Among these texts, three drew attention for the national compilation. The name of the award-winning students, for the 2020-2021 edition, was unveiled during the recognition activity on April 13, as a preamble to the General Adult Education (FGA) week which was held from April 19 to 23. 2021 under the theme “The FGA, a teaching with many faces”.

Annie Lopez Sarmiento’s text My first christmas received a special mention in the Francization category, supported by its teacher Huguette Lavoie.
Remember that the competition was organized by the Federation of Teaching Unions (FSE-CSQ), in collaboration with the Centrale des unions du Québec (CSQ). The 18th edition of the writing competition again counted as spokesperson the author Mr. David Goudreault, also a novelist, poet, playwright and slammer.
According to the president of the Drummondville region education union, Guy Veillette, the competition sheds light on the general adult education sector, which is unfortunately unknown to the population and decision-makers. “The FGA is a pillar of educational success in Quebec and constitutes an important element of the Quebec education system”
Recognition activity

The pandemic hasn’t stopped students from getting involved. They attended the colorful and musical virtual activity in large numbers. It is important to underline the collaboration of Kévin Paradis, piano virtuoso and Patrick Rioux and Francis Mathieu for their contribution to lighting and multimedia production.
The competition could not maintain this enthusiasm from year to year if it weren’t for the commitment of its teaching team, who once again this year received the Coup de Pouce prize underlining involvement, commitment and creativity. of the whole school team.
It should be noted the tremendous work of the two devoted teachers of CFGA Sainte-Thérèse in promoting this competition: Huguette Lavoie and Pierre Lavigne. (EL)
