NCPS MEMBERS wishing to post in “Kudos” or “Forum” in the newsletter should send the information to the corresponding secretary (see page 10) before the deadline (see page 12). Next deadline: July 1. 1 President’s Message by Sue Farlow Sigh. I have this love/hate relationship with my computers. It’s like the poem my mother used to recite to me when I was a little girl. She couldn’t have been talking about me! “There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good she was very very good But when she was bad she was horrid.” That’s the way my computers work! This message is late, but thank goodness Jo can work magic. Now – here’s what I scribbled down that was lost: “If winter comes can spring be far behind?” Percy B. Shelley sounded as hopeful as I am that spring will be here soon, Unfortunately, this past week, we were in the deepest, darkest throes of winter with five inches of snow on the pasture. The dogs and the cows had a good time. I think I am having mixed feelings because this is my last President’s Message. I have truly loved every minute of the past two years. However, I am VERY GLAD that Tony Abbott will be taking over as president at the May meeting. He will bring a lot of enthusiasm, energy and experience to the board. I am looking forward to working with him. I am also thrilled that Susan Sharp is our new Pinesong dedicatee. She is an accomplished poet who creates her own books. I am proud to call her my friend. I am looking forward, as always, to the May meeting. I am impressed with the student and adult winners. I am proud of our own Bill Griffin as Poet Laureate winner. The students show a maturity of voice not often found in the young. Do you remember your first poem? I remember mine. I was eight years old and couldn’t decide if I wanted to be a poet or an actress. My mother put it on the refrigerator: “I have a little cat Who is very very sweet But she is also very fat Because all she does is eat.” In the classic movie, “Dead Poet’s Society, Mr. Keating tells his students on Friday he wants an original poem by Monday. One student got up and recited: “The cat Sat on The mat” As the classroom erupted with laughter, Mr. Keating silenced them. He said it was ok for poems to be short, but not ordinary. I leave you with this – don’t let your poems be ordinary. The beauty of the written word is to say the same old thing in a different way. Thank you to the board, committee chairs and members for the past two years. In the immortal words (I heard them myself!) of Eric Clapton in one of his first concerts after his son Conner died, “It’s a miracle that you’re here, it’s a miracle that I’m here and I thank God for both” That has become my mantra. Thank you. Sue Farlow 2 FRAGMENTS OF FOREVER By C. Pleasants York Membership Co-Chair It was a tall mahogany glass-front secretary with wooden curlicues and scrolls on the top and a myriad of tiny drawers – drawers of mystery, drawers of possibility. The desk stood against the wall in the parlor of the home of my grandparents at 401 Crawford Street in Monroe. Years later, the secretary was a cherished possession in the living room of my own home, a link to my grandparents, Junius Stitt Stearns, owner of a contracting company and his wife Ethel, a Methodist Sunday school teacher. When a water pipe in the Victorian claw-foot tub upstairs in my home broke and flooded the downstairs, the secretary was water damaged. Sorrowfully, I gave up the ruined bits, but I saved the drawers and turned them into memory boxes. Memory boxes are like poems. No two are exactly alike because each is a product of different sequestered, boxed-up memories and bits of remembrances, the things of love and laughter echoing through the years. Memory boxes contain treasured keepsakes and tiny pieces of ephemera, sepia-toned photographs, scraps of lace, buttons, broken jewelry, Schrenschnitte. I look at these bits of time past and compare them to the poems I write. I remember all the times I have written myself out of loneliness, boxing up my thoughts and setting them aside. As poets, how often do we use poems to compensate, to clarify, to justify? How many poems that we write are our way of holding on to memories a forever away, of boxing up our thoughts into a little miracle of lines and spaces? Welcome, New Members, to this world of remembrance. JENNY WARD ANGYAL ANN PORZIO LEWIS CLAIRE A.

  • November, 2019
    N​ CETA Notes November, 2019 Fall Conference Review NCETA hosted its Annual Fall Conference, Literacy in the 21st Century, Oct. 11-12 in Charlotte, NC. The ​ ​ conference opened with a screening of Truth Underground, a documentary about three spoken word ​ ​ poets, followed by a panel discussion featuring poet CJ Suitt and filmmaker Gerret Werner. On Saturday, session presenters shared strategies to amplify student voice in the classroom, create a culturally representative pedagogy, and foster creativity and collaboration in our students. Keynote speaker Donovan Livingston shared the importance of disrupting our practices as educators to keep students at the forefront of our classrooms. Our Outstanding Teachers NCETA recognized Dr. Kerry Martinez, kindergarten teacher at Hunter Elementary School in Raleigh, ​ ​ as its Outstanding Literacy Teacher at its 2019 Conference, honoring her passion, dedication, and insistence that “Literacy happens in all teachable moments throughout the day, providing students ​ 1 with the perspective that literacy enhances who they are as friends, thinkers, and learners,” in the words of her principal, Briana Pelton. Former Hunter PTA President Dr. Kelly Morris Roberts, in her nomination of Dr. Martinez, described how “Kerry has a knack for making those little wiggly pails, those vessels for learning that burst into ​ her door each day, just able to hold lots more and do lots more than they could when they entered in September.” Dr. Roberts further describes Dr. Martinez’s gift for building capacity in her students: In her firm, fair, and friendly way, she expects great things from each one of her students, and to hear her parents talk, she gets it.
