We could be more thrilled: the Poetry Foundation has granted $10,000 is scholarship grants to Hands On Stanzas for residencies in underserved Chicago communities.
The scholarships will allow us to serve an additional 338 Chicago Public School students this year. This grant allows us to ensure that creative literacy is available in our community wherever it is needed.
Thank you, Poetry Foundation!
