Through this endeavor, we aim not only to honor the accomplishments of our students but also to inspire and enrich the entire community. By sharing their written works and artistic creations, we foster a collective appreciation for the power of the written word and the boundless potential of the imagination.
Let us celebrate these young authors and artists, who bravely put pen to paper and brush to canvas, for they hold the key to the future of creative expression. May their voices be heard, their stories be told, and their visions be shared, so that all may find joy and inspiration in their work.
For as Henry David Thoreau wrote,
"The world is but a canvas to our imagination".

“the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.
That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse.
What will your verse be?”
