Getting to the Heart of the Matter
Love …countless songs, books, and poems have been written on the subject. It is the one emotion that can make you feel elated or it can catapult you into the depths of despair. Love is a deep feeling of personal attachment to another – ‘personal’ being the operative word. So why do we let a 5th Century Roman ritual such as Valentine’s Day dictate how or when we should demonstrate our love for one another?

Christmas came just in Time
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.
In Memory of Charles Yu, 永遠懷念
Charles Yu, 于皓冰, passed away on September 21, 2014 due to a tragic accident in a parking lot near Warden Ave. and 14th Ave. Charles was an amazing student, friend and son and his passing marks a great loss to our community. He was a smart and hardworking student and ever since he was little, he had big dreams of becoming a doctor and helping others. For all of us who knew Charles, we shared amazing times with him – through all the highs and lows in life. He was always a happy person, and he never failed to make his friends laugh and live everyday with a smile on his face.
