Bronxville Heroes: Robert Lowrie

by Kayalyn Kibbe

As my time at Bronxville comes to a close, I’ve been thinking a lot about my four years at this high school: the friends who stuck by me, the teachers who inspired me, and more recently, the amazing people who work at our school. We see them every day - whether they’re ringing up our breakfasts in the cafeteria or keeping our halls safe and clean. These are the unsung heroes of Bronxville High School and they are some of the nicest, most interesting people you’ll ever meet. This week, I’d like to focus on Robert Lowrie. I wanted to ask him a few question to get to know him better. Here is my interview with Robert, a man better known as Bobby.

I encourage all of you to get to know the people around you at Bronxville - you may be surprised with what you find out.
