Happy New Year from the Prism crew!!!

We're closing out the year with a poem about Belonging, written together by poet Cortland Gilliam and 5th graders at Frank Porter Graham Elementary. We had the joy of witnessing @corter_pounder as he engaged students in creating poetry this fall through the Rising Voices Poetry Project. We continue to be inspired by the young people in our community and hope that their perspectives bring you joy and peace in the new year. The Rising Voices Poetry Project is made possible through the support of the Town of Chapel Hill's Arts & Culture Award Program, and the Frances R. Dewing Foundation.
