Students in Grades 7 through 12 went on a group field trip to Wordfest at The Glenbow Museum where they listened to authors Alice Kuipers and David A. Robertson (left) speak about their recently published Young Adult novels ( Me & Me and Strangers ).

Our students were thrilled to meet them, some even brought their own books to be autographed. Alice and David spoke about the writing process of their novels, as well as their careers as writers.

Students were most curious about character development and writing dialogue. Alice Kuipers was generous in giving out tips for aspiring writers, even pointing them to her website where she has even more instructional material. (con't below)
The following day, our elementary students were treated to a visit from Mireille Messier , a francophone author of multiple children's books. Our students were fascinated with her stories about how she came up with the idea for her book "Ma Branche Préférée" - inspired by a heavy snowstorm in her own hometown of Montreal. The students were excited to hear Mireille read them the story and to get her autograph
Has your child always dreamed of studying abroad?
As early as Grade 9, students can study abroad at an AEFE school for periods ranging from 4 weeks to a full academic year.

The best part about this exchange program is that the French curriculum remains unchanged throughout all AEFE network schools.

We are deeply saddened by the news of Gord Downie's passing. He was a true canadian icon who left his mark on our country.
