Last fall, a poem by Sameehan Jadhav, a fifth-grader at Meadow Glens Elementary School in Naperville Unit District 203, was submitted to Poetic Power contest for student writers throughout the U.S. He is the son of Renu Zunjarward and Nikhil Jadhav.

His poem, titled “Our Veterans,” was selected from thousands of entries as one of the 10 best in the fourth- to sixth-grade division.

The top 10 writers in each division (grades K-3, 4-6, 7-9) are each receiving special recognition in the poetry anthology, “A Celebration of Poets.” Poems are selected for their literary merit, creativity, and social significance.
