MCS Students Attend LitCon 2015

On Saturday, March 7th, several MCS High School students went to Woodstock Day School with me to attend the 3rd annual Lit Con.  


What is Lit Con? Lit Con is an exciting and edgy convention that draws students together from the Hudson Valley and beyond for a day of literature and literary dialogue.  Readings, storytelling, spoken word poetry, and free samples of top youth literary journals are only the tip of the iceberg at this half day festival of literature. 






We listened to the poetry, our own Julian Rauter who had a piece accepted into the Battering Ram read his magnificent poem,and I read one of Sabrina's poems.  The writing was inspiring, dramatic, and beautiful.  We had a great time seeing the talent of the students of the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Valley.

We look forward to going next year and hope to have more students have their work accepted into the Battering Ram at Woodstock Day School.
