¡ Feliz Día de Mu***os ! 🌺🕯️

From the drummers on the ASH campus, to the fierce tigers on the SAU campus, the entire Lycée is wishing you a Happy Halloween. A big thank you again to the Parent Association for building the best Haunted Houses to date on our primary campuses.

Last night, the middle schoolers had a Halloween dance entirely organized by the high schoolers. 🎃👻 It was the perfect chance to dress up and have a great time with friends!🕺

This week, we welcomed Vince Yeun from Refuse Refuse San Francisco, who inspired our students to participate in neighborhood cleanups by discussing recycling, effective practices, and better habits.🧹💚

The students were very engaged and showed a lot of interest in the topic. They asked great questions and shared their own experiences with litter and recycling. ♻️

Proud to say our LFSF students have already made a difference with cleanups at Crissy Field and Ocean Beach this year! Let’s keep it going! 💪♻️

This morning, our students participated in the X-Lycée at Kezar Stadium, which included K to Gr5 students from both the ASH and SAU campuses, along with Gr6 students from the ORT campus.

The goal was for students to learn to run at their own pace, understand their abilities, and recognize their limits.

Friendships were built, and teamwork was highlighted with high fives at the finish line, showing that cooperation matters alongside competition.
We want to congratulate all the runners—students, parents, teachers, and staff—for their dedication and effort !

During , Gr 8 students took part in a unique escape game called "Ocean de savoirs". The goal was to promote scientific culture 🔬 and challenge common misconceptions about science, helping students think critically. They had a lot of fun following the different clues... and finding the lock code ! 🔓🤩

Last Sunday LFSF’s LEAF club (Lycée Environmental Action Force) held a neighborhood cleanup at Duboce Park. Our members collected 3 ½ bags of trash!

Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to a cleaner and greener city !

LEAF Club 💚

A big shout out to the LEAF Club for creating this social media post

Bike (or Walk) and Roll to School is the best way to start the day with a smile! 🚴‍♂️✨
This initiative is all about teaching kids safety lessons : they learn why it’s essential to wear a yellow jacket for visibility and a helmet for protection. It also helps them understand how eco-friendly transportation can make a positive impact on our environment.

On our primary campuses, our students and families now come on their own power, at least once a month! A big thanks to the parent organizers!

It’s World Teachers' Day ! Today, we honor them ! 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫

Through their compassion, patience, and dedication, they inspire our students to reach their full potential. 🌟
They are the backbone of our school, and our success is built on their passion and commitment, especially in our bilingual and multilingual environment, which brings its own challenges! 🌍📚

We are grateful for the care they provide to their students, the resilience they demonstrate, and the countless ways they enhance our community.

What a joy it is to reconnect with our alumni !
It’s always a blast reliving those unforgettable school days, allowing our alumni to share experiences and reflect on how the excellent education they received at the Lycée shaped their lives and careers! Once a Lycée Bear, always a Lycée Bear!

Our GR5 students are exploring Quebec’s history 🇨🇦, nature, and culture—all in French ! They went hiking, built a treehouse 🌳, and visited Montmorency Falls 🌊. They toured the Château de Frontenac 🏰 and enjoyed lunch at the Plains of Abraham. At the Wendake ecomuseum, they learned about Huron-Wendat heritage and had a blast at the Circus School! 🎪 They’re thriving and making new friends along the way ! ✨

At the Lycée, we focus on encouraging exploration, building community, and creating experiences that help our students grow and thrive.
