I am Erin Hartmans, a 16 year
old, grade 11 French immersion student at John F. Ross C.V.I. I was born in the United States and lived in a few different places before moving to Guelph, Ontario. Throughout high school, I have involved myself in a wide variety of fundraisers and clubs, such as Student Outreach Club, Spread the Net and 30 Hour Famine. This year I am on the John F. Ross Students' Council. My responsibilities involve planning school events that benefit both students and the community; it has been a wonderful experience. Outside of school, I enjoy volunteering at my local church, practicing yoga, playing the piano and reading everything I can. I love baking, capturing pictures, swimming in lakes and listening to Canadian music. Each day, I try to do one thing that will lead to a better tomorrow. |

Chocolate. The symbol of Valentine’s Day, indulgence, and all things romantic. Did you eat one or two (or 20) sweet chocolaty treats in celebration of v-day today? I know I did. The mini-chocolate bar wrappers fill my garbage as my brothers and I feast on the day’s winnings. (Continue reading…)
