Fifth graders at Lee Road Elementary School made introspective observations to craft personalized poems that answer the question, "Who am I?"

Students in Ms. Vrachnas's class began with their first and last name and pondered what personal traits and interests could fit between them. Fifth graders described their family, favorite foods, animals and subjects and their unique aspirations in short-form poetry. Completing the spotlight on themselves, students colored in photos of themselves, making for a bright and informative display for all Lee Road students.

Alyssa Tufariello, Frankie Noonan, Antonio Ferri, Nafsika Hrisikopoulos responded to the prompt, Lee Road fifth graders Averie Santo, Landon Caraballo, Savannah Sharpe and John Maddalena created self-portraits and described themselves through poetry.
