Breaking over the Horizon

MSSM students showcased their literary talents at the launch party for Breaking Over The Horizon, a captivating anthology of poetry and memoir published by The Telling Room. The event, held on Tuesday evening, marked a significant milestone for our Creative Writing students, with 26 pieces from Telling Room sessions featured in the anthology.

At the heart of MSSM's ethos lies a commitment to STEM education and academic excellence. However, our students demonstrate that their talents extend far beyond the realms of math and science. Breaking Over The Horizon exemplifies this multidimensional excellence, showcasing the creativity of our student body.

The launch party, hosted in the cozy ambiance of the MSSM dorm lower lounge, provided a platform for students to share their work with the community. With half of the students bravely stepping forward to read their pieces, the evening was a celebration of both individual expression and collective achievement.

In attendance were key figures from The Telling Room, including Program Director Nick Whiston and Lead Teacher (Publications) Jude Marx. Whiston's background in education and dedication to nurturing youth voices align perfectly with MSSM's mission of empowering students. Meanwhile, Marx's commitment to creative storytelling as a tool for community building resonates deeply with our school's values.

As MSSM continues to offer innovative programs and enrichment opportunities, partnerships with organizations like The Telling Room further enrich the educational experience for our students. Breaking Over The Horizon not only highlights the literary talents of MSSM students but also underscores the collaborative spirit that defines our school community.
