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 ...

Politics: Kavanaugh

Kavanaugh By Nayiri Artounians In the past couple of months, the Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearing has rocked the whole nation. In the midst of #Metoo and Time’s Up, sexual assault allegations have been brought up against what is supposed to be the epitome of justice and honor: a Supreme Court nominee.     Decades later, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford came out to speak her allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh was being reviewed for the position of Supreme Court Justice. This was the last straw for Dr. Ford: she talked of a sexual assault during high school done to her by Kavanaugh. During the testimony, Dr. Ford said, “ I am here today not because I want to be. I believe it is my civic duty to tell you what happened to me while Brett Kavanaugh and I were in high school.” And she proceeded to tell her story about her harrowing ordeal. About the bed, about Kavanaugh’s hands on her mouth, about the laughter of others and about the fear of not surviving.   ...
