September 25, 2024

In 2024-2025, more than 70 different nationalities will be represented by families and staff of The École. To celebrate, we will hold our second annual International Festival on Wednesday, September 25. Children come to school that day dressed in traditional costumes or their country colors, and parents are invited to sign up for their country’s stand and work together with other parents from the same country to prepare bite-sized traditional treats for our students to sample. For the 2023 edition, parents decorated their stands with flags and tri-folds filled with fun facts about their countries. In 2024, the Elementary & Middle School International Festival will take place on the Open Street in front of the school building (permit pending!) from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. during each Grade’s morning recess slot. If it rains, the festival will take place indoors. The Maternelle International Festival will take place from 1:30-3:00 p.m. in the MPR on the 5th floor. Parents who are interested in taking part should sign up at the link in the Family Handbook. The more the merrier!
