Grace Olive, Grade 2 student at St. Bernadette Catholic French Immersion School, proudly waves the Franco-Ontarian flag she created in honour of La Journee Internationale de la Francophonie on March 20, 2012. St. Bernadette celebrated this day by highlighting the French language and culture through a variety of educational activities including: dancing and singing along to traditional Francophone music, sampling home made culinary French treats like “la sucre a creme” and “les petes de soeurs”, and wearing green and white (the official colours of the Franco-Ontarian flag). The celebration ended in the gym with the students coming together to cheer, “Le francais est une chance!”
