Tonight’s event at Hendershot’s is a showcase for student content creators and fundraiser for our publication. Student contributors featured in the 2023 edition of our magazine, “Flourish”, will perform their published pieces. The showcase will also include several musical performances and readings from the Creative Writing Project, a project we facilitate for the ODYSSEY Media Group.

As a showcase for the creativity of Clarke Central students, we also hope to allow community members to learn more about the iliad and how to support our mission. During the evening, we hope to encourage donations while also highlighting student creativity.
