A Taste of Paris
The Butler Kindergarten Building's common area was transformed into a quaint Parisian café on April 2 for a fun event that was C’est magnifique! FWCD Lower School French and Spanish Teachers, with the support of FWCD’s Department of Modern and Classical Languages, put on a stellar Taste of Paris event for the kindergarten students! Students had their pictures made, ordered croissants from the boulangerie, and completed fun French activities with Middle School French student leaders and teachers.
Lower School French Teacher Névine Watkins especially poured her heart and soul into the event and the decorations to allow the students to have the joy of ordering their goûter. The students all wore stripes to school that day, were presented with a beret to wear, and proudly wore a pin of the French flag. It was truly a memorable event. View the slideshow.
"A huge bravo to our Lower School Language Department for hosting such an engaging and delicious cultural showcase," said Alison Robinson, Modern and Classical Languages Department Chair. "A Taste of Paris inspires our students and engages them in the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of France, serving as a beautiful reminder of the exciting opportunities that our program offers those who study French."
