The debut reception will be April 19, 2016 at Reformation Lutheran Church at 3:30 pm. Music and refreshments will be provided.
Don't miss an opportunity to be published in high school! The contest is open to all 9th - 12th grade students from Alexander County, regardless of public, private, boarding, or home school status.

Hope to see your work in the 2016 Alexander Muse!
