We are still looking for your great essays, stories and poems for Volume 10 of the Muse for this year. Don’t forget that the magazine is published only once yearly. Now’s the time to make your mark, say your piece, give us your voice and be published! Seniors especially, leave a lasting legacy behind before it’s too late! This Friday is the final deadline for submissions to the Muse! To submit, simply go to the Arapahoe home page, click on Activities, then Muse, then scroll down for directions on how to submit.
