École Saint Michel opened its doors to celebrate its 200th anniversary. Under the theme „Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow,” they invited everyone to a celebration where past and present generations could meet and reminisce about the defining moments of two centuries of history and learning. Sister Marie Annick fcJ participated in the celebration and writes about it here.
On this May 12th, we are celebrating our school, Saint Michel, because our school is a venerable institution—yes, it’s 200 years old! The first boarding school for girls was located right here.
We began this day of commemoration, celebrating this bicentennial with joy and reflection, to pass on the past, support the present, and build the future.
After the celebration, everyone was welcomed with a light breakfast. Then, the children worked in teams, playing a quiz to learn about our school, with the help of the teachers.
A tour of the school followed, with alumnae of Saint Michel sharing memories of the boarders. It was fun… We enjoyed an aperitif and a shared meal.
In the afternoon, the children played various games in teams (like tug-of-war and relay races). Around 4:00 pm we sang a final song with gestures, and a group photo was taken by a drone.
A wonderful day and a warm welcome from the entire Saint Michel team. A big thank you to everyone.
