Attention all French students!

Are you taking core French or French Immersion again next year?  Do you want to find out more information about studying abroad in Europe for 2 or 3 months during the second semester of next year?  If this is something that is potentially of interest to you, please come to a brief, but important student information session on Tuesday, December 17 immediately after school in room 202.  Merci beaucoup-- see you all there!     

St-Donat Final Payments-- REMINDER!

This is just a reminder to those parents that have not yet paid the entire amount for our St-Donat French Immersion trip:  the final payment of $275 is due immediately (cheques made payable to OTHS).

In the New Year, you will receive correspondence from me, informing you of our pre-departure meeting.  This meeting will take place roughly 1 week before our departure, and will provide you with very important information, such as what time we will need to meet for our departure on Sunday, February 9.

Until then, enjoy getting ready for the upcoming holiday season!  If you have any questions, as always, don't hesitate to contact me.

Franconnexion!

On Friday, four of our grade 9 French students from here at OTHS attended Franconnexion with me at Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School in Burlington.  Our students benefited from many different workshops throughout the day, and even took part in Zumba...all in French!  According to my students, one of their favourite "ateliers" (workshops) was a grade 12 student panel who spoke to students about the benefits of continuing with French throughout high school.  Thanks again to the students who attended with me!
