From the Secretary

Here is our last issue of the 2023-2024 school year! How fast this school year has been! 

We have welcomed three new members this year: Raul, Charlie, and Milo. They have created some awesome fictional stories that allow the reader to enter the world of their characters! Mason and Isaiah have published their last stories for the Creative Club as they are moving on to college next year.

Sincerely,

Enzo De Angelis
