FRENCH CLUB

The French Club members are dedicated to creating French cultural experiences. In order to accomplish this goal, we hold many money-making projects, such as selling suckers and holding concessions at basketball games. The students earn points according to how involved each member is--attendance at meeings, participation in money-making, attendance at cultural activities etc. Then the points are given to students as money to pay for their attendance at French functions.

During the Christmas season we hold a French cooking experience in the cooking lab of the Adult Living classroom. We bake traditional Christmas pastries and cookies. We have a Chrismas party with the goodies, learning about French Christmas customs.

We view French movies whenever possible.

The French Club has planned the annual Peter Schott's French Club Dinner. Students earn points throughout the year to help pay for the dinner. An authentic five course meal of French cuisine is prepared by the restaurant and enjoyed by the members who travel by bus for the event.

In the spring when the weather permits, we hold a "Pique-nique Francais" in one of the parks as a final activity.
