On April 20th the ETSB stars shone bright as over 100 students either performed on stage or had their videos showcased at the 4th Annual Show Your Talent Gala, held at the Massey-Vanier Auditorium

Live performances shared the stage with the big screen, featuring videos that covered topics such as drop out prevention, school promotion, advertising, McCarthyism, the Plains of Abraham, and a joint project between an English and French elementary school.
This year’s performers danced into the hearts of the audience, sang some original songs and tickled the ivories like true professionals! The evening was kept on track by the emcees, 4 secondary five students from Alexander Galt Regional, Massey-Vanier and Richmond Regional High schools.
For an overview of the show, take a look at this year's video….
 

For the past 25 years, two school boards have been sharing a building, a school principal and working together every day to ensure the success of the students of Sutton School from both the Val-des-Cerfs and the Eastern Townships School Boards. The masterminds of this unique partnership, which was officialised on April 14^th 1987, and those that continue to ensure its success, were gathered this morning to celebrate the 25^th anniversary of the coexistence of an Anglophone and Francophone school under one roof.

Sutton School...

On April 24^th, the Council of Commissioners of the Eastern Townships School Board (ETSB) unanimously and enthusiastically formalized a partnership with the Fondation Christian Vachon to help students in need in the five schools located in the Memphremagog MRC.

Starting in the 2012-2013 school year, students whose request for help is approved by the Fondation Christian Vachon will receive one or several of the services offered by the Foundation, namely a lunch box service, school supplies, clothing or payment for extra-curricular activities.

Host families rock!

Becoming a host family can be a very rewarding experience for you and your family. Life-long relationships are forged when you open your home and heart to a student from abroad. If you can provide a safe and caring environment, a private room, three meals a day and are interested in sharing our local culture and communities, then you are an ideal candidate! Host families are compensated for room and board.

For more information on how to apply to become a member of our ETSB International Host Family network, please contact Roxane Bilodeau at (819) 868-3138 or email bilodeaur@etsb.qc.ca
