International Week started off strong with French Day leading the charge. French Club members, donned in berets, gathered early in the morning to hand out miniature flags of French-speaking countries to their schoolmates. Students were greeted with a friendly bonjour and headed off to their classrooms for some morning French work. Delicious croissants awaited the students for snack. Math students brought in extra-credit posters full of math facts related to France. For lunch, all delighted in eating quiche, frites, haricots verts, and eclairs au chocolat. Later in the afternoon, Madame Cooke and Mrs. Armstrong welcomed visitors who gave a presentation to 10th Age girls and 6-D students about their recent trip to France; and they brought homemade Madeleine cookies and meringues for all to try.
