Carnaval de Quebec. All of our students will be participating in a full day of activities, from dances and games to crepe making, as they celebrate a traditional Winter Festival from Quebec. All students will need to remember to dress appropriately for the weather, as many of the activities will take place outside. Everyone is invited to dress up as lumberjacks/les bucherons. We might even have a special visit from Bonhomme! A special thank you to Mme Candy and Mrs. MacDermott for working together to organize the event!!

Field Trip for Mrs. Isaac’s Class. Mrs. Isaac’s class will be going to the high school’s Sullivan campus to play some math games, created by some Grade 11/2 students. The Grade 11/12 students have visited our school and connected with the K/1 class and now it’s Bastion’s turn to visit the high school. Hmmm… didn’t realize polynomials and calculus were part of the new K/1 curriculum!!
