FLVS Corkboard: October Highlights

It’s October and there’s a bushel of activities we know you’ll FALL in love with!

First, we want to let you know that the deadline for Fall 2016 Virge Literary Magazine submissions has been extended. Submit your original artwork, photography, and/or writing entries by October 7, 2016 to be considered for publication.

The theme for this edition is Muse (to consider something thoughtfully; a person who is a source of artistic inspiration). Find more details and download a publication form here.

If you’re looking for other ways to connect with classmates, we have a few more suggestions! Start by viewing our upcoming events in the student resources section of our website. Our clubs page also includes a calendar of upcoming dates and opportunities for specific groups.

National Hispanic Heritage Month

Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

This week, the FLVS SNAP Club and the Spanish Honor Society are proud to present a “Hispanic Heritage Month Virtual Festival!”

The festival will be held on Thursday, October 6, 2016 at 7pm Monday, October 17, 2016 at 7pm.  Join FLVS for music and celebration here.

Please note the new date for this event (rescheduled due to Hurricane Matthew). 

¡ESTA FIESTA VA A SER GRANDE!
