French Open House Cafe Conversation Night - It was wonderful to see and meet so many of my students' families! Guests had the opportunity to see some student work and a slideshow of what we have been doing in French this year. Our French classroom was transformed into a Parisian cafe with traditional French accordion music and a variety of French hors d'oeuvres and desserts thanks to generous French students and families :) Merci beaucoup!
