Express yourself in poetry, narrative storytelling, or art. Your contribution will join those of your fellow students, forming a stunning mosaic that celebrates the timeless beauty and power of ancient mythology. Each entry receives one LEAP point. All entries should be no bigger than 8.5 by 11 inches and are due by Tuesday, May 21. The final mosaic will be displayed outside of the library.
