The Citadelle

Quebec Trip End Day 2

Hello all,
Just wanted to send out a final notice for the night. Everything at the Sugar Shack went great. Outside of it being a little warm the students enjoyed eating traditional food as a fiddler played away up in front. The students and teachers couldn't contain their excitement and soon enough a group of them were on the dance floor dancing a jig.
The students were very respectful and have been very well behaved. They are all in quiet and in their rooms as of now, ready and excited for tomorrow.

Kind Regards,

Mr. Sweezey and the FHS team
