POLARIS is an arts and literary magazine created by NGFS Upper School students and published yearly near the end of the school year. All NGFS community members are invited to submit to the publication.
Dear Reader,
First of all: Thank you, truly, for taking a break from the hustle and bustle of life, sitting down for a moment, taking a deep breath, and picking up this newest issue of Polaris. We received an immense variety of submissions this year, covering the painful realities of life and the astounding beauty of nature. In these pages, storms and specters walk alongside kittens and caterpillars. It may seem strange, and maybe it is—but together, they create something stunning, and it’s our sincere hope that you think so, too.
Secondly, on a personal note, I (Eli) am extremely grateful for my time as a Polaris editor these last four
years. I’ve reviewed hundreds of beautiful submissions and worked with some amazing people. It’s been a real pleasure.
But enough of that—enjoy the mag!
With gratitude,
The Polaris Team
Eli, Rachel, Aviva, Owen, Hope, Chris
