Beatnik Poetry Cafe...Can You Dig It, Man?

Everyone agreed that the "Beatnik Poetry Café" needs to be an annual event!  Our performers were out-of-this-world!  Not only did we look way cool, but our performances were unbelievably impressive. Edgar Allan Poe, William Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, Lewis Carroll, and many more poets were honored.  Special thanks goes to Olivia's and Zachary's moms for setting up our café and making the delicious hot chocolate and Chloe's, Sarah Reilly's, and Emily's moms for agreeing to bake desserts. Now here are some of our performers:
