Galileo Adult Centre Plans Musical Variety Dinner Show

Galileo Adult  Education Centre’s Social Integration Services (SIS) students will hold their first ever musical variety dinner show, SMILE, on Friday, April 20 (5:30 pm) at the  St. Pius X Culinary and Business Centre (9955 Papineau Avenue).

SIS is a program set by the Ministère de l’Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur (MEES) that is designed for adults who experience difficulties of a psychological, intellectual, social or physical nature. The program is distinctively designed to help the student acquire the necessary skills to be able to integrate and participate in society to their fullest potential.  

SMILE is a celebration of all that has been, and continues to be, accomplished in Galileo’s SIS program. You will be mesmerized by the artistic talents of over 60 of Galileo’s SIS students. Each one has contributed to the production of SMILE, either on stage, assisting the culinary team in preparing the dinner, or behind the scenes with set or costume design and helping the teachers. The show is directed by Alain Tourigny and Lisa Trotto.

This fundraising evening will feature an exhibition that demonstrates a snapshot of the daily educational activities that students participate in. This will include an introduction to Galileo’s thriving new Socio Vocational Integration Services (SVIS), and culinary programs. Don’t forget your dancing shoes! DJ Stefano will be spinning some classic tunes throughout the evening.

This is also an excellent opportunity to sample the delicious creations of the up-and-coming chefs that are studying the culinary arts at St. Pius X Culinary Institute.
The students and the SIS team have been working very hard to prepare for this extravaganza. To reserve tickets, email Principal Martina Schiavone at mschiavone@emsb.qc.ca. Tickets are $40 (by cheque payable to Galileo Adult Centre).

 All funds raised will contribute to Galileo’s SIS student trip to Ottawa, and other activities that foster work skills and social integration.
