UNDER THE LINDEN TREE
Under the Linden Tree is an annual publication, unique to GWS, presenting the writings of our students. This volunteer effort and PTO-supported magazine publishes original stories, poems, songs, plays, essays and other creative written works submitted by GWS students. It is a wonderful chance for your student(s) to express their creative writing and have it published in a REAL journal that will be a forever keepsake in your home!
Parents/guardians/teachers are encouraged to submit any work or assist the student in brainstorming a new piece, getting their original ideas down on paper whenever this is appropriate. Dictation is perfectly fine, as long as the words are the child’s. Each author may submit multiple written pieces per edition; accompanying artwork is optional. If artwork is included, please follow the guidelines on the submission form carefully to ensure the best reproduction. All pieces are published as submitted, therefore editing and proofreading are the responsibility of the child and the parent/guardian.
Please email submissions to gwslindentree@gmail.com.
Our submission deadline is Wednesday, January 9, 2019.
Your emailed submission is the permission to publish authorization; no additional signed forms are necessary. If you are unable to submit electronically, please have your student drop the hard copy of the piece, along with a signed submission form including contact information, into the hollow of the Linden Tree in the front lobby.

Any questions, please contact Nicole Afanasiw at gwslindentree@gmail.com
