This week’s Throwback Thursday is of EC Montreal’s legendary chocolate festival to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Every year during the week of Valentine’s Day, EC Montreal holds a chocolate festival as our “Taste of Montreal” complimentary activity.
Every table in the student lounge was filled with platters and trays of the sweetest chocolate treats. We had cupcakes, brownies, cookies, cakes, chocolate covered sweets, drinks and so much more! In addition, we would place our chocolate fountain in the center of the room and have skewers of fruit, marshmallows and pound cake for students to dip in the flowing chocolate. The entire school smelled absolutely heavenly! It was so beautiful seeing all our students enjoying the treats while interacting with one another and making friends. These opportunities help students to practice their language skills while having a marvelous time at the school.
In addition to the chocolate festival, EC Montreal would offer other Valentine events to our students. We sold candygrams that were delivered by a singing cupid, we held a love chase activity where students had to find the hidden hearts around the school to win a sweet prize.
All these events communicated one clear message to our students that we love and appreciate them so much!
At EC Montreal we love what we do and we go the extra mile every single day for our students. We want them to know that they are in very caring and supportive hands at EC!
These EC memories really keep us going these days and remind us that the good times we had in the past are not forgotten but something to aspire to and look forward to in the near future. We will be back to creating these memorable experiences for our students through our wonderful school events.
Until then, we will make safety our priority and limit our activity to our EC Montreal classroom bubbles.
