To celebrate its 25th anniversary, L’École catholique organized the Smiles Challenge: a highly original contest that brought out over 3,600 creative smiles in its schools over the past few weeks! This great participation testifies to the joy, excitement and sense of well-being in more than 300 schools in Ontario’s eight French-language Catholic school boards.

“The Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon, along with the seven other French-language Catholic school boards in Ontario, is delighted with the great participation of its school community. Our students have once again demonstrated their boundless creativity, an essential skill for success. We encourage our families and the general public to recognize this creativity by voting for their favourite creations,” said Ms. Suzanne Salituri, Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon President.

It’s time to vote!

Students, staff and the general public are now invited to visit the L’École catholique website to vote for their favourite “smile” among the 12 finalists from their school board. It will be possible to vote once a day for one “smile” per school board until May 7.

Prizes

Thanks to your votes, three classes from each school board will win a prize of up to $300 towards a health and wellness activity or field trip. Spread the word to your friends, family and social networks!
