Now That The Remaining Jack-O’-Lanterns Have Turned Mushy And Stores Are Putting Leftover Halloween Candy On Sale

When jack-o’-lanterns get mushy wrinkle-faces with blackened touches of mold, when birds or rodents have nibbled them, when gnats hover over the last of the festive squashes --that’s when to revisit the month-long obsession with creepiness called Halloween season. Skeletons, ghosts, and creepy clowns will haunt this issue.

We’ll also look into other creative activity in Nelson-land.

This micro-magazine is all about documenting, preserving, and publicizing student creativity. How about ~your~ creativity?

 Especially if you’ve made something that could be called creative for a class or if you make art at home, you could send it in for possible publication here in exPRESSion. It doesn’t ~all~ have to be stuff made during art or photography classes. Make a clear, usable photo of your creation/s and e-mail your your stuff to Mr. Ward (the high school art teacher) with “publish me” in the subject field.

Original creative writing is welcome too. Maybe you’ve seen an image here and had poetic thoughts. Made a poem? A rap? Send ‘em. Got a friend who draws, paints, writes rap lyrics? Let ‘em know we’re here.
