Gould Lake Visit with 7E1 & 7E4
The 7E1 & 7E4 classes had a beautiful day at Gould Lake earlier this month. We are so thankful to have this important Centre to visit to learn and grow in our Geography/History/Physical Education/Science curriculum areas and practise collaboration and initiative. If your child loved the adventure, look into the credit granting Summer Program.
Manie Musicale is Back On!
Manie Musicale is an annual bracket-style competition for students and teachers of French. Similar to March Madness basketball in the United States, participants try to predict which of 16 francophone songs will be the most popular. Once the tournament starts, voters decide which song will advance to the next round until we have a champion. The best part? Students learn French while having fun with students from all over the world.
If you would like to join in on the fun with your child, just pop on the playlist while you are driving the parent taxi:

FSS band - term 2
The level 100 band is back this term and is stronger than ever! We have many folks returning from last year, and many new folks this term!
After careful consideration, we have decided to implement a user fee of $40. All of the current music-curriculars at FSS charge a user fee. This user fee is intended to support the purchase of new music primarily, as well as some incidentals like snacks, and copying costs. This fee will be payable through schoolday by the end of next week. We do not want this fee to be a barrier, so please speak to Mme Lasko if this is not financially possible for you at this time.
On another note, we are working towards our first spring performance at the Coffee House March 25th in the library. Admission is free. 7 to 9 pm. ~ M Davey
Basketball
Girls Basketball
The girls' basketball season wrapped up at Thursday’s LESSA Championship tournament hosted by Queen’s University.
The girls played incredibly well in the round-robin games, making the semi-finals against a strong Loughborough team. We won that game in a dramatic double-overtime fashion. In the finals, we went up against a well-coached LaSalle team with strong guards and forwards. Although we lost, it was a fairly close game, and we are proud to call ourselves championship finalists! Coaches Benn and Doucet are incredibly proud of these girls, who were an absolute pleasure to coach. Allez les loups!

Boys Basketball
The boys’ basketball season wrapped up at Monday’s LESSA Championship tournament hosted by Queen’s University. The Acadie teams played with tremendous heart and skill throughout the day. The Acadie B team dominated their playoff games and went on to capture first place, finishing the tournament as champions. We are incredibly proud of their determination, teamwork, and steady improvement throughout the season. Coaches Brown and Ross are extremely proud of all the boys. They were a fantastic group to coach. Allez les loups!
