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.

Tis' the season for embracing those you love. Take the opportunity to embrace a love-centric prompt for the month of February, whilst you deal with the ins and outs, turmoils, and benefits of all things romantic this time of year.
Love is in the Air. Inspired by the fairy tale ideal of love at first sight, submit photography or artwork capturing connections, a place where you feel at home, an object that became immediately important to you, or someone in your life you couldn’t picture living without.
Lovesick. This time of year, we all feel a little lovesick, whether from longing, being forced to encounter too much PDA, or the pressures of devising the perfect gift. Even Cupid can get tired this time of year. Get creative with the inspiration of a disgruntled Cupid, fed up with all this love stuff.
It is the small things in life. Write a story or poem that encapsulates an affinity or a new appreciation for something small in life, like a glass of water after a long day, stepping on a perfectly crisp leaf, or when the DVD logo perfectly fits into the corner of your screen.
