Message to Band C from your French Teachers: Sans surprise, la Foire du livre de la librairie Babar prévue plus tôt en mai a été annulée. Néanmoins, sachez que plusieurs librairies ont rouvert leurs portes et continuent de vendre en ligne. Aux élèves de 5e et 6e année qui recherchent de l’inspiration pour leurs lectures estivales, nous conseillons de jeter un coup d’œil aux suggestions de notre gentille bibliothécaire, Madame Carol-Ann Hoyte. Suggestions de lecture pour les élèves de Band C
