Inkwell Literary-Art Magazine Currently Inviting Student Submissions - Calling all creative Wolf Pack students! Start off the new year by sharing your art and writing with our West Hills community. Any student may submit original work to be considered for Inkwell, our school's annually published literary-art magazine. The deadline is Friday, March 8th, but you can submit work now. Check out the digital version of last year’s Inkwell for inspiration!

Mr. Reyes’s AP World History Bonfires - It is always a joy to see the creative learning going on in classes. For instance, during December finals, Mr. Reyes hosted bonfire chats for AP World History. Based on what they learned during the semester, students prepared notes on and then discussed how various historical figures would react to issues such as technology in our current age. To create the appropriate ambiance, several student aides helped transform the library’s classroom space into a cozy circle of virtual bonfires. Enjoy some excerpts from the fun: part I and part II!
