My Pilibos
By: Shant Ispendjian


Have you ever known a school to be,

A home away from your family,

Where everyone you see each day

Embrace you ever so lovingly!


I know of this place in Hollywood,

Where faces smile all day in grace,

Where happily we enter their gates,

To start each day our learning race.


Always striving, no time to rest,

Our growing minds they only Wonder,

What lies ahead & around the corner,

So much knowledge chasing us like thunder.


In footsteps of our Armenian people,

My school stands beautiful, proud & strong,

Each day I thank to have this chance,

My home my school where I belong


GOAL!!

By: Daron Simitian

Grade 6


It will be a shocker,
If you have never heard of soccer.
No matter the score,
You’ll always want more.

You could be playing street soccer in Brazil,
Or playing an organized match in Seville.
You could play with the natives in Nepal,
Or play with your relatives in Montreal


When you are playing it’s almost like a dream,
Going out and scoring goals with your team.
When you're passing to your buddies Ibrahim and Maxime,
There’s no other sport because soccer is supreme.






Spring
By: Victoria Shamiryan

As soon as the sun wakes up from its run,
Going on an adventure to have fun,
From one place to another it comes in joy,
The children go to the yard to play with toys.

The wind flows through the trees,
I hope I don't say goodbye with ease,
To the sun I love,
As I look above.

Winter Formal

At 12:15 on Friday, January 19, students rushed out of the Abcarian building halls, hoping they would have enough time to get ready for the long awaited, formal. Guys put on their best suits and the girls slipped into their best dresses, anxiously waiting to see what their friends are going to wear. Members of specific grade levels gathered earlier together to start the celebration and take lots of pictures. Soon students started rolling into the beautifully decorated hall in Metropol. The night started off with dining, along with the occasional dancing to the Armenian music being played. However, as the music got more intense, students could not get off the dance floor. The rhythmic beats of Armenian, Arabic, Spanish, and English music filled the hall and the bodies of the students. They took a quick break for some water and kebab, but quickly stood back up to continue dancing. Towards the end of the night, we celebrated Mr. McCrory’s and junior Veronica Mkhsi-Gevokian’s birthdays ...

Anna Turcotte Visits Pilibos

   We are Armenian scholars in an Armenian school; because of this, we are often exposed to our country’s good and bad, the highs and lows. We often hear about the Armenian Genocide and the Artsakh conflicts, but we are not always reminded of the conflicts our people face outside of the homeland. We have seen Genocide survivors and young Artsakh soldiers whose stories we have heard and are a little familiar to us. However we rarely hear from a survivor of mass discrimination and violence, who stood up with Armenians the way other survivors did- just outside the homeland. Pilibos freshmen, sophomores and juniors met one such survivor in an assembly on Tuesday February 27 when Anna Astvatsaturian Turcotte came to Pilibos to share her story and experiences. Anna Turcotte was a ten year old girl living in Azerbaijan when her mother told her she could no longer go to volleyball practice. She did not know at first, but this was just the first sacrifice out of many for the years...
