Dear Parents,
Many thanks to those of you who were able to help us out with the Apple Crisp and the Ice Cream. The children enjoyed it immensely!
Back by popular demand, we will host another Gala d'art oratoire this year. The annual "Gala d'art oratoire" will take place May 26 at Cardel Theatre (180 Quarry Park Blvd. SE). The Gala d'art oratoire is not a competition, but rather a celebration of French! It's an opportunity for every student to showcase the skills they've gained over the years. Please do look for a poem that your child can practice at home. You could google poeme francais or Jean de la Fontaine and you will find several French poems.
We are learning about Bats for our English Unit. Today the children learned amazing facts about bats. Please ask them to share at least ten things they learned.
Have a great weekend!

February 2nd 2018
Dear Parents,
There are some important messages in the Agenda. As well, if possible, could you please send a 4L bottle of milk or water cut in half at home with your child on Monday? I would like the part with the handle which would serve as a nose for the Mardi Gras mask. I have also asked the kids to bring an old shirt to school on Monday.
Many thanks to all the parent Volunteers and have a good weekend!

Dear Parents,
Mardi Gras is around the corner, more specifically the 9th of February. I would like to do a paper mache project with masks. Since it is a fairly messy project and quite detailed, I would appreciate as many Parent Volunteers as possible on Monday morning. Please do indicate in your child's Agenda if you can help.
Many thanks
