Valentine's Day Playlist - Jam Sesh with Mech

If you've stood within a 5-mile radius of a supermarket these past couple of weeks, you probably know that it is Valentine's Day tomorrow. Now for some, this is very exciting. They get to have a romantic time with their SO! But if you don't have any romantic connections, Valentine's Day can seem intimidating, or even depressing. Personally, I have never been a big fan of Valentine's Day. I've always felt the expectations for romance are so high and incapable of being fulfilled. I've decided that Valentine's Day shouldn't just be a celebration of monogamy. It should be a celebration of love! So I approached this playlist a little differently than I would usually. These songs are a variety of 'love songs'. Some about sex, some about love, some about friendship and some about breakups. Hope you enjoy! Have a wonderful love day!

Jam Sesh with Mech - November Playlist

November Playlist is out and ready to be heard! November is such a hard month for everybody. It's by far the most academically challenging (from what I've gathered). Especially for our grade 12 students who are beginning to apply for schools and consider their next steps. WHAT THE HECK! We are all ready for a fresh start and a new year but we still have to deal with stupid November. Hopefully these tunes will take you out of your funk, if you are in one, and help you live your best life.

Jam Sesh with Mech - October Playlist

October is a great month full of cozy fall moments and the best Ridge events and I needed to reflect that in my choices. I’ve been exploring a lot of new artists (and some old ones too) over the past month and figuring out what to play for you guys. In my family, music is a must. We listen to tunes constantly. During dinners and car rides and of course whenever we have people over. Music is a great way to connect with people and to make those awkward hangouts a little less uncomfortably quiet. This month I will be sharing with you all an October playlist. The songs that will fill this month’s quiet moments. So, here it is, hope you enjoy. I’ll be listening with you:)

The Backbone of Iroquois Ridge - The Inside Scoop On Student Council 2016/17

Student Council is one of the clubs that glue Iroquois together. The group of high-achieving students that get together every Monday to discuss our school and its future call themselves StudCo. All the students that work to ensure you are having a good time and a comfortable social experience aren't as appreciated as they should be. Ridge Report recently had an interview to get an insider’s look on Student Council’s duties and goals for this year.

November 7th - Outfits of the Week - Fifty Shades Of Grey

This is not what you think it is - we just really love the colour grey, and fashion icons at the ridge seem to too! As Mia and I circulated the Ridge, we noticed that grey is an extremely popular colour amongst most Trailblazers. Grey is one of those colours that people associate with a feeling; sad. As amazing as you all look in these different shades of grey we’re hoping it isn't a cry for help and everybody is feeling bangarang. If not, we hope we can bring some light into your life with this super positive issue of Outfits Of The Week.

Here are five Trailblazers that showed up to school looking the cutest and the coziest.

OOTW - October 3 - Pink Week

The month of October has begun. Here at the Ridge, October doesn't only mean turkey and cool costumes. If you didn’t already know, Iroquois is a huge supporter of Breast Cancer awareness month. All the students and staff come together on October 6th to watch football and wear pink. Our annual Pink game is my all time fave Ridge event that isn’t a dance. Not only does Pink day have a great sense of community but it has a great sense of style too. Here are five outfits that I thought kicked just as much butt as the junior football team.

OOTW - September 26 - Jean Week

Fall is upon us, and with fall comes fall fashion - one of my personal favorite fashion seasons of the year. This year, Ridge Report’s new Outfits Of The Week column will update you on Trailblazer trends and what Iroquois students are rocking today. Mia Semeniuk (my trusty photographer) and I roamed the Ridge and found six Trailblazers that we want to applaud for truly slaying the fashion game this week.
