We’re grateful for the many special activities happening this month that enrich student learning. From volleyball playoffs and our drama showcase to celebrating French culture and enjoying a Wellness Afternoon on March 19, these experiences help support and strengthen student engagement and personal growth.

French Week

We are excited to celebrate Francophonie Week at our school this week! Throughout the week, students will take part in a variety of fun and engaging activities highlighting French language and culture, including the Folklofolie Show, the Sugar Cube Castle competition, Manie Musicale, French movie viewings, and more. It will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate la Francophonie, explore music and traditions from around the French-speaking world, and participate in some friendly competition.

Nous avons bien hâte de célébrer ensemble et de vivre une semaine remplie de plaisir en Français!
