LEAP is very excited to present our LEAP Mosaics and this month's theme is Myths & Legends. Students are tasked to choose an ancient myth or legend that captivates your imagination, or you can create one of your own. Express your interpretation of your chosen myth or legend through poetry, narrative storytelling, or art. Submit your piece to be included in our Mythical Mosaic, each entry receives a LEAP point, and the final mosaic will be displayed outside of the library.
