Don’t let stunt speeches sink the impact of SA
May 8, 2012 • Cameron Kritikos, Sports Manager
CLICK HERE TO READ A LETTER TO THE EDITOR REBUTTAL BY KRISTIN TOMECEK Like all of you, I was in attendance at the S.A. Officer speeches last Monday, and probably like most of you, I left there a little confused as to what was going on. Sophomore Kristin Tomecek, who ran for secretary, gave her speech... Read more »
High pay to participate fees will only discourage participation
April 27, 2012 • Rebecca Rusiecki, Staff Reporter
On April 10th, the RB school board voted 6 to 1 to increase the athletic pay to participate fee from $75 to $200 per sport, instead of eliminating four sports (boys volleyball, girls golf, and boys and girls water polo). While this fee increase is estimated to raise over $100,000 for the school, it comes... Read more »
Day of Silence speaks volumes about tolerance
April 20, 2012 • Brenden Kaminski, Staff Reporter
Last year, when I got to school, I saw kids wearing stickers that said “I support the Day of Silence.” I tried asking them what it meant, but they wouldn’t tell me, obviously because they were being silent like the day implies. Later that day, someone slapped a sticker on my chest and I also... Read more »
Health class could be even healthier
April 13, 2012 • Kate Alaks, Staff Reporter
I believe in Health class. I believe that students need to understand their bodies and healthful behaviors. Nevertheless, taking students out of their normal PE classes so they can sit in a classroom for another period is hardly something I’d call healthy. And yet that’s what happens for almost every...

On April 5th, 2011, voters of the Riverside Brookfield community voted no to the proposed referendum. They also replaced four board members, including the president of the board Jim Marciniak who made the decision not to run for re-election. The community members were fully aware of what they were voting... Read more »
RB needs to get students politically involved and voting
March 24, 2012 • Rebecca Rusiecki, Staff Reporter
This past Tuesday, Mitt Romney easily coasted to victory in Illinois, winning over forty delegates. However, with near record low voter participation, especially among young adults, I feel that the political fate of our country may haven taken a turn for the worse. Let’s face it. For the most part,... Read more »
COUNTERPOINT: I know it’s the law, but Young Life still shouldn’t be at RB
January 21, 2012 • Kelly Kramer, A&E Manager
READ CAMERON KRITIKOS’ COUNTER OPINION ON YOUNG LIFE. I’d like to begin by saying that I have no problem with Young Life, and I do not believe the club is at fault for anything stated in this story. I just find it interesting that a religious club is allowed to be so promoted within a public... Read more »
How can I register when I haven’t even finished a semester?
January 17, 2012 • Kate Alaks, Staff Reporter
We’re only halfway through the school year, and already most of the students, particularly upperclassmen, are registered for next year’s classes. Registration started in November, and will probably be finished before February comes. Personally, I find a lot of problems for students with this system. For... Read more »
The winter without snow
January 11, 2012 • Madison Powers, Web Editor
The RB community is used to having a lot of snow during the winter. If you could think back to last year, RB had the first snow day in years due to the large amounts of snow! Not everyone loves snow, but you must admit that not having any snow this year has been pretty weird. Two RB students decided... Read more »
