Coronavirus sculptures by Arlington artist explore intersection of danger and beauty

The sculptures seem to be inspired by the latest breaking news headlines. A figure in a stark white face mask. A giant virus cell mutating into a tentacled sea creature that morphs back into a virus — or maybe it’s a planet covered in protrusions that resemble nuclear smokestacks.

#2020Strong

St. Paul VI Catholic High School in Fairfax senior class has adapted a lot these past few months. They were patiently awaiting many events including prom, Baccalaureate Mass and graduation. Since it’s Paul VI’s last year in Fairfax before moving to Loudoun, the seniors also were looking forward to spending their final months of high school in the building they had called home for the past four years.

Online bioethics panel

During this time of global uncertainty and suffering, schools have had to consider the impact of the coronavirus on all school activities and planned events.

The planners of the annual event conceived of a way to overcome the obstacles preventing them from meeting and decided to bring their panel of experts into the homes of the school’s community virtually. Earlier this month, students, faculty, staff and parents came together to listen to the panel of experts, to discuss, question, and examine the many medical and ethical dilemmas we encounter.More

Pandemic optimism

It can be hard to be cheerful during this crisis that currently plagues the world. Stores are closed, education is online and friends remain at a distance — at least 6 feet, to be exact.

But the Lenten season that we just spent six weeks living teaches us that all our struggles have a redemptive quality.More
