Freshman Taya Apalkova and sophomores Christen Fessler and Mary Lu Lacey will have their original, composed poems published in Appelley Publishing’s “Rising Stars 2023 Collection” as their poems are among the finalists in the National Student Poetry Contest!  In April, Appelley Publishing will notify the final winning poets, who will receive cash prizes for their winning entries.  We celebrate these MND  young writers who are officially published authors, and await news of the final contest results!
