Riverside School Board warmly thanks everyone who took part in the groundbreaking ceremony for the REACH School project on March 11 at Saint-Lambert International High School. Whether through your presence, support, or commitment, you helped make this event an unforgettable moment for our community.

This long-awaited project would not be possible without the collaboration and dedication of so many—students, families, staff, partners, and allies. Your involvement reflects the collective importance we place on education and the well-being of our students.

A special thank you to Mme Isabelle Poulet, MNA for Laporte, and Mme Pascale Mongrain, Mayor of Saint-Lambert, for joining us in marking this important milestone.

We would also like to extend our gratitude to Virginia, a student at the school, who impressed us all with her inspiring speech.

Thank you to everyone for sharing this exciting step forward for the future of REACH School!

We are thrilled to see the long-awaited REACH Project finally coming to life. This school has been a dream for our community, and it’s incredible to watch it become a reality. So many dedicated individuals have poured their hearts into this project—countless hours of hard work, including volunteer efforts, have made this moment possible.
Our students will now benefit from all that commitment and passion. We are proud to serve the neurodivergent community with our dedicated team of teachers, specialists, technicians, and attendants. We know that an incredible student life awaits them at this new school, and we can’t wait to see them thrive.
