so much love for one another."
