Excitement filled the halls of St. James as students and staff commemorated Franco-Ontarian culture on Sept. 25.

The school’s primary French Immersion students had an unforgettable experience, from mastering the art of baking ‘Pouding au chomeur’ to crafting a Franco-Ontarian flag adorned with their colorful handprints. The celebration continued with a lively dance party set to the rhythm of French music. Meanwhile, other classes proudly displayed their support for French culture and language by donning green and white attire and participating in a variety of engaging French-themed activities.

It was a day filled with appreciation and celebration of the Franco-Ontarian heritage.
