| "Recruitment camp is over, the first few practices are done with. My players have the eyes of tigers, the hearts of lions and the jaws of crocodiles, I saw it in training. Now it is time for everybody to see what imagination they have in their stomachs!" - Coach Bouchard Last week, the game schedule of the "Ligue des Pamplemousses" was made public for all of Quebec improv teams. The French Improv Team (THE FIT) have a big season in front of them if they want to access the regional finals. Wednesday, October 26, the FIT will be playing it's first game at collège Mérici.

ECO-St. Lo
|  Here is your green tip of the week from ECO-St. Lo, your award-winning local environment group. St. Lawrence, ECO-St. Lo and Green Denis Duguay launch a brand-new composting project!
Composting is an excellent way for us as individuals to cut down on ourpersonal contribution to landfills.And did you know that decomposing waste in landfills generates methane, a very powerful greenhouse gas?
There a number of ways we can compost. Quebec City has some municipal programs, and we can compost at home.
Here at St. Lawrence, we now have bins to receive compostable materials, including vegetable cuttings, pasta remains, bread, eggshells, seafood shells, fish,milk products (including cheese), even meat waste and used paper towels from our washrooms! Yes, our project is remarkably extensive, and we at little St. Lawrence should thank Green Denis Duguay for spearheading this new initiative. The cafeteria staff is now putting all food waste in our compost bins, and the city is collecting our local compostables.
At St. Lawrence,it's easy being green! |

DO YOU NEED TO TAKE THE SAT?
|  Students planning to go study in the States are generally required to complete SAT testing. The test is administered by the College Board. Canadian students are considered to be international students, and therefore, must register at the latest November 8, 2011 for the December 3 test date. We strongly encourage you to apply by the October 25 (early registration deadline) if you are sure of taking the test. Students planning to take both the SAT and SAT Subject tests must do so on two separate testing days. St. Lawrence is an authorized testing center. Students wishing to take the SAT can register for the December 3 or January 28 test dates. Although St. Lawrence is an authorized testing center, you must register online at http://sat.collegeboard.org and pay your testing fees to the College Board. Study materials are available at your library. You may also use free online practice tools or order additional practice material. The registration booklets, as well as the preparation booklets, are available in the Counselling Office, room 254. Our test center code is 97261 (if you don't find our name on the list, you may also search by code). If you have any questions about the registration process, you may contact Nicole Anne Daigle, Guidance Counsellor. |
