Bonjour BP families. 

We are almost at spring break! A reminder that students are off this Friday as we have parent teacher interviews. Wishing you and your family a rejuvenating spring break this year, wherever you plan to spend it. 

Semaine de la Francophonie 

Bishop Pinkham French Week 2024 was filled with many new cultural experiences and activities for our school. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your invaluable support, time and dedication. 

Your willingness to volunteer your time and efforts to make French Week a success have not gone unnoticed. Whether you were funding events, helping to organize activity kits for our homerooms, Field Trips, organizing and running cultural activities and special lunches, French Café, photobooths and Sugar Shack, the list goes on! Your contributions have truly made a difference in creating a culturally rich and immersive experience for our students. 

Merci, as you made French Week a memorable and enriching experience our school community and we look forward to continuing to foster a meaningful, positive engagement with our parent community.
