Fondue Frenzy

Fondue, which means "melted", in French, originated in the French-speaking region of Switzerland in the early 19th century. Today, fondue is enjoyed by people in many different countries.
Lower School French Club had lots of fun today as they dipped fruit, bread, marshmellows, chips, and pretzels into two delicious fondues - melted chocolate and melted cheese. No need for dinner tonight!







Merci à Madame Pinkard, Isabelle, Anne, et aussi Madame Whitman - for all of your help chopping, stirring, tasting, taking photos, and cleaning up!
