St. Robert CHS Student News
In celebration of Arts Week, the Axiom hosted a photography contest based on the prompt of “self-expression through art.” Submissions came in from students of all grades and they were absolutely incredible. However, there is certainly one that best reflected the prompt and it was Linda R-C’s stunning photograph of an art piece contrasted to city buildings in the background. It undoubtedly captures the prompt while demonstrating her talent as a photographer!
Every year, on February the 14th, the world stops to celebrate a holiday called Valentine’s Day. It is meant to be a day where love is celebrated and people appreciate those who are closest to them. However, as the 14th fell on a Saturday this year, Friday, February the 13th was required to step in as the substitute Valentine’s Day at St. Robert CHS.
Arts week: a week of creativity, performance, and self expression. Planned and hosted by St. Robert’s Arts Council, arts week promoted the importance of art in the life of every student.
In the spirit of Arts Week, The Axiom, will be hosting a school-wide arts and photography contest. Artists and photographers will submit a piece that follows a given prompt and winners will receive a gift card to the retail of their choice and be featured on the front page of our newspaper! Other great submissions of our choice will also be published.

Santa finally arrived at St. Robert and brought what we needed most: a break from school. Since the curriculum marathon is near it’s end, classes have started their sprint to the finish line. After intense learning, wrapping up projects, and last minute tests, the cheery dismissal announcement was a warm surge of relief for teachers and students. A reminder that we truly are entering the most wonderful time of the year. Of course the lighter atmosphere and spirit of the school sped up the seemingly never ending days.

With all the excitement that comes with November, there is surely no doubt that you have at least come across the word Movember. Movember is the combination of the words “moustache” and “November”. It all began in 2003, with two guys named Travis Garone and Luke Slattery, from Melbourne, Australia. The two began to jokingly talk about some “recurring fashion trends” and found a way to convince a few of their friends to bring back the moustache trend to raise money for men’s health and prostate cancer and the prevention of depression.
