La Petite Ecole students have been partaking in a weekly ritual: each week they pick a color. They then dress using clothes of that color, and engage in an array of activities in that palette to learn the different colors of the rainbow.
Last week, La Petite Ecole embraced the color red. Read more about the educational advantages of this fun color-focused approach for our youngest students.

At LFSF, keeping our students safe is our priority and their wellness, our focus. During the month of October, our teams, led by our wellness coordinator, work on bringing awareness to the importance of promoting wellbeing and preventing self-harm. Making sure that we promote empathy and dialog is essential in this approach.
