Nous avons le regret de voir partir, pour une autre province, notre
extraordinaire responsable des levées de fonds a la Société
d’éducation Gareau, Rachelle Ferron. Grace a son sens de
organisation, sa détermination et son travail, M™ Ferron a permis
de faire de chaque levée de fonds un grand succés et de chaque
événement social le plaisir des jeunes et de leur famille. M™ Ferron
est notre lauréate du prix bénévole de l’année 2004-2005. Bonne
chance Rachelle, bonne continuité et nous te disons tous merci !

Parmi les projets présentés cette année par les enseignants et la
direction, la SEG pourra subventionner entre autre, des instruments
de musique, de |’équipement de camping et de l’équipement de
gymnase. Notre prochaine et derniére levée de fond d’importance
sera la vente de chocolat. Parents-bénévoles nous avons besoin de
vous ! Sans Rachelle, plus que jamais.

Quelques parents ont bravé les pluies torrentielles pour assister a la
réunion de parents du 18 janvier dernier. La direction a proposé

We are sad to see the departure of our SEG fundraiser extraordinaire,
Rachelle Ferron, who is moving to another province. Thanks to her
organizational skills, her determination, and her hard work, Mme
Ferron made every fundraiser a successful, fun-filled event enjoyed
by students and their families alike. Mme Ferron is our 2004-2005
Volunteer of the Year. Best of luck, Rachelle, and our heartfelt thanks!

The SEG has been able to fund some of the projects submitted by
school administrators and teachers. The monies have been used to
purchase more musical instruments, camping equipment, and sports
equipment.

deux projets pilotes. Des cours d’été de rattrapage
et/ou d’enrichissement, et un partenariat avec la
Société Maillardville-Uni. Les parents ont accueilli
les propositions avec enthousiasme et souhaitent que
ces initiatives permettent a notre école de grandir.

Our next and final major fundraising event will be
the chocolate sales. Parent volunteers—we need you!
And without Rachelle...we need you more than ever!

Several parents braved a torrential downpour to
attend the parents’ meeting on January 18. The
administration proposed two pilot projects—summer
remedial and/or enrichment courses, and a
partnership with Société Maillardville-Uni. Parents
were enthusiastic about the proposals and hope that
these initiatives will help our school to expand.

PEMBERTON — NEw PROGRAM

ENGLISH VERSION

Signal Hill Elementary School in Pemberton Valley, which
opened at the beginning of this academic year with students
from Kindergarten to Grade 7, made a name for itself with
an outstanding Christmas show. This was indeed a new
direction for Signal Hill School, welcoming a francophone
school to its community. Parents and friends enjoyed the
songs, dances, and play that united the young and not-so-

young in an atmosphere of peace and joy. The francophone
community will continue to host its monthly evening of
French-language films. This event is open to the public.

Finally, thanks to all of the parents and children for their
efforts for the success that we all appreciate. Congratulations!
Keep up the good work!
