Pyra is an ASB club (formerly known as Author's Society) sponsored by Ms. Lauren Jackson and the PTSA. Its main purpose is to create a literary and art publication titled "Pyra", featuring original pieces from ICS students.

This club runs on submissions from students. Every Monday at 2:40pm in Room 156, for about an hour the club will critique and review these literary and artistic submissions (creators remain anonymous, although their grade is factored into critiques). Discussions will speak to literary or artistic devices used and why a piece is strong in one way or another. Ultimately, the club will decide which pieces to include in the publication, and then the club's focus switches to publication details: order of pieces, layout, editing, etc.

If your student appreciates art, books, poems and Socratic discussion, this is a great club for them to join! If you have a creative student, please encourage them to submit pieces to Pyra (by emailing pyra.ics@outlook.com) for possible publication!📚

This club is UNIQUE within our school district! No other school offers a similar type of club nor publishes student work in this way!!

Club meetings begin Monday, October 12th at 2:40pm in Room 156.
