The Final Class, Farewell (Class 11)

Dec 2/2016

This was the final class of the year, and was our award ceremony for our grantees; Hamilton Youth Poets, and Thrive Group. Additionally, the grant winners from last semester’s course, Living Rock and Bayan Community Services, appeared to let the class know how the grant was used. It was already a very emotional class; however, it was made even more emotional by three surprise performances by HYP. Three of the Poets from HYP gave three very moving and emotional performances, demonstrating to the class what slam poetry is, and just how captivating the art can be. With that, I bid you farewell. It has been a wonderful term, and an absolute pleasure working with the LGF as a Student Ambassador. Thank you again for the wonderful opportunity, this is Matthew Parliament, signing off.
