Student Engagement

Month of the Young Adolescent is for and about youth ages 10 to 15. Any celebration of this month must first start with activities that are for and about these young people. Each year, National Middle School Association offers a way for young adolescents to submit their original work for possible international recognition in print and online.

From a poster that is produced annually and included in Middle Ground magazine each August, to art or writing samples that are featured online, we have just the way to add that extra recognition to your Month of the Young Adolescent plans. Browse this section for the next call for entries, samples of previous featured student materials, and ideas for bringing these activities to life in your school.
