French Catholic School Board Welcoming Students to Kindergarten Early

The local French Catholic school board's looking to introduce new students to their schools.

Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon says it's holding its annual Welcome to Kindergarten event at Wawa's Ecole St-Joseph at 1:30 this afternoon, with similar events at Dubreuilville's Ecole Saint-Joseph on June 21st and Chapleau's Ecole Sacre-Coeur on June 22nd.

It's meant to promote a smooth transition to Kindergarten - including several activities for children and parents - with parents to also receive important information about speech development, social and daycare services, the gentle beginnings schedule, and school transportation.

(Story edited to reflect that Ecole Sacre-Coeur’s event will be held June 22nd, not June 24th.
