Word Up! Winners 2010

Congratulations to the WORD UP! 2010 Winners: Will Gillette (1st place), Jordan Croft (2nd place tie), and Illyshia Parker (2nd place tie).

This year's contestants got inspiration from the major themes of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, the book selected for Alabama’s first-ever state-wide Big Read. Students chose from among the following themes:

• The power of imagination


• The power of friendship


• The power of persuasion

Don't miss your chance to see these three poets perform LIVE at this year's Alabama Bound.
