Towson resident and Carver Center student Joey Reisberg has been appointed to the National Student Poets Program after a ceremony with First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House.
“Together, these talented students are living, breathing proof of the power of poetry to transform young people’s lives” Obama said at the ceremony. “I have just one request to our student poets when you all leave here today: I want you to go out there and share your gifts with others. Show other young people the power of taking risks and opening yourself up to the world…make sure the folks in your communities understand why it is so vitally important to have the arts in our schools.”
