Power of the Pen

We love to write!

in class

The Power of the Pen is a program in which our Middle School students compete against other schools in writing competitions. It also signifies our love of putting our thoughts on paper, whether we are participating in various writing contests locally and regionally, penning letters to other students around the world, creating prayers to share, dreaming up stories for our Kindergarten buddies, enjoying weekly creative writing sessions every Wednesday after school, or joining with our Christ the King parishioners to write about the Good News, Liturgical celebrations and our Catholic faith. We love to write!

Poems of Good News

We will regularly publish poems written by our Christ the King students as well as those who participate in our Christ the King Parish Power of the Pen Poetry Group in which we are following the Liturigical Year to write Poems of Good News.

Green is our Gold by Chase Benham (Grade 7) and published in the Toledo Blade, 2/6/2012.

Green as an emerald

our future time shall be.

Nature's beauty shall prosper

from sea to shining sea.

From the Appalachian mountains

to the giant redwoods grown,

on the coast, waves will shimmer

and roll on rocky shoals.

Nature's inner beauty

is as pure as precious gold.

In America's future,
