=//Welcome to the AHS Poetry Slam Wiki...//= This is a shared space for a group interest that connects your [|AHS Media Center], classroom & home workstations utilizing online tools and resources within a wiki that members can create and build.

Poetry Slam is not an official school club; it is an infrequent gathering of =//creative, expressive people//= =//interested in writing and performing poetry.//=


 * A little AHS history...**

The first //Poetry Slam!// at AHS was hosted by //[|The Lost Chapter]// (with encouragement from Mrs. B. Hasty's Friday //Writer's Group//) on the evening of Wednesday, February 6, 2008 from 7-9 PM.

Word spread about the fun of that event from the twenty participants, along with requests for an additional //Poetry Slam!// event.
