Voices Rising: From Classroom to Album & Beyond 

BRONX, N.Y. - EntSun -- Acclaimed artist and activist Keris Lové will join forces with P.S. 106 in Parkchester to present "Voices Rising: From Classroom to Album & Beyond," a celebration of creativity, education, and empowerment through poetry.

As part of the school's English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum, fourth-grade students spent the first part of the school year engaged in an in-depth poetry module. To deepen their connection between classroom learning and real-world application, Keris Lové will speak to the students about the power of "Artivism" — the intersection of art and activism — and what it means to be a songwriter and storyteller in today's world.

Inspired by the students' engagement and talent, Keris launched a fourth-grade poetry contest. All fourth-grade students submitted original works, which will be evaluated based on creativity, craft, and application of skills learned through the ELA program. The June 4 assembly will recognize the top three poets  — with a special surprise in store for the grand prize winner.

Keris Lové's upcoming album will feature the grand prize-winning poem set to be released later this year. The winner will receive professional writing credit and the unforgettable opportunity to record their poem in a studio session with Keris and her team.

"This project is about more than poetry — it's about amplifying young voices and showing students how their words can carry power, purpose, and possibility," said Lové. "These kids aren't just learning about poetry — they're becoming artists."

The event, which will take place at P.S. 106, 1514 Olmstead Avenue, Bronx, NY 10462, will include performances of the winning poems, special remarks from Keris Lové, and a celebration of student creativity. A highlight of the assembly will be a short video compilation of students sharing what they learned about poetry through the in-depth module, along with their inspirations and what poetry means to them personally. This video offers a heartfelt and insightful glimpse into the minds of these young writers.
