Festival Du Voyageur Day

Fun was had by all on Friday March 1 as we held a "Festival du Voyaguer" day at our school for the K-4 students. The students spent the morning moving to different stations like "dress like a voyaguer", toboganning and dancing and singing to the fiddle and french songs. In the afternoon we had two performers come and entertain us! First was a storyteller named TiBert le Voyageur who taught us about the history of the voyageurs and what they used to do in their day to day life. We were then entertained by Emelie Chartier and her amazing fiddle playing. Everyone was clapping to the beat and enjoyed every bit of her performance. Thank You to everyone who dressed up and to all the teachers who made each station so much fun for everyone! I wonder what theme we will do next year!!
