École W.S. Hawrylak Elementary School

Bonne Annee! Bienvenue a l'annee 2010.
Our school recently registered as a member of Canadian Parents of French and as a result we have the use of a Multimedia kit that can be used by parents and teachers. The kit includes books, videos, DVDs, CDs and games - all in French! We have the kit until February 16.

Items may be borrowed by parents for up to two weeks. Parents may borrow up to two items at a time. The items can be used by a variety of ages, but more of the items seem geared for younger students. Items must be returned in the same condition they were received.

To view the items and sign them out, stop by Mme Sabo's office. I'd love to see the material being used!

Here you will find an informal, electronic network for French Immersion Hawrylak parents. Check back frequently as we plan to add more links.

Here is an article on the cognitive and economic benefits of bilingualism from the Canadian Council on Learning, entitled Parlez-vous français? The advantages of bilingualism in Canada.
