World Poetry Day is a time to appreciate and support poets and poetry around the world. World Poetry, which is observed on March 21st, is one of the UN Observances that the Sint Maarten National Commission for UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Culture, and Scientific Organizations) supports, and this year the Readers are Leaders Board is holding a poetry day to commemorate this international day.
The Readers are Leaders program, which is coordinated by the Rotary Club of St. Martin Sunrise and the Philipsburg Jubilee Library promotes literacy by encouraging high school students to read at least one book per month, and encourages them to express themselves through various literary and art forms.
