Little chefs, big pride! 🥞👨🍳
For La Chandeleur, our PK2 students didn`t just eat crêpes, they mastered the art of making them! 🇫🇷✨
From following the recipe steps to using child-safe knives to slice their own toppings, this was a delicious lesson in autonomy and fine motor skills.
The tasting moment was extra sweet because the children realized that achieving such a delicious result takes time and effort.
We loved seeing how proud they were of their hard work!
A big MERCI to the parents who participated and helped make this tasty tradition come to life. ❤️

Beyond the sugar and chocolate, it was a wonderful moment to gather, share, and feel the warmth of our bilingual family.
A huge merci to the parents and staff who helped serve up smiles (and crêpes) for everyone! 🇫🇷❤️
