Purpose
Purpose
The Flame has prided itself on being an outlet and encouraging the expression of the artistic and literary talent of Jim Thorpe's student body. The Flame accepts poetry, descriptive essays, short stories, photography, digital art, and hand-drawn art created by students, to be uploaded to the website and published in our print edition.
What We've Done
What We've Done
The magazine was born in 2005 when several students approached our principal, Mr. Thomas Lesisko, with the desire to begin a poetry magazine. With no budget the first year, The Flame was produced on a color printer and hand-assembled by members of the staff. The Flame was published every school year until 2019. From 2020 to present, The Flame moved to an online publication. This year, it is our goal to produce a print magazine again.

Seasons of Change Option
The leaves changing colors and falling off the trees show a change in the weather - Fall is approaching!
