The document is the November 2012 newsletter of the Memphré en Mouvement organization. It includes an editorial noting the busy fall season and looking forward to winter activities. It also includes statistics on social media usage worldwide and an interview with the principal of École des Deux-Soleils, who discusses the school's theme for the year of "Working together, staying in shape, pursuing our dreams" and how it aims to promote healthy habits and perseverance among students.

Éditorial
The fall season was a lot like the summer one: beautiful, but much too short. Oh well. No rest for the weary! Between
back-to-school activities, various meetings and reunions, the time just flew by. Not to mention all the planning we did
and the progress we saw in the many wonderful projects that emerged here and there. A schoolyard was entirely
refurbished and more time was set aside for physical activity. And what about our youngsters and their new WIXX
attitude... “You can’t understand, you’re not in, you’re too old!”
In short, we have a great program for getting in shape this winter, which, I have on good authority, promises to be a
very snowy one!
