The Impressions Club will produce and publish the Impressions Magazine. Entries include poetry, fiction, essays, photography, art work, music, and video. The staff reads student submissions, and selects those that will appear in the magazine. Layout editors are needed to produce the magazine. Contests in each category are held throughout the year.
Submissions are welcomed anytime. The magazine is compiled and edited in March for April distribution.
