Second grader Roma Allen was recognized for her writing at Monday's meeting of the Wrangell Public School Board. A teacher and counselor helped Allen publish her poem "We Are Diamonds" in this year's edition of the Young Poets Collection, which puts out the work of primarily elementary school students. In recognition of this accomplishment, the young poet was presented with a framed copy of her verse, appropriately decorated with faux diamonds. "We thought it suited the poem," remarked Deidre Jenson, principal of Evergreen Elementary School.
