ABOUT THE MAGAZINE IN OUR OWN WORDS
Student Judges :
Carlos Rosario School ' s literary arts magazine is an original collection of adult basic education student writing and art . This collection came out of an initiative to increase student reading and access to high interest material in 2008 . Our annual publication is produced by a student designer with staff support . This year , the student was Katie Kamara , from Australia , who is a graphic designer , former GED and Nurse Aide student .

All students are encouraged to submit their best work through a school-wide multilingual campaign , which results in over 300 submissions annually ! After rounds of student editor reviews , the student graphic designer collaborates with staff advisers on all aspects of production , including layout , design , promotion , and distribution . We are proud of our In Our Own Words for its contribution to our community of adult learners and for capturing the multicultural adult learner perspective and pride .
