(Sherbrooke, Que. – June 25) – On May 29 Le Salésien of Sherbrooke’s outstanding students were recognized at the school’s annual award’s night, the Gala of Excellence.

FR: Vers la fin de l’année scolaire au Séminaire Salésien, c’est une tradition que la classe des finissants plantent un arbre sur le terrain de l’école afin de rappeler aux générations futures leur présence de cinq ans dans cette institution scolaire, sauvegardant ainsi la mémoire de leur séjour dans cette maison salésienne.

 

At the end of the school year at Le Salésien, it is a tradition for the graduating class to plant a tree on the school campus to recall for future generations of students their five-year presence in this Salesian work. As the tree grows in height and strength, so at university or in employment they will grow in knowledge and maturity . Some alumni who come back to visit in later years want to see “their tree.”

 

FR: Un arbre qui va croître en hauteur et en robustesse en même temps qu’eux, ailleurs, dans des institutions supérieures d’éducation ou dans le monde du travail, grandiront en science, en “âge et en sagesse”. Certains anciens élèves qui visitent l’école dans les années subséquentes aiment aller saluer  “leur arbre”.
