Dear IF mag readers around the world,
A couple of the teachers at the Hilton Head Middle School on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina USA have put together a little bit of student writing for your enjoyment. The collective work is called “The Seahawk Little Mag” because the Seahawk is a type of Osprey that is the school mascot and an indigenous bird of the Lowcountry. This bird stands over the writers as a symbol of the area that they come from in the world of voices around the globe. There are so many images of the various landscapes that color the writers and writing we hear when we listen to the voices of the towns of: Porthcawl, Wales; Buckinhamshire, England; Santa Margharita, Italy; Baden Baden, Germany; Kigali, Africa, or Costa Brava, Spain.
In Hilton Head Island, the students wake up to the Lowcountry tidal grasses along the intracoastal waters, the air thick with humidity, their feet making their way through the sandy dirt and the side-crawling crabs as they look up to the image of a perched Seahawk. They wake up to their own voices as well. Please welcome our newest, young writers. Thank you for reading,
(one of the HHIMS teachers)
