The new Campbellton K–8 school opening this fall will be called Restigouche River School. The Anglophone North School District is thrilled about this name, chosen from 355 submissions, which reflects the community’s connection, resilience, and pride.

The modern facility, located on Arran Street next to Sugarloaf Senior High School, will replace Campbellton Middle School and Lord Beaverbrook School. It will provide students with inspiring spaces to learn, create, and grow, including classrooms, art and music rooms, science labs, a gym, and a cafeteria.

Franco Nord marked a fantastic success as the first major event organized by ASDN in partnership with the Centre of Excellence for Language Learning (COELL), bringing together Grade 8 students for a full day of immersive French experiences.

The day was filled with energy, enthusiasm, and discovery, as students engaged in a variety of activities designed to build confidence, spark curiosity, and celebrate the value of learning a second language in meaningful and enjoyable ways.

The event began with a heartfelt and inspiring message from Véronique Arsenault, who spoke about the importance and long-term benefits of learning a second language. Her words helped set the tone for a day focused on exploration, connection, and cultural appreciation.

Throughout the day, students selected two workshops from six engaging options: Art and Music, Perfect Parfait, Sugar Shack, Yoga, Mini-Drones, and the Loup-garou game. These sessions offered something for every interest, allowing students to explore French through creative expression, hands-on learning, movement, and play.

The day concluded on a high note with a special cultural experience featuring performances by Jacques Surrett and Denis Surett, bringing everyone together in a memorable and unifying celebration of music and language.

Overall, Franco Nord was an inspiring and dynamic celebration of language and culture that left a lasting impression on all involved.

February is Black History Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the history, contributions, and lived experiences of Black communities in New Brunswick and across Canada.

Learning about Black history helps create inclusive learning environments where students feel a sense of belonging and respect. These learning opportunities encourage empathy, critical thinking, and an understanding of diverse perspectives, while supporting meaningful conversations about identity, equity, and social responsibility.

Throughout the month, schools are encouraged to engage students in age-appropriate learning that highlights Black voices, leadership, and resilience, both past and present. This work helps ensure that learning spaces reflect the diversity of our communities and the experiences of all learners.

As a district, we are committed to creating welcoming, respectful, and supportive schools where every student feels seen and valued. Black History Month provides an important opportunity to reinforce that commitment through learning, reflection, and celebration.
