Grosse Ile School Kindergarten has a Mascot! Our kindergarten at Grosse Ile has had a mascot for the last two years. We decided to get a mascot to help us tell about our community to everyone that meets us. Our mascot is a lobster. We chose him because lobster fishing is the biggest industry in Grosse Ile, Magdalen Islands (QC) and the children named him Larry the Lobster.

Last year Larry visited Forestburg Elementary in Forestburg, Alberta to tell another kindergarten class about our class and our community. We had a visit from their Melvin the Moose and learned all about our new friends. This year Larry visited North Carolina and a grade one-two class. We met them when we were doing a pumpkin seed count project and ad skyped them. We sent them Larry and some letters so they could learn more about us. Larry arrived back just in time to celebrate our 100th day of school in February when we celebrated with a kindergarten class from Webster, Texas and shared our favorite 100 day activities and read stories about Dr. Seuss' birthday. It is easy to see why the class loves their mascot and how they love to share him with others.
