Our minds are like blank sheets of white paper ready to be colored with the impressions of everyday life.

Welcome to Impressions, the First Colonial High School Literary Arts Magazine . Our magazine represents the remarkable literary and artistic works of First Colonial students and their intriguing impressions of life. It is through this magazine that we can share our thoughts, feelings, and ideas to not only our fellow peers, but to the rest of world as well. It has been a rewarding experience to oversee the publication of this magazine. Each time I reviewed a submission, I felt privileged to discover the beliefs of the people I walk the halls with everyday. We are able to provide these creative works thanks to the willingness of First Colonial High School’s students sharing their impressions, the dedication and diligence of our staff for editing our submissions, and the constant support of our sponsor, Mr. Adam Roth. I hope that after you explore our magazine your sheet of paper is vibrantly colored.
