French Students Choose Kings for the Day
Les etudiants Francais choisit les rois pour le jour
|
|
Students in Mrs. Caulley’s Middle and Upper School French classes are celebrating the Epiphany (twelfth day of Christmas). In France, the Epiphany celebration includes the “galette des rois”, a king cake, which is eaten on January 6th. It is also the custom in France to “tirer les rois” (choose a king of the day). Westfield students in each class have had so much fun today eating king cake and crowing a king (or queen) for the day.
