THE RIVER
From Grade 6 French
On November 1st, 2018, twelve grade 6 students in Mme Gagne
and
Mrs. Monias ’class went to Trades and Technology Olympics at
the
TRCC gym. There we were introduced to hairstyling, carpentry,
cooking,
landscaping and many other fun activities. Multiple high school
students
volunteered their time to run these stations. There was also
alight lunch
of pizza and a drink provided. This helped s open our eyes to
see the
things we can do in life like, considering a trade for a job.
There was a
competition to see who could get the most points with all
students com-
bined. Riverside tried very hard but Le Voie du Nord won the
competi-
tion. Each member of La Voie du Nord team received a 5 dollar
gift card,
and another small prize. It would have been nice if all of our
students
could go because it was a nice experience.

It also acceptable to send a note with your child to school

Letterland Party!!! Grade 1 classes from Mme Portey and Mme
Ketch’s class had a Letterland Party November 30th. Letterland is a

songs. Each student dressed up as a character from letterland to
