Deep within the basement hallways of BSM, room 27 houses an aura of centering and relaxation as students sprawl across the floor on mats and blankets during their Wellness meditation class. As an hour of release from stress and providing strict concentration on the health of body, mind, and spirit, Wellness classes have proved to be a revolutionary addition to the BSM curriculum. When Ms. Connie Fourre began her work as Wellness Director two years ago and started BSM’s Wellness program, she never imagined it would turn into the success it is today. “[The program is] better than what I originally envisioned. I never thought there would be all these activities, no BSM hour for a break,” said... Continue Reading

Life in Rwanda Freshman Bright Rwagatare’s life completely turned upside down after coming from a school where 60 children slept in one room, food was often cold and rarely tasted good, and teachers used severe discipline techniques to Benilde-St. Margaret’s. Even bigger than the change in schools, though, is Bright’s change in countries: from... Continue Reading

“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…” Finally, for all the Star Wars geeks out there, George Lucas has deepened the meaning of life and also, the depth perception of his masterpieces, and given us what we have only dreamed of. (Dramatic pause) Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 3D. The storyline may still lack anything a film-maker would deem decent, yet Lucas has not left his young Padawans discontent. By updating the visuals of this film to 3D, it was much easier to watch and enjoy. The scenes that were especially enhanced were the Jedis’ journey to and from the underwater Gungan city of Otoh Gunga (sea monsters included), Anakin’s podrace with an excess of spectacular...

Jabby13.com launched on Jan. 6 as a central place for accepting donations and providing a place where people can be linked to anything and everything “Jabby.”
The red and white website features Jablonski’s hockey photo with a main link for collecting online donations. “So far, we have collected 530 donations for a total of $44,470.00 that will go directly to The Jack Jablonski Fund,” said TST Media employee and hockey enthusiast Michael Murakami.
“I got a call from Dan Collins—father of BSM student and hockey player Ryan Collins—who has been in contact with the Jablonski family to start the process of setting up the site,” said Murakami, after a group of website creators from TST Media visited Jablonski in the hospital.
TST Media, the company that created mnhockeyhub.com as well as bsmockey.com, helped launch the website with family representatives to show support for the Jablonski family. “As a company of hockey lovers, the group of employees were looking to help in whatever way they could. We thought it was important to use our expertise on the web to help support a good cause,” said Murakami.
“[The website] features a comment stream that allows people who donate to leave words of support for Jack and his family. Additionally, different forms of media have been added such as a photo gallery, videos from YouTube, and links to articles on the MN Hockey Hub,” said Murakami.
“The amount of traffic the site has been getting is pretty amazing. Since last Friday, 20,972 people have visited the website and 16,518 of those people have been new visitors,” said Murakami.
Because of the nature of the incident, many hockey parents worried about the checks being delivered in hockey. “I know that there is currently another site in production to help raise awareness about dangerous checks and hockey safety, in general. The other site will eventually be linked to Jabby13.com,” said Murakami.
