BY JUDAH FUNK I'm not a very social person and I don’t think that’s a downside to my personality. When other people are out having fun at the mall, I'm either in my house playing video games or skateboarding. Sometimes, because of where we live and all the beautiful mountains, I will just stare into [...]
BY ANNABELLE VANDERKOOI Recently, I painted a self-portrait symbolizing my relationship with God. In my painting there are three fish skeletons swimming in a dull but starry galaxy. Each fish swimming around my black and white painted face represents one of the Trinity: The Father, The Son, and The Holy spirit. The fish skeletons swimming [...]
BY MATTHEA BELTRAME Italian culture has always been a big part of my life. We are known for being loud, lively, dark haired, and most of all, we cook amazing food. My Italian grandmother, who we call “Nonna,” is the last of our family who actually grew up and immigrated to Canada from Salvarosa, Italy [...]
BY CAITLYN CHARLEBOIS I have said sorry 87 times in four hours. I had a job a while ago at a pizza place. They knew me as the girl who said sorry. It was mainly meant as a joke, until one day I said sorry while trying to get past someone to get to the [...]
BY DAVID WILLIAMSON The struggles of math As a child, up until grade 6, I was home schooled.

BY FAITH BAARS Shorts, tank tops, skirts, ripped jeans, and low-cut shirts: one of the biggest battles between my generation and the one before it. The Dress Code isn’t a light subject. The fight Teachers, or more accurately schools, most likely enforce dress code rules for all of us students. Some schools might be stricter [...]
BY MEGHAN FRANKLIN, CLASS OF 2015 My younger brother (and only sibling) Evan will be graduating on Tuesday. As I’ve been watching him and his friend’s prepare for prom, exams, and the excitement of commencement over the past months, I can’t help but reflect on when I was going through those same experiences myself three [...]
Being in the middle school is an opportunity to see students grow and change almost daily. My favourite memory this school year was sailing with one of the grade 8 classes. I was witness again, to students growing confidence and a willingness to try something new and difficult. Some students climbed higher in the shrouds [...]
I still remember the first time I heard the story of why my brother became a teacher. He was in his first year of college, not sure what he really wanted to do. He had to take a science course as one of the core subjects. One of the required labs was to document the [...]
