Important Announcement

Shadow a student day. Some like to refer to it as “Stalk a Student Day”. But I consider it as a fun* time for parents to live the “school-kid dream”. In otherwords, I think “Shadow a Student Day” is a great day. Remember, this coming Tuesday is the day, so prepare to be stal…erhmmm…”shadowed” by your parents.

found by lit mag staffer Taylor W.

"Merrowvista" by Tyler L.

The long dusty road that led to fun
Was a winding one under the sun
Once there we got our group
With really nice leaders to boot

The first day there we climbed the wedge
Later on we found the cabins
And learned the dinner route

Day two was fun with an option block
Up the mountain we went for a walk
Breathtaking views at the top

We did team building on the elements
They were very hard
Involvement was key
Now we were on to day three

Up nice and early ready for fun
Off to build bridges
Blindfolded none the less

Bus rides away back to school
Merrowvista was very cool.

new year...new challenge!

With the dawn of a new September (actually, October, but that's ok) the Lit Mag is starting up again! We are welcoming back all our staff members and new rookies, too. We're still recruiting, so if you show up at a meeting, you're more than welcome. :)

Literary people often engage in word games, so we thought we'd start off this year with a challenge. We're going to list a bunch of words, and it's your job to create a poem or paragraph or piece of art involving all these words. By you, we mean anyone who reads this blogs: students, teachers, parents, and anyone else in the CMS community. Submissions should be emailed to cmslitmag@gmail.com, and in by Halloween. (hint: maybe a spooky theme?) We will publish some selected work on the blog. Happy creating!

Word List:
-jack 'o' lantern
-specter
-thrill
-shadow
-nocturnal
-feline
-luminous
-masquerade
-blood-curdling
-sweet

Hehe. Have fun, no pressure :)
