We wanted to give a special shout out to Elephant Quilt Productions for their tireless dedication and support for our first ever promotional video. Jason Rhein, one of our Lycée parents, made the experience from conceptualizing and planning, to filming exceptionally easy. We cannot wait to share the finished product with our families, communities and beyond! Stay tuned for the premier.













We are proud to announce Francisca Martinon's 7th grade class placed 2nd in the international, "Slame Tes Accents" competition sponsored by, Centre de la francophonie des Amériques ! Entries were received from 20 countries in the Americas. Of course, they couldn't have done it without the help of our wonderful music teacher, Pascal Valcasara! Félicitations à tous!

Last week Mlle Emilie Gauthier's second grade class performed an exciting 3-piece theatrical production! Here we see a swift thinking rabbit reading the paper, awaiting the arrival of his friends who seek shelter from the big bad wolf! Each and every actor was a treasure to behold.
