2020 Editor in Chief    Anik Willig

School closed early this year because of the

pandemic. That did not stop the 2020 Elysium

staff from completing the magazine.

 

For almost three month they worked from home using Zoom groups and selecting and

matching submissions on-line.

 

Without access to Adobe Software they downloaded a one-week trial of Adobe InDesign and Photoshop and taught themselves how to create a spread.

 

Even after school officially closed  for the

summer, they continued working two more weeks.  Their perseverance and dedication

paid off.  I am SO proud of them.
