Senior Russhaun Johnson described his Movement 515 family as a “beautiful movement filled with supportive and great poets.” Johnson has been in Movement 515 since he was in 7th grade at Warren G. Harding Middle School. He’s been off and on with Movement 515, but Movement 515 is where his heart is.
Madison Cox has been in Movement 515 since her sophmore year of high school. Madison is now a senior here at North High. She has two favorite pieces she wrote, “Daddy Issues, or the one for my little sister.” Madison sure has a way with words.
Workshops are every Tuesday at their home school and on Thursdays at the Des Moines Social Club downtown. In workshop they do activities where they complete the sentence. For example, I am… “the definition of beautiful” Madison Cox.
Share the mic is their first performance this school year, it will be October 16th at Sheslow Auditorium near Drake. Get ready to snap your fingers. ” The enviornment at a slam is intense but we’re there to show support and love. We all want our schools to win, to hold the title, to win the golden boombox.” Madison Cox.
Movement 515 is very diverse there’s groups of kids from five different schools : East , Hoover, Lincoln, Roosevelt and North. Here at North the mentor is Melissa Daniels. If you would like to join Movement 515 or just see what they go see Mrs. Daniels is in the Red hall room 2423.
in 2011 Emily Lang and Kristopher Rollins came up with the idea of Movement 515 to let high school students speak their mind, talk about things close to home, stand up for what they believe in and become a family who they can count on.
