Another Win for Pasadena ISD Fine Arts Program: Seven Student Poems on Display at Houston Symphony
Posted on 04/05/2014

Pasadena ISD Fine Arts program is celebrating another win after seven students were selected to have their Haiku poems on display at the Houston Symphony.

Haiku is a Japanese poem, consisting of 17syllables, in three lines of five, which traditionally evokes images of the natural world.

Out of 200 submissions, Pasadena ISD students accounted for seven out of ten Haikus selected to be displayed at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in the fall and later the Houston Symphony in the spring.  

“Thank you to all of the teachers who worked with students in preparation for the Explorer Concert and for sharing some of their haikus with us,” Linda Fletcher, director of Fine Arts said. “We are so proud of all the talented students here at Pasadena ISD.”

Students and parents are encouraged to stop by the Houston Symphony, located at 615 Louisianan St. to see the exhibit.

Here are the winners:

  • Perla Zuniga, grade 8, Beverly Hills Intermediate
