Shoreham-Wading River High School junior Isabelle Scherl wowed the Board of Education and members of the community at the April 8 meeting with her recitation of “What Baking Can Do,” a poem she penned. Isabelle was commended by Director of Humanities Nicole Waldbauer for her first-place win at the school’s Poetry Out Loud competition and her subsequent move to the state competition where she was named a runner-up.

In the words of English teacher Jennifer Nazer, Isabelle is truly “a dynamic whirlwind of creative energy.”
