For the second year, the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board is joining nearly a dozen other organizations and agencies with a vested interest in education, to promote an anti-dropout program – Hooked on School Days – which encourages students to continue their studies, rather than quitting school.

Mille-Îles Liberal MNA Francine Charbonneau says Quebec will spend $1,138,629 making sure the primary and high schools in her riding are well-maintained in the coming years. The government has set aside $366.4 for maintenance at primary and high schools across Quebec in 2011 and 2012.

Crowning achievement
“We are here to crown the effort, the perseverance and the talent of several hundred young people and adults,” said Collège Montmorency executive-director Denyse Blanchet.

Better eco-management
Students from Laval Liberty High School and from Souvenir Elementary School were present for a ceremony held on Nov. 15 in the gym at Souvenir Elementary, during which Mayor Gilles Vaillancourt gave them large framed certificates attesting to their responsibility in environmental management.

The Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board (SWLSB) is pleased to announce the nomination of Mr. Robert Vallerand as Interim Director General.

Despite $110 million in budget cuts ordered by Quebec from the province’s English-language school boards, the rationalization is expected to have little impact on existing resources and programs at the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board during the coming school year, says board chairman Steve Bletas.
