Each year, Adam Gottlieb, poet and teaching-artist, partners with Lake Park's English Department to provide all freshman students the opportunity to explore their identity through the art of performance poetry. Adam is an experienced poet and mentor who provides a safe, constructive space for all students to grow and learn.
This year's workshops will take place October 21 through December 2. Each workshop helps students through the drafting process and performance preparation. As a teaching team, Lake Park recognized the effectiveness of his mentorship and community building, as Adam is able to quickly build rapport and trust with the students, and the students respond remarkably well to Adam and his process.
You can help us offer this value program each year by covering the cost of a workshop session for a student. The cost per student is under $5 for each session with Adam. A donation as small as $10 covers the cost for 2 students!
