The 2016-2017 Literary and Art Magazine staff has worked perilously to compile the magazine’s content for this year, and submissions are now open for any student who wishes to showcase their writing, photography or art.

Submissions can be turned into your English teacher or directly to Room 21. The deadline for submissions is today.

“I’m super excited to get this magazine started,” senior Savanna Walker said. “We’ve been working really hard on it, and I’m excited to see how it turns out.”
