St. David’s Core French students are spreading joy with their language skills this December! During this holiday season, students are creating Joyeux Noël cards to be distributed to a local Long-Term Care home to bring smiles to seniors.

What an excellent way to spread holiday cheer and bring smiles to different folks in the community. Joyeux Noël to all!

On Wednesday, November 27, students from Mrs. Trottier and Mr. Mailloux’s fifth grade social studies classes at St. David Catholic Elementary had the privilege of hosting Mayor Paul Lefebvre in their classroom as part of their studies on local government. 

Principal Dawn Wemigwans described the event as a truly unique experience for St. David Elementary. “Our students were delighted to meet Mayor Lefebvre, whose inspiring life journey and great sense of humour left a lasting impression. His words motivated and encouraged them, making it a memorable day filled with new learning and inspiration.” 

During his visit, Mayor Lefebvre shared his vision for the City of Greater Sudbury, discussed what inspired him to pursue a career in government, and provided insight into his responsibilities as the city’s leader. 

He then opened the floor to questions from the students, which ranged from “What is the hardest part of your job?” to “What is your favorite hockey team?” 

To conclude his visit, the students presented Mayor Lefebvre with a St. David’s T-shirt, officially welcoming him as an honorary Dragon.
