Over the course of the SY 2023-2024, students and staff at The Goodwill Excel Center in Washington D.C., re-developed an art initiative. The effort to reignite this school arts initiative came from many individuals, and was filled with many memories, some of which are captured and showcased in the following pages.

Although not comprehensive, The Literary Magazine team would like to thank all the students and staff who made a submission. Each submission is cherished and respected. Some entries did not make it to publication but we cherish them in spirit.

In addition, we would like to recognize specific members for their contribution. The team would like to thank Ms. Julie Nocida, Ms. Candace Hopkins, Ms. N’Jyria Sutton, Dr. Chelsea Kirk, Ms. Queneia Harley Burkeen, Mr. Tom Pengelly, Ms. Latoya Hill, Ms. Dawn Rhodes, and others who worked on this project.

The pieces below, starting with the foreward, are a collection of art pieces made over the course of year of teaching and learning at The Goodwill Excel Center in Washington D.C. Please enjoy their legacies.
