Every year between Christmas and New Year's, The Connection turns its pages over to the contributions of local students.
Artwork, photography, poetry, opinions, short stories, reflections, have been featured in previous issues.
We welcome contributions from public schools, private schools and students who are home schooled. Past contributions have come from children from nursery school through high school. Sometimes an art or English teacher will assign a project and submit the work of an entire class. Often, the thoughtful and emotional contribution of a teenager will reach readers on many levels.
Mail or deliver contributions by Dec. 7, to 7913 Westpark Drive, McLean, Va. 22102. E-mail to McLean@connectionnewspapers.com. For information, call 703-917-6444. Please be sure to include the student’s name, age, grade, school and town of residence along with each submission.
