The Slam is the culminating event of Boston Scores’ fall Power of Poetry season for our Elementary School teams. The theme of our 2023 Poetry Slam is Time, inspired by suggestions from our coach-mentors and our 25th anniversary year!
Students spend the fall season working with their teammates and coach-mentors to create a poem to share at this team performance event.
Participating elementary schools include:

After the fall Poetry Slam team performance, Writing Coaches at every Scores partner school select two students to perform an individual poem at our annual spring Poets’ Banquet.
Students participate in one-on-one workshops with a dedicated writing coach over two months to prepare a single composition for performance at the Banquet and compete for the opportunity to become the Poet-Athlete of the Year!
There are many ways you can support Poetry Slam and the Poet’s Banquet! Volunteers help with set up, event registration, as judges and more. Contact Development Associate Colette Anton if you are interested in volunteering at either event!
