- A message from Out of the Blue Magazine:
Kevin - Once upon a time, there was a man who was allergic to himself. Everywhere he went he would cough and sneeze and rub his eyes. But one day, his friend…
Sam - Hey, that sounds like a good story. Why don’t you submit that to the literary magazine?
Kevin - No. Anyway, his friend, who’s name was Max, said…
Sam - So WHY don’t you want to submit that to the magazine?
Kevin - Cause I said so. Max said, why don’t you wear this…
Sam - That’s kind of stupid, right? If you submitted your story to the literary magazine, hundreds of people would read it, and he would get credit for it.
Kevin - Out of the Blue needs lots of types of creative work. Some of these are stories, poetry, artwork, photographs, music, and comics.
Sam - Out of the Blue is run in room 312 by Mrs. Olsen, the English teacher on the Garnet team. Contact her for further information.
- The Outdoor Education snow tubing trip at Powder Ridge that was scheduled for today has been rescheduled to Thursday, February 7th due to the weather forecast.
