Dear Reader,
The school year’s end is upon us, and with it, the newest issue of Polaris! As always, we received a
magnificent variety of submissions from our NGFS community, from stunning photography and
heartfelt poems to beautiful artwork and resonant short stories. We received work from people who
have submitted before and have also added some new names to the magazine. We are truly grateful
for everyone with the courage to add their voice to the growing history of Polaris. We had a
wonderful time basking in the light of such marvelous creativity, and we are honored to give you the
same opportunity.
In peace and gratitude,
The Polaris Team
