Roslyn Elementary School, located in Westmount (a suburb of Montreal), Quebec, Canada, is a coeducational public school for children between kindergarten and grade six. The school opened in September 1908 and is currently operated by the English Montreal School Board (EMSB). Roslyn offers bilingual education in English and French; the school introduced its French Immersion Program in 1968, the first on the island of Montreal.〔Doreen Lindsay (5 March 2009), ("Rothman recalls pioneering language program." ) ''Westmount Examiner'' (Westmount), retrieved 23 September 2013.〕 Classrooms are equipped with a SMARTboard. In September 2014, the school opened its new technology lab with seed funding from a 2013-14 Future Shop Future Generation Tech Lab Grant〔(18 September 2013) ("Future Shop awards $210,000 to 15 elementary schools through Future Generation Tech Lab Grant program - Future Shop" ) (Release ) retrieved 16 November 2014.〕 and partly funded by the Roslyn Home and School Association. ==History== Roslyn Elementary School was the fourth public elementary school to open in Westmount〔Molly Fripp, Ann Elbourne, Maryla Waters (1977) ''Roslyn: The Story of a Canadian School'' (no publisher)〕 following Westmount Academy ''(later Argyle School; built in 1895)'', King's School ''(built in 1986)'', and Queen's School ''(built in 1900)''. The cornerstone of Roslyn Elementary School ''(originally named Roslyn Avenue School)'' was laid on October 11, 1907.〔Aline Gubbay (3 February 2011), ("About Westmount: A Brief History, 'The City Grows.'" ) City of Westmount site, retrieved 23 September 2013〕 In September 1908 (the same year the Town of Westmount officially incorporated as the City of Westmount), Roslyn Elementary School opened its doors to 264 students and 10 teachers. F.W.A. Young was the school's first principal. The Roslyn Home and School Association's fund raising initiatives in 1960 were pivotal in the creation of the school's library with the purchase of 375 books. In 1965, three Roslyn Elementary School parents, Charles Burgess, Carol Kahn, and Joan Rothman, initiated what would become Roslyn's French Immersion Program. It launched in 1968 with the assistance of the Roslyn Home and School Association and then-principal Scott Kneeland.〔 The school celebrated its 100th anniversary May 30–31, 2008. Centennial events were coordinated by Roslyn School Foundation. A stepping stone pathway featuring the names of donors to the ''Roslyn School Playground Improvement Fund'' was unveiled as part of the centennial festivities on October 11, 2007,〔(17 October 2007), ("Roslyn School marks 100th anniversary with cornerstone re-enactment." ) ''Westmount Examiner'' (Westmount), retrieved 23 September 2013.〕 and a new playground was opened on May 30, 2008.〔(21 May 2008), ("New playground ready for Roslyn centennial." ) ''Westmount Examiner'' (Westmount), retrieved 23 September 2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roslyn Elementary School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
