Classe Rouge 2012

Posted on September 13, 2012 by admin

Hier matin, nous sommes arrivés à Jouvence pour la classe rouge. On était tous très excités! L’endroit où on dort s’appelle D’jouv, c’est grand et coloré. Dans chaque chambre, il y a quatre ou six personnes. Nous étions contents de savoir qui était dans notre chambre. J’ai fait un rallye GPS pendant l’après-midi. Il faut que tu trouves des objets dans la forêt. Le soir, nous avons fait un gros feu, chanté des chansons et écouté des histoires. J’ai hâte de faire d’autres activités amusantes aujourd’hui! — Charlotte Heward ’19

MS Pride présentations

Posted on September 11, 2012 by admin

Bonjour, je m’appelle Dylan Theriault-Harris et cette année, je suis responsable de la communication au Middle School Pride. Le Middle School Pride est un comité qui se réunit chaque mercredi à 7h30. Nous discutons et planifions des activités pour les 7e et 8e.

Premièrement, je veux créer une meilleure communication entre les étudiants et les représentants du Middle School Pride. J’atteindrai mon but en créant des enquêtes, des annonces et un forum public.

Secondly, I would like to organize lunchtime activities such as dodgeball, basketball and soccer. These activities could take place either in the Junior Gym, the Velan Gym or outside. In conclusion, I want to help make your year memorable. If you have any questions or comments, please don’t be shy to contact me by email ([email protected]) or approach me in the halls. — Dylan Theriault-Harris ’16

YPI – Share the Warmth

Posted on August 30, 2012 by admin

What does it feel like to help others? That was a question that our advisory, Harper 10, knew the answer to, but never actually understood until the day we went to Share the Warmth. It was there that we really began to feel good about ourselves. We knew that we were making a significant difference in other peoples lives, whether it was carrying boxes, tidying up a room, helping in a second hand store, or doing something as simple as mopping a floor.

For the two hours we were at Share the Warmth, we always had something to do. The staff even thanked us, saying that we had really helped them do things that they had kept putting off because they had other jobs to do first. We were able to see the people who went to Share the Warmth and how grateful they were. Performing community service at Share the Warmth has certainly made us aware that not everyone is as well off as we are and how we should help them as much as we can. – Adrien Perlinger ’14

Classe Verte – Day One: Busy!

Posted on May 31, 2012 by admin

The first day of Classe Verte was a success! Upon arrival, the children participated in a treasure hunt followed by a delicious pizza lunch with fries and salad. In the afternoon, children enjoyed archery, rock climbing, BMX biking and the Tarzan swing! Afterwards, grade four had a wonderful surprise… Water slides! For dinner we were served burritos, soup and salad. Then, after a group game outdoors, it was off to the campfire. Roasting marshmallows, telling stories and singing songs were the highlights. We can’t wait for tomorrow with so many more activities. — Sarah Kingsley, Grade 4 Teacher

Hockey de Rue

Posted on May 28, 2012 by admin

On the Victoria Day weekend, a group of LCC students put a team together for a ball hockey tournament called Hockey de Rue. The Montreal Canadiens sponsored it and the money raised went to the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation.

We competed against Loyola, Selwyn House, Kuper Academy and many more schools. Our team got off to a slow start by tying our first two games. We won our last and final round-robin game and we placed 8^th in the playoff rankings, which meant we had to play the 1^st place team.

We pulled off the upset and moved on to the semi-finals. We won a tight game against MNP and met Kuper in the final. We went down by two goals early in the game but with the competitive drive of our team, we managed to tie up the game. At the end of the 3^rd period the game was tied 4-4. We went into overtime thanks to the outstanding goaltending of Jordan Itzkovitz ’13. Five minutes into overtime, Nathanael Niedermann ’12 scored to win the game for us!

After a beautiful day of ball hockey, we were awarded the trophy for winning the tournament and another trophy for raising the most money. Our team raised a total of $11, 219!—Giordano Saputo ’13
