Commending Fatemeh Sima Amiri upon the occasion of winning the inaugural New York State of Poetry prize
This Senate Resolution formally commends Fatemeh Sima Amiri, a 10th-grade student from Shaker High School in Albany, for winning the inaugural New York State of Poetry prize. The bill recognizes her achievement in a program designed to engage high school students across New York in reading and writing poetry through the New York State Council on the Arts and the Teachers and Writers Collaborative. As a procedural measure, the resolution does not alter laws or budgets but instead honors Amiri and directs that a copy of the document be sent to her.
