" ...in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." Benjamin Franklin wrote these now famous words in a letter to M. Leroy, 1789.

The Wooster School Library web site has links to state and federal on-line tax forms! Hope this makes the last minute crunch a little easier.

SAT Question of the Day

Who's Who and What's What from the New York Times

Welcome to Poetry 180. Poetry can and should be an important part of our daily lives. Poems can inspire and make us think about what it means to be a member of the human race. By just spending a few minutes reading a poem each day, new worlds can be revealed.

Poetry 180 is designed to make it easy for students to hear or read a poem on each of the 180 days of the school year. I have selected the poems you will find here with high school students in mind. They are intended to be listened to, and I suggest that all members of the school community be included as readers. A great time for the readings would be following the end of daily announcements over the public address system.

Listening to poetry can encourage students and other learners to become members of the circle of readers for whom poetry is a vital source of pleasure. I hope Poetry 180 becomes an important and enriching part of the school day.
