RiverLink is inviting students in grades kindergarten through 12th grade to submit are and poetry about our local rivers in its annual Voices of the River program.
RiverLink press release:
RiverLink’s annual program, Voices of the River, would like to invite all students (K-12) of the French Broad Watershed to participate in creating art and poetry based on our local rivers. Participants are invited to describe in art and words what they see, feel, smell, hear, and think when near the river.
Submissions will be displayed in a month-long exhibit and judged by local artist and poets. Winners will be awarded prizes from various local sponsors.
Not only are we looking for beautiful art and poetry from our students, we are also looking for donations. Any help is welcome, we are asking for in-kind donations for the reception, gift certificates for prizes, as well as promotional funds. All donors will be given recognition during our reception/awards ceremony at AB Tech’s Holly Library on April 18.

Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
