Sisters students offer literary magazine

The Sisters High School English Department, in cooperation with The Americana Project, is producing its second annual literary magazine, Verbatim, to be available late this month.

The magazine contains a diverse collection of literary and art work such as poetry, short stories, photography and drawings from students and staff at Sisters High School. In addition, it contains an Americana Project sampler CD produced by the Americana Project students and Brad Tisdel.

The magazine was created by a board of students — Scott Barton, Maureen Broadbent, Tiffany Martin, Jesse Prichard and Rose Slavkovsky — who believe that the magazine will be an effective way to showcase some of the literary arts at Sisters High School.

Another goal of the board was to keep the cost at $5 to keep the magazine affordable for all students and community members. This goal was accomplished in part by a grant received from the Roundhouse Foundation.

The 34-page magazine was printed locally by XPress Printing in Sisters. The layout, design and editing were all done by students.
