South Windsor High School’s Literary Magazine, The Mind’s Eye, accepts creative work submissions from all high school students. At the end of each school year, the magazine compiles student work to create a diverse and engaging product.
The club holds meetings frequently, where members share their artwork and writing ideas. Using the ideas shared, students give feedback on others’ creative works before publishing them in the magazine.
Club member Hailey Deptula is a senior at South Windsor High School and has been an active member of Mind’s Eye for 4 years.
“I joined the club freshman year. The group and Mrs. Flachsbart (club advisor) have always been so inclusive and fun to be around. The energy and atmosphere of meetings are something I look forward to.”
A benefit of being a part of the magazine is students become more involved in their school community and feel more comfortable sharing their work. Mind’s Eye is a place where students are able to slow down and submit their best quality work. It also fosters a positive relationship with art and writing.
“Mind’s Eye is a great creative outlet for submitting any art you create. If you are a writer, artist, or photographer, the Magazine can challenge you to produce a different type of media for the magazine, or just allow you a space to share your work,” Deptula told The Prowl.
In an interview with The Bobcat Prowl, club advisor, Amanda Flachsbart explained her purposes behind creating Mind’s Eye.
Flachsbart believes that all students have the potential to be creative. Mind’s Eye was started to allow students a safe environment where they can express this creativity freely.
Currently, the club is accepting work from all students, not just club members, in order to give all students a voice.
“We want all students to be represented,” Flachsbart told The Prowl.
Mind’s Eye is a growing community at South Windsor High School, full of students eager to share their creativity.
