BEURLING ACADEMY
Verdun School News would like to extend a special welcome to about 20 students and teachers from Kerrobert Composite School in Saskatchewan as part of that student exchange, in which BA students traveled to Kerrobert last month.
Last night, the Kerrobert students were picked up at the airport by their twinned hosts and brought to the school for a welcome pot luck lunch and got to find out what they will be doing for the week, which will be complete.
The students will be taking in various tourist sights such as the Oratory, the Biodome, Old Montreal, a Chinatown supper, and a day visit to Quebec City. On Wednesday, the students will be sitting in the classrooms to experience life in a big city high school with an assembly in the auditorium. On Monday, they will be serving an Easter turkey dinner to members of the community at one of our local churches.
