Encore, encore!

Middle School French Club gave entertaining performances this week to Pilot, Sixth, and Seventh Age classes, 5th graders, various faculty members, and parents. The two mini plays, Les Trois Ours (The Three Bears) and Le Petit Chaperon Rouge (Little Red Riding Hood) were performed entirely in French and were well received by the audiences. French Club students had worked hard each week since September memorizing their lines, learning their cues and positions on stage, working the curtain, etc. They even spent a Saturday morning painting the set and rehearsing. Madame Havard, retired Calvert French teacher, was seen proudly watching from the audience. A French pastry reception was held afterwards for the actors and their parents. Thank you to Mrs. Kamp for helping with the set and to Isabel C. for helping with the acting and the photography. Bravo tout le monde!
