French Conversation Group (for parents)

9/30/2015

 
Bonjour les Parents de Tennyson!
Do you speak French? (Un peu? Maybe not for a few years?) Are you interested in practicing your French in a relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere with other Tennyson parents?
Last year I started a French Conversation Group for Tennyson parents. We were a small but friendly group who met to chat in French over coffee once a week (or so) on Friday afternoons. I’d love to continue to run this group this year but we need new people! Don’t be shy!! ;)
If you are interested, please contact me by e-mail. I’m looking forward to meeting you soon!
Au plaisir!

Interested in a house exchange in France in 2016?

9/29/2015

 
It seems as though a French family found our lovely Tennyson website. They asked me to post the following message:

Dear all,

We are a french family with two twin girls of 8 years old. We are living in Annecy - a french nice little town not very far from Geneva.

My two daughters have been both following an english immersion program for 4 years now.

I am currently looking for a Canadian family with children with quite the same age than my daughters (8 years old) and would be interested in making a family exchange for 3-6 months in france. 

We could exchange the house between the both family.

My aim is to make a real english immersion for my both girls.

Please fell free to contact me if you are interested in such an experience ([email protected]) or please forward this email to anybody that could be interested.

The echange period could be between April and Septembre 2016.

Many thanks for your help.

My best regards,
Virginie


Save Our Howl

Picture
The Howl Date is set – Oct 23rd  - but without a team of dedicated coordinators we cannot continue.  It’s been 28 yrs. Please don’t let this ship sink!!!  

The following positions need to be filled by Oct 4th to allow enough time to plan.

Howl Chair (in training)
This position is responsible for ensuring that the Howl in on track and moving forward. Working with other coordinators to make sure they have the resources they need.

Volunteer Coordinators
This position is primarily responsible for volunteer logistics, and recruiting. This position has been greatly simplified with the implementation of division assignments and the on-line sign-up, and now focuses on higher level recruiting, general appeals and data management. Ideally at least one member of this team spends a fair amount of time at the school. 

Communications  Coordinators
This position is mainly responsible for Howl communication both inside and outside the school, including graphics, banners, and e-blasts and in school posters. Suggested assistant positions Graphic Designer.

Site Coordinators
This position is mainly responsible for guiding the set-up of the hallway and rooms. Organizing materials, tools, and lighting. 

Haunted House Creators
Together with Chair and Site Coordinators determine theme for the Haunted House, assist in finding any required props and lead a team of builders to implement the vision.

Front of House Coordinators
Responsible for ticket sales (pre-sales and Howl night), cash handling and security the night of the Howl.

                                MAKE YOUR KIDS PROUD!   BE A HOWL HERO!   JOIN THE TEAM!
