The staff of the Boston College Campus School give thanks for the administration's decision to work to keep the Campus School at BC.

It is with utmost gratitude that I write to you today with regards to the decision to give us an opportunity to implement our strategic plan to keep the Campus School on the campus of Boston College.

I'm not sure if all of my readers will feel the same way but, personally, Valentine's Day seemed to be a much bigger deal this year. I was confused as to why Valentine's Day had never felt this dramatic to me before this weekend. I started thinking of how I had spent Valentine's Days past and, suddenly, had a flashback to something I had not thought about since high school. My Valentine's Days were always special because I always had a Valentine, and he was my hero the other 364 days of the year.

The Olympics plays out for us a familiar American story about hard work paid off-it reminds us of everything that's romantic about capitalism. We are constantly rooting for the unlikely victor, the one whose success seems worked for rather than effortless. The more meager the beginnings, the more delicious the victory.

 Now that BC has made the decision to keep the Campus School on campus, it's time for us, as parents of a Campus School student, to acknowledge that decision and express our appreciation. I know we speak for all the Campus School families when we say thank you. We cannot tell you how much this means to us.

Winter is great-- from a distance. It's overstayed its welcome now, and sunshine would be a welcome change.

A couple of weeks ago a friend asked me to join her at a prayer service dedicated to the Campus School. She told me that the future of the Campus School was in jeopardy and that it would be a great opportunity to voice my support. I did not know much about the Campus School controversy. I decided to go to the prayer service and learn more about it.

Science isn't always right -- you have to make a judgment call in what you believe it tells us.

The Boston College community, as well as the larger Catholic community, recently lost an influential figure in Rev. Daniel J. Harrington, S.J., who passed away Feb. 7 after an extended battle with cancer. 

On Saturday, a new exhibit on inter-war Parisian photography will open up in the McMullen Museum of Art. The exhibit notably combines the efforts of undergraduates and the art department with the museum staff to create a relevant, international exhibit.
