6 Literary Magazine, Ink83 Preorder form for Students and Staff Due to the sheer volume of submissions we have received last year, we are trying to combat costs of including as many submissions as possible, while still having some color in the magazine. Subsequently, we regret that we will have to charge a nominal fee per magazine. By reserving your copy in advance, this pre-ordering will allow us to make only the specific number of copies of the magazine that are needed, further helping to reduce costs, with the possibility of having the magazine professionally printed. Please fill out the bottom portion of the form and have your student return it with the corresponding cash or check (Made Payable to CCSD #46) to his/her homeroom teacher. The deadline for the pre-ordering form and fees is Wednesday, May 11, This will ensure we have time to process the orders and print the magazine before the end of the school year.
