8th grade French students had the chance to read some antique French books thanks to Mr. Wilson and @lindsayteaches organizing a book museum at our school. Merci beaucoup! C’était génial de voir mes élèves en train de lire ces vieux livres.

Our K-8 schools now feature programming in Spanish, French and *Chinese* (formerly known as Mandarin). Thank you, Lihua and Fu-Tseng, for your advocacy and making sure that we're giving our K-12 languages the representation they need.
