*************************
This year, with gatherings not being possible, Blind River’s French-langue Catholic school is hosting virtual celebrations via the Microsoft Teams platform and putting the electronic whiteboards to good such. With students and staff celebrating every month various holidays and successes, the festive spirit is stronger than ever at École Saint-Joseph.
 
To reinforce the feeling of solidarity, each class decorates their learning space according to the occasion. On Franco-Ontarians' Day, each grade level created its own flag to display their pride.

On Halloween, students paraded in front of the camera to show off their beautiful costumes as well as their classroom’s spooky decor. More recently, on Remembrance Day, each group created a memorial bulletin board to honour the soldiers.
 
Despite the challenges, École Saint-Joseph wishes to highlight these important moments in a new way and to create new traditions. It is by coming together and maintaining these bonds uniting us that we can build our identity.
