WHEN WE TOUCHED DOWN

"When We Touched Down" is a project in which students are able to submit their own short stories for a chance for them to be included in a book that will be published and printed.

This year's story theme is: Aliens and Extraterrestrial Life

If you would like to submit your own story for review to be included in When We Touched Down, follow the guidelines below and use the submission form located at the bottom of this page to submit your draft.
