Jonathan Walton, published poet, author and motivational speaker, shares his incredible talent for weaving words that inspire and amaze middle and high school students and teachers participating in the 2009-2010 Fairchild Challenge.

First, Jonathan recites his original poem titled "My Release", followed by "River of Grass", specifically written for this year's performance option.

We thank Jonathan for his support of the Fairchild Challenge.

We also thank Barbara Hobbs for her support and  making Jonathan's visits happen for the past 3 years.
