Throwback Thursday!

Sharing is caring!

This week’s Throwback Thursday images are that of our wonderful St. Patrick’s day celebrations throughout the years at EC Montreal!  We always made sure to include these festivities in our March calendar of events.  I am sure everyone who studied at EC Montreal remembers that Wednesdays were fun days at EC!  We would hold our complimentary activities that day!  Students would have something new and exciting to look forward to on Wednesdays after class.

Most of the activities were centered around our monthly themes; the month of March was dedicated to maple season in Quebec, however, we always made sure to also celebrate St. Patrick’s Day the week of March 17.

We would ask our students to come to school wearing green and would decorate the student lounge with banners, balloons, shamrocks and center pieces.  We would serve green non-alcoholic beer and hot dogs right off the grill.  Sometimes we would even find special St. Patrick’s Day cakes to serve to our students.  The students would have such a marvelous time and we would invite them to participate in Montreal’s annual St. Patrick’s Day parade that runs along Ste-Catherine street right outside the EC Montreal school.  Montreal’s parade is the second largest in North America, second to New York’s.

This year, we still managed to celebrate this special day by distributing green cupcakes to our students in their classroom. Many of our students and staff members wore green to add to the celebration!  Social gatherings are still not allowed in the province of Quebec.  Once we are given the green light, we cannot wait to start planning outings and activities with our EC Montreal students again!

We look back at these Throwback Thursday images nostalgically, but also with hope that these happy days and wonderful moments will be back one day soon!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from all of us at EC Montreal!
