Poetry

2007 Poetry entries were written by students of Cherokee Middle School teacher Priscilla Arens.  Mrs. Arens is a veteran English teacher who is in her 28th year of teaching.  She says that she enjoys teaching because she wants to make a difference in the lives of her students. "Life is never boring with a group of seventh graders," Mrs. Arens says with a smile.
