reading. JGHS’s third annual poetry reading will take place in the choir room from 6-8 p.m. The poetry reading will feature student poets reading their own individual writings and faculty members, former students and former Aerial editors reading their own poetry as the special guest

poets. The reading is open to the public. Aerial advisor, Paul Hernandez said, “We have a variety of poetry and literary styles ranging from slam poetry to group poems to former Aerial editor Rahnee Patrick reading her award winning short story from IUSB. I know it will be entertaining as well as a learning experience for everyone involved. I would urge the community to attend this unique experience for a high school setting.” The poetry reading is being sponsored by the JGHS Creative Writing classes and admission is free. The student poets will mainly be reading their poetry written for the 1996 JGHS literary magazine Aerial, which was recently ranked as the best in the state of Indiana. The new 1996 Aerial, “Into The Light,” will be available for sale and the 120 page magazine is $5.00 and features the work of 80 of JGHS students. Also on display will be the children’s books written and designed with artwork, done by each of the Creative Writing high school students in collaboration with an elementary student from North Liberty in Mrs. Amy Weiss or Ms. Dawn Mark’s class.
