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. ❤️

Crêpes, culture, and community! 🥞✨
The Englewood campus was filled with the sweet scent of tradition as we celebrated La Chandeleur!
Students of all ages immersed themselves in this beloved French custom, enjoying delicious treats while learning about the history behind the holiday.
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! 🇫🇷❤️
