LE GALA 2015, UNE SOIRÉE MÉMORABLE
THE 2015 GALA WAS A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
Anika Martenson, Jenny and Charles Silver and Mireille DesRosiers
Saturday night's gala was an enormous success. Beautiful weather and a lovely venue welcomed our SDFAS friends and families. Thank you to everyone who helped make the event such a grand success and thank you gala chairs Jennifer Silver and Mireille DesRosiers.

It was a very colorful day yesterday on the campus, with students donning some very creative and elaborate hairdos and hats. We also had a presentation by the 3rd graders of their music workshops with a professional musician. They played the "mbira," also known as a thumb piano, an instrument from Zimbabwe, to the delight of their parents who had been invited for the final class. At the same time the French book fair gave students and parents the opportunity to receive the most valued of gifts: books in French. It seems so many activities take place everyday on the campus every day and every week, and these are just a few examples.
Finally, the gala was a success and gave the SDFAS community the opportunity to celebrate the school and to help fund projects for next year. More information will be sent soon by the gala team.
Enjoy this week's Écho!
Chrsitian Jarlov, head of school
Chers parents,
Ce fut une journée haute en couleur hier à l'école avec les élèves qui portaient des coiffures ou des chapeaux parfois très créatifs et très élaborés. Nous avions aussi une présentation par les élèves de CE2 des ateliers musicaux avec un musicien professionnel. Ils jouaient de la « mbira », aussi appelé piano à pouce, un instrument du Zimbabwe, pour le plus grand plaisir de leurs parents invités pour la dernière classe. En même temps, la foire aux livres donnaient aux élèves et aux parents la possibilité de recevoir un cadeau de valeur : un livre en français. Voilà quelques exemples des nombreuses activités qui ont lieu chaque jour et chaque semaine sur le campus.
Enfin, le Gala a été un grand succès et a permis à la communauté de SDFAS de célébrer l'école et de récolter des fonds qui permettront de mener à bien des projets pour l'an prochain. L'équipe du Gala vous informera prochainement à ce sujet.
Bonne lecture !
Christian Jarlov , chef d'établissement
