Félicitations to our French Immersion Graduates! 🎓🇫🇷

Tonight is the big night! A massive congratulations to the Central High School seniors who have officially completed the full French Immersion Pathway. This incredible, multi-year journey started with their very first words at L'Etoile du Nord, expanded at Hidden River Middle School, and finishes on the graduation stage tonight.

Sticking with a dual-language program from kindergarten through 12th grade takes serious grit. These students didn't just study French—they mastered entire subjects in French. By completing this pathway, they have unlocked a literal superpower, and the entire world is now open to them. 🌍✨

📸 Celebrating Our Grads: Check out the photos and highlights of these amazing immersion seniors below! This collection doesn't feature everyone just yet, so please drop missing photos and shoutouts in the comments so every single graduate gets the recognition they deserve.

Chapeau bas, graduates! The entire community is so proud of your hard work and brilliance. Go make your mark—the world is ready for you! 🎉

Last Thursday, our students in Grades 3–5 proudly participated in our school's annual Science Fair! 🔬✨

Students designed and conducted their own experiments, created detailed presentation boards entirely in French, and shared their learning with volunteer judges. From creative questions to thoughtful observations, our students demonstrated curiosity, confidence, and so much hard work throughout the event.

We are incredibly proud of all of our young scientists for their effort, creativity, and presentation skills. A huge thank you to our volunteer judges for taking the time to listen, ask questions, and encourage our students during the fair. 💙

We would also like to give a very special thank you to our science teacher, Mme Bissoy, for organizing this wonderful event and helping make the experience so meaningful for our students. 🌟

We can’t wait to announce the winners soon — stay tuned!
