Literary Festival

135 students from MHHS attended the Carolina Mountains Literary Festival in Burnsville, North Carolina.  The students were able to see a variety of young adult writers, including novelists Beth Revis, Stephanie Perkins, and Monika Shroder; graphic novelist Chris Schweizer; poet Joseph Bathanti; and storyteller Sherry Lovett.  The students found the festival more interesting than they had anticipated.  We hope to visit the festival again next year for it's 8th annual celebration.
