Congratulations to Will and Emma!

Eleven students competed in the state finals for Poetry Out Loud that is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts. The Maine Arts Commission plans and implement the regional and state finals.

The exciting event took place at the beautiful Waterville Opera House in front of a very large audience including First Lady Karen Baldacci.

Bangor High School senior William Whitham was the winner and Messalonskee High School student Emma Bailey was the runner-up.

William travels to Washington, DC to compete on the national level and a chance to win a scholarship for $20,000. This is Will’s second time traveling to the finals. Congratulations to all the participants and best of luck to Will!
