Hé Ho: Encore!

On Friday, March 20, George Waters Middle School hosted Festival du George Waters. This is an event that celebrates the Voyageur and Francophone culture right here in Manitoba. (And it just happened to take place on International Francophonie Day!)  Instead of heading to Voyageur Park in February like the grade 9s did this year, they held their own event so the entire staff and student body can participate. The grade 9 French students were part of the organizing team for the Festival du George Waters. There was a full day of events for all grade 6, 7 and 8 students including lacrosse, leg wrestling, photo booth, enjoying crepes and "tire d'érable" (maple taffy), voyageur games, bingo and art activities (ceinture fléchée "weaving" and making yarn wrapped talking sticks). Bon festival! #hehogwms
