LE REVEILLON
GIVES FRENCH IMMERSION STUDENTS AT CONFEDERATION SECONDARY SCHOOL A
TASTE OF TRUE FRENCH CHRISTMAS TRADITION
|
|
|
|
|
It only takes a few minutes with Mme Helene Berthiaume to discover her
passion for francophone culture!
Mme Berthiaume has been a professional educator for over 20 years with
experience at both the elementary and secondary level. She now finds herself
the Program Leader for French Immersion at Confederation Secondary School
and is "Loving Every Minute".
As a program leader Mme Berthiaume is able to integrate her
"personal passion for the French Culture" into the programs being
taken by the 78 students in the French Immersion program at
Confederation.
On December 13, 2006, Mme Berthiaume, with the help of staff and
volunteers, organized the First Annual "REVEILLON" celebration at
the school. "This is the meal that the French people have right after
Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. By having the students enjoy this beautiful
buffet lunch with so many delicious French foods, it gives the students a
chance to appreciate the French culture. It gives everyone a fresh
perspective on how they live. This makes them want to learn the language so
that they too can participate in this wonderful way of life."

Gilbeau (who helped with the cooking); Mme Berthiaume (Program Leader);
Gemma & Michel Fredette (Volunteers).

Following the meal, the students moved to the amphitheatre where they were
treated to a presentation by "Mon Oncle Emile" a professional
story teller who shared some of his favourite traditional tales. The Grades
7 and 8 students from Valley View Public School also attended the
presentation.

Grade 5 Students From Redwood Acres Sing Christmas
Carols At The Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre
|
|
|
|
Visitors to the Hanmer Valley
Shopping Centre were treated to some wonderful singing by close to 70 Grade
5 students from Redwood Acres Public School on Thursday, December 14, 2006.
|
|
|
The students stopped by the mall after first entertaining the residents at
the Elizabeth Centre in Val Caron. Before arriving at the mall, however,
they did make one very enjoyable stop at Harvey's in Val Caron.
|
|
|
Grade 5 Teacher, Mrs. Kaitlin Lemega watched as her students as well as
those from Ms. Nadene Houston's and Carole Burke's classes sang for almost
30 minutes in the centre court area of the mall.
|
|
|
The very well-behaved and polite students were great ambassadors for Redwood
Acres. Everyone in the mall who heard them commented on their tremendous
self-discipline and on the way they handled themselves while in this public
venue. After the show was finished, many of the students took time to say
hello to one of the most attentive listeners in the audience. Below, several
of the students are shown with Klondike, a seeing-eye dog who accompanied
one of the visitors.
