My Project

Learning a foreign language will now be an option for the first time at our school. In the past, students had to go off campus in order to do this. We are all excited that next year, students can have this opportunity right here at our school. We'll be offering a French program for the first time next school year.

Building a new program takes time, effort, and money.

The books selected for this project will help the students studying French by providing varied activities, extra practice, and reference materials in the areas of vocabulary, grammar, and culture.
