Note From Mrs. Zabinsky

2012 was year one of The Written Voice. It has been both thrilling and exciting to create this literary rest stop for NSHAHS and to have had such a dedicated group of students by my side as it developed into something substantial, worthy and worthwhile. To those who have submitted and to those who have read, I thank you. Thus far, none of our previous issues dedicated themselves to a particular theme or cause—instead, they were a conglomerate of varied creative works from students throughout the school. Novels, poetry, short stories, personal essays, persuasive standpoints… all found a place, a home, a readership through The Written Voice. However, for this December issue we have decided to dedicate ourselves to something very near and dear to our hearts: creativity. More specifically, creativity at NSHAHS. The fact that North Shore cultivates and nurtures creativity, imagination and passion in its students is undeniable, and we wanted to take the opportunity to pay homage to that in our final issue of 2012. I sincerely hope that you enjoy our December issue and that it stays with you as it will most certainly stay with us.
