Kudos to Karaina!!
Here's a video from Karaina Perkins's Poetry Out Loud competition.
Karaina was to represent Riverside County at the statewide competition prior to its cancellation in March. She made it as a finalist and therefore, was scored on a third recitation. Although she did not win the state competition, she was told that she scored at the top. They did not share actual placements with the finalists.
I am so proud of Karaina and all her hard work she has put into the competition for the past three years.
Good news, she is a junior! Next year, here we come!
