Ecole Mountainview to host Open House: April 20, 2011 -7:00pm

The students, staff and parents at Ecole Mountainview have had a very busy few months since moving to their new location last September. Kindergarten registrations for the 2011/12 school year are now being accepted at the school. In a school district that has seen declining enrollment, Ecole Mountanview has seen the school population grow as more families recognize the many benefits of choosing a bilingual education for their children. The benefits of choosing a bilingual education for your child are both tangible and intangible:

•A deeper understanding of their own and other cultures.
•A greater number of career options.
•A lifelong ability to communicate with French-speakers, in Canada and around the globe.
•Enriched travel experiences, especially to the 30 countries where French is spoken.
•Superior creativity and problem-solving ability.
•A facility for learning other languages.

The Terrace Chapter of Canadian Parents for French would like to invite community members to an Open House at Ecole Mountainview, April 20, 2011 at 7:00pm. Directrice Maxine Champion and members of the local chapter of Canadian Parents for French will be there to answer any questions about the French Immersion program in Terrace and give tours of this Ecole Mountainview.
If you are unable to attend the open house but would like to find out more about registering your Kindergarten or Grade One student in Ecole Mountainview for next September, please contact the school directly at 250.635.3115

Fundraiser for Ecole Mountainview

École Mountainview depends on successful fundraisers to provide funds necessary to continue offering important supplemental educational opportunities for the student body.

We are raising money to purchase an outdoor electronic display board.

We are having a raffle fundraiser that coincides with the NHL Heritage Classic Outdoor Hockey game which is being held in Calgary February 20th.
This fundraiser serves two purposes; first to raise funds and second to increase the awareness in our community of the everyday use of the French Language in Canadian pop culture. Many of these hockey players that will be playing in the Heritage Classic are bilingual and the game is not only a celebration of hockey but of the Heritage of our country as well. We're asking for your assistance and support.

Each child/parent is being asked to sell one book of 10 tickets. The tickets are only $2 each. First prize is the picture, second prize is a Tim Hortons gift card and third prize is a Habs hat.

We ask that all tickets and money are returned to the school in a Ziploc bag as soon as they are sold. The draw date and deadline to return these tickets is February 28, 2011. Cheques payable to Ecole Mountainview PAC.

Minors can't sell tickets which means parents must be there with them and do the actual exchange of ticket for money. We encourage you to help your child sell tickets to your friends, family members, and co-workers. Please do not have them sell tickets alone.

Thank you in advance for your support. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Lorelle at blkluss@telus.net or leave a message at the school.

If you wish to have your child not participate please just email Lorelle.
