Even through COVID-19, Niles North’s Calliope, a literary magazine, is accepting submissions for the 2021 Spring issue from students and staff. 

Calliope accepts submissions yearly of many different forms of visual art including digital art, painting, sculpturing, and drawings. Not only does it focus on the visual arts but also on the literary arts. Including original short stories and poetry, even screenplays. 

Jean Ordoñez, Niles North teacher and sponsor of Calliope, commented on what Calliope means and what it aims to achieve. 

“Calliope is an excellent opportunity for students to express themselves visually and through words,” she said.  “It is a time where students, especially in a remote situation, can share their artistic growth and celebrate.”
