Lester B. Sweethearts
by the Pearson News Staff
For Valentine’s Day, we asked you to send in your photos of you and the partner you met while attending a Lester B. Pearson School. We received a heart-warming response, some examples of which are displayed below.

My husband (Luc Boudrias) and I met in Madame Smith’s French class in 1992 at Saint Thomas High School. We sat beside each other. Luc was stronger in French and helped me a lot. We were part of the same group of friends but got closer the summer after high school graduation.

Dustin Lesniak and Tara Satim
Year we met: 1992
School: Riverdale High School in Pierrefonds, QC
It all began at Riverdale High School in the crisp autumn of 1992. While fate didn’t seat us in the same classes, we found ourselves sharing the same TAG room for all five memorable years. Unbeknownst to each other, secret crushes blossomed during those formative years.
Graduating in 1997, life took us on separate paths until the magic of Facebook reunited us in 2009. Love rekindled swiftly, turning into a deep bond, and Dustin made our love story timeless by proposing on the football field at Riverdale in 2011, recreating a special moment from our teenage years.
Now approaching 15 years together, we have built a life filled with love, laughter, and four beautiful children. We remain each other’s best friends, creating a story that beautifully intertwines the past and the present.
