Every winter, Abbotsford School District French Immersion schools come together to celebrate a beloved tradition that brings warmth, excitement, and cultural appreciation to the chilly months.

This is the look of a victorious team. Team 1 played their first game at Prince Charles and had adjustments to make with the floor, the lighting, and even the bounce to the ball used. They didn’t complain and did the best they were capable of which was very noble of them. This week though, they were able to verse McMillan in their home gym and felt much more confident. We don’t keep score for these elementary games but their confidence was reflected in their play. Great sportsmanship all around!
