What happened: The town acknowledged 16 year-old Zionsville resident Weston Clark for being named a National Student Poet. Councilman Steve Mundy said Zionsville is “honored and blessed” to have outstanding youth such as Clark. Clark read his poem “South on Main.”

What it means: Clark will be a cultural ambassador for one year. In September he visited the White House and met with First Lady Michelle Obama to receive his honor.

What’s next: Clark will embark on his goal of “preventing cultural extinction,” conducting poetry and service projects across the state in North and South Dakota. “As national student poets we are all required to do a community service project over our term of ambassadorship,” he said.
