What a great day we had! The Hockey Hall of fame, the Old Spaghetti Factory, Nathan Phillip's Square, Ripley's Aquarium, The CN Tower and dinner at Medieval Times were amazing! The kids had a really memorable day.
Here are some pictures!
Oh and by the way, Marie-Charlotte was chosen Queen of Beauty and Love by the Green Knight at Medieval Times!

The 2018 trip program
The students will be leaving Québec on Tuesday April 3, 2017 around 9 p.m. This year's trip includes a day in Toronto as well as a day in Niagara Falls on April 4 and 5. They will travel back to Québec on Friday, April 6 to arrive late in the evening. This year's detailed program, as planned by Omnitour, is available below. Please note that changes can occur since the booking of all activities is not fully completed.
The price 2018
This year's trip should cost $469. This cost may vary a bit following the complete reservation of all activities. We also have to take into consideration the financial support from Club Richelieu, which allows to subtract $52 to the cost of each participant. These expenses are not to be covered by the parents.
A part of the sum will be collected through the organisation of three (3) fundraising activities.
Details about each activity are provided in the section below.
The remaining amount will have to be collected by each participant through their personal initiative,
which can be anything from helping around the house, to babysitting, to making things and selling them or starting their own online business!
The idea will have to be approved by the selection committee.

order books. The orders will be delivered directly at ESJB in the next weeks.
20% of the profits made will help to finance a part of the trip of each participant.

healthy habits!

in the gymnasium of ESJB. The whole family and friends are invited!

The selection criteria 2018
A maximum of 48 students will take part of the trip this year. A selection will have to be made. To make it easier and clearer, we have developed this selection form. From the first week of school, students were informed of the values of the trip and of all the selection criteria. This document was also presented in class to the students in September and to their parents during the informative meeting held on September 14, 2017.
The first step of the selection process is filming the motivation video. This will be done entirely at school, at the same time for all interested students. All students will receive the questions 3 days before the filming. The filming of the motivation video will be done on October 20. The questionnaire will be distributed on October 17.
The students will be informed of the details in class and the different steps of the process will be posted on the Home Page of this website.
