English 10 students analyzed the poem September Names by Katie Kemple, sent questions to the author, received a video response, and wrote their own name poems!

Kemple is a poet based in Southern California. Her poems have appeared in or are forthcoming from Beloit Poetry Journal, Ploughshares, and The South Carolina Review. Her manuscript won the 2025 Iron Horse Literary Review chapbook competition and is due out in December (2025). Kemple is the recipient of poetry scholarships to La Romita Art School (Italy, 2025) and Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing (2024).

Sophomores sent questions about crafting poetry and writing about their own name poems to Katie Kemple. She responded with a personalized video addressing student questions, providing writing advice, encouraging students to enjoy life, nature, and share their lived experiences.

According to their teacher, Mrs. Lage, students wrote beautiful poems using figurative language and literary elements that explored their identity as well as what their names mean to them.

West Fork sophomores thank Katie Kemple for her time and insight!

📸 Share Your Summer Fun Photos for the Yearbook!

Dear West Fork Students and Parents (Middle School and High School),

The yearbook staff is putting together a “Summer Fun” page, and we’d love to feature you! ☀️

We’re looking for photos of students and their friends enjoying their summer — whether it’s at the lake, a concert, a ballgame, on vacation, or just doing the hobbies you love.

Please email your favorite summer photos to eric.burt@westforkschool.org
.
Be sure to include the student’s name and grade so we can label photos correctly.

We can’t wait to showcase all the awesome things our Warhawks did this summer!

Thanks for helping us make this year’s yearbook one to remember.
Mr. Burt
West Fork Yearbook Advisor
