Phew! Am I ever behind on blogging. Can you believe it's almost March Break?

I have a few notes from the February School Council meeting to share with you. And wasn't Fenetre Ouverte terrific? Many teachers and parents put a tremendous amount of effort into the day, and from what I heard the kids all felt it was fantastic. The goal of the entire day was to celebrate French and recognize all the students - both core French and immersion - for making the effort to speak the language. The highlight of my evening was the djembe drums lesson in Mme Park's class. Thank you to the young gentlemen who were such excellent teachers! I also loved the opportunity to drop in on the guitar club - and it was great to hear that they are now able to bring their guitars home thanks to the cases School Council funded in the fall.

Speaking of drums, did your kids tell you about the Mystic Drumz assembly a few weeks ago? Mine were raving about it for days. This program was initiated by one of the teachers (Mme Park too, I think), and funded by the School Council - so thank you to everyone who organized or participated in our fundraisers. You can see that the funds are being put to good use.

More very soon. -Catharine.
