"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant." — Anne Bradstreet (1655)
Spring, 2026 - Vol . 2, Issue #3
Welcome to the third issue of The Star Spectator for the 2025–2026 school year!
The theme of this issue is spring. A season of renewal. Of fresh starts. After months of snow and gray skies, the days are brighter, lighter, and much longer. Spring reminds us that change is inevitable and it’s something to welcome. Appreciate every moment. Endings can make room for the most remarkable things to surface.
We hope you enjoy every word of our latest issue. 🌸
