Parents volunteers will bring the crêpes to our school on Saturday morning before class.  All the crêpes can be delivered to our volunteers’ table at the entrance of the school.
Parents volunteers will bring the crêpes to each teacher and students will enjoy their crêpes with their class during their break.

Special Considerations:

• If your child has allergies, please provide crêpes specifically for them, and indicate their name and class when dropping them off.
• Note any allergy-related information on the Signup Genius to ensure everyone is aware of the “special” crêpes we’ll be preparing.

Let’s come together to make this Crêpes Day a roaring success! Your participation is key to creating lasting memories for our little ones. Merci beaucoup ! 🇫🇷

Rosée à la Chandeleur, hiver à sa dernière heure!
Dew on Candlemas, winter at its final hour!

La Chandeleur or Candlemas is a holiday taking place each year on February 2. It is also called Fête des Lumières and celebrates the approaching Spring.

It is customary to eat crêpes as their round form reminds of the sun and the wheat symbolizes prosperity. It is a holiday about rebirth, hope and prosperity. As with its American cousin Groundhog Day, you can do some fortune telling about the remaining length of the winter but also try to guess  your future wealth for the upcoming year. Try holding a coin in your left hand while you flip your crêpe!

Bonne fête de la Chandeleur!
