On Wednesday, June 8, the HHS Creative Writing Club conducted a successful launch party for our literary magazine, The Empyrean. It was celebrated in the school media center, decorated with vases and paper flowers, made by the club members themselves, and tasty snacks.

Several club members, along Principal LaGrone and Mr. Spirito made an appearance at the event. The launch took off with a few members reading their poems or excerpts from short stories to the audience. Later, Mrs. DiGeronimo thanked the seniors with framed framed versions of their works. To end the night, students went around with their own copy of the Empyrean and signed them for each other. The online edition of The Empyrean can be found at: http://goo.gl/uwOcHM.
