Midtown's Words on Wheels

Three Midtown Academy students had a poem of theirs selected to appear on MTA buses throughout Baltimore. As part of the "Words on Wheels" program, the MTA selected 10 poems from middle school students and gave them to students from the Maryland Institute and College of Art. The MICA students designed graphic to go along with each poems, and the final results were made into posters which will be placed on city buses.

Congratulations to our Midtown poets!
