VOLUME 5 - ISSUE 2 PATRIOT HERALD JFK Literary Magazine Club off to a Great Start! I wanted to take a minute and celebrate the amount of interest I’ve had in my literary magazine in just the two short weeks the club has been in session! We have some incredibly talented writers here at JFK! I recently received binding materials to publish the magazine, and as you can see by this photo, our members are just as excited about it as I am! These kids are already working incredibly hard to make sure that our literary magazine is a special addition to the JFK community. I want to thank all of the teachers who have helped get the word out about this project, as it is new to the school. I can already tell it’s going to be a wonderful year with an amazing group of writers. Stay tuned for more information… we will be opening up submissions for the magazine in the coming weeks. We will also be asking for teachers to submit their own writing for our “Teacher Feature” section of the magazine (these can be submitted anonymously!). Additionally, we will be holding a cover art contest once we decide on a name for the magazine! JFK Students dressed in Camouflage in Support of Troops!
