(Embrun) – The Upper Canada District School Board today issued a news release to correct misleading media reports regarding Cambridge Public School in Embrun.

“Some media have mistakenly reported that students will not be able to celebrate Canadian traditions at this time of year.  The truth is a number of activities are planned including the Christmas tree decorating contest, a family craft evening complete with a drumming session and carol sing-along,” clarified Director of Communications Terry Simzer.

And once again, students will visit a local seniors’ residence to sing carols.

The only change is that the annual school concert has been postponed to February to ensure that all students have the opportunity to prepare for and participate in that presentation.  This decision supports inclusivity…it demonstrates respect for all cultures.
