Every month we also hear the writings of the Authors of the Month. They are students who have chosen to submit their best writing to the Magic Mailbox. We have a student Editorial Board that meets on Tuesdays to review Magic Mailbox submissions. They decide on different places to publish writing. The best are chosen for this monthly honor!
