The French Club meets regularly on the first Wednesday of every month unless that day is not a school day which moves the meeting to the second Wednesday of that month. The club is sponsored by Madame Hopen in room 2248 and activities generally run from 2:15 to 4:00. Activities give French students the opportunity to remain involved in French throughout the school year as they are only scheduled into French classes for two of our three trimesters. Traditional French celebrations are featured during the club's meetings.
Reports of French Club activities are reported along with photos in the CORNER our school newsletter.
