Voici Shana et Catherine qui font le calendrier du matin. Shana présente les cartons de température. Est-ce qu'il fait froid? et Catherine demande : Qu’'est-ce qu'il y a de spécial, dans le mois de mars ? Et cela se fait pour chacun des mois de l'année.

Elle vivait a Naramata. Puis elle avait une petite lapine qui aimait de sauver tous les jours a midi. Un jour, Marianne a décidé qu'elle allait la suivre. A la fin du chemin, elle a trouvé

°° ‘ » _ °°, NEWS IN BRIEF *e, English section e° Francophone school in Kelowna

“ecoccceccee®®” Finally the Francophone school has opened its doors in Kelowna. Thanks to the unrelenting work of the parents, the Francophone community and the Conseil scolaire francophone, it is now a reality. The first month of implementation is already over. The school opened on September 8, 1998 with 45 childrenregistered. Such a high number for the first year of the school existence is quite a wonder. To find a name for the school, parents, children and the Francophone community at large participated to a contest in September. We do not have the results yet. The first year will be quite a challenge ! it will allow the Francophone new generation in Kelowna to get a sense of belonging and develop in its surroundings. Pierre Crevier, Principal. An open evening is sheduled on October 28 from 7: 00 pm to 8:30 pm.
