Learning in Limestone - Ecole J.R. Henderson P.S. Wax Museum
The Henderson Wax Museum showcases communities from Early Canada.
French Immersion students research and select a community that they wish to represent. The bilingual speech is usually written in first person and students take on the persona of a character from the time period (wearing a costume and holding an artifact that represents the community). Students will hold a pose and have a circle of paper on the floor in front of them. Once the circle is tapped or touched , the statue (student) comes alive and delivers the prepared speech. Once finished speaking the statue resumes the pose and waits for the next visitor.
Beyond Classrooms

Why Kingston?
Kingston is a central point for exploring three must see Canadian cities: Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa, and it was chosen as the first capital of Canada on February 15, 1841, and served in that role until 1844, when the capital was moved to Ottawa.
Known as the “Limestone City,” Kingston boasts many grand old buildings constructed from local limestone, including City Hall and the Frontenac County Court House, which was originally intended to house Canada’s Parliament.
The city’s setting is appealing to visitors and residents alike, located on three bodies of water. Kingston sits on the shore of Lake Ontario, where visitors can enjoy blue waters and skies along lakeside paths, or rent sailboats and kayaks. It’s also at the inlet of the St. Lawrence River, and a departure point for boat cruises to Thousand Islands National Park. The Rideau Canal, a UNESCO designated World Heritage site, also begins in Kingston.
Twenty-one National Historic Sites of Canada are located in Kingston, including Fort Henry, built during the War of 1812 to protect Kingston from potential attacks from the United States.

Learning in Limestone - Frontenac SS Shopify Badge Program - May 2019
Students at Frontenac Secondary School are receiving a designation to create Shopify websites.
The Shopify Badge Program is the first of its kind in the world. The three-stage process gives recognition to students that have the ability to set up a Shopify site and take it to live on the web.
Frontenac Secondary students are the first high school students to partner with St. Lawrence College and receive the same designation. They were again amazed at the opportunity to design a Shopify site, that asked students to meet strict criteria in order to earn a badge. It has been so successful that two students have taken their stores live, and are receiving income from their stores.
Frontenac SS is the first high school in the world to receive this designation. The school is extremely honoured to have St. Lawrence College and program-founder Professor Pam Armstrong include high school students in this groundbreaking idea.

Quebec City
Quebec (/kɨˈbɛk/; French: Québec [kebɛk] ( )), also Québec, Quebec City, or Québec City (French: Ville de Québec), is the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec. As of 2011 the city has a population of 516,622, and the metropolitan area has a population of 765,706, making it the second most populous city in Quebec after Montreal, which is about 233 km (145 mi) to the southwest.
The narrowing of the Saint Lawrence River proximate to the city's promontory, Cap-Diamant (Cape Diamond), and Lévis, on the opposite bank, provided the name given to the city, Kébec, an Algonquin word meaning where the river narrows. Founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec) are the only fortified city walls remaining in the Americas north of Mexico, and were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the 'Historic District of Old Québec'.
