coordinators to Parents’ Committees last
Fall. Some members of the Board of
Directors such as the President, Martine

The main objectives of the visit were to
inform and make the parents aware of the

that can be offered. Among the services
the Association will offer in Spring on site

culture at school to school governance.

During the visits sometimes School’s
Administrators joined parents as well as
teachers.

We want to thank you for your warm
welcome.

The Centre scolaire communautaire Society
have submitted the project to the School Board and
the Ministry of Education. The project is aimed at
the use of a school presently unoccupied to open a
centre and is backed up by the School Board. The
last step before cheering is to obtain the support of
the Trustees. The whole thing is of course subject
to an adequat financing from the Ministry of
Education and the Federal Government. The first
round is over, the members of the Society and the
Project Coordinator Michel Goudreault deserve
our congratulations. Carry on!
