First crêpe day of the year

We had the first crêpe day of the year. It was good! We had lots of variety in our toppings and we had lots of fun.

Fête de Fin de l'Année

We just got back from the Fête de Fin de l'Année. We had a lot of fun at the Paris Casino here in Vegas. We ate at the Village Buffet and several of the students tried several new dishes, like duck à l'orange, Ratatouille and Crème Brulé. We also had the hugest Crêpes you could ever imagine!

After that we took an elevator up to the top of the Eiffel Tower and took some fun pix. Notice Iulian's smartphone on the outside of the railing!

It was a good trip.

wrap up

This is the view from my desk as the French club wrapped up the year with a planning and finalization of the Fête de Fin de l'Année.

We will meet at the Paris Casino on the strip to eat at the great French Food buffet. It will be fun as we toast the graduates and enjoy the cultural experience.

Notice the final exam on my screen. If only the students realized what I was working on!

The Multi-Cultural Fair

So, we had the Multi-Cultural Fair today. We sold Crêpes and made quite a bit of profit for the end of year activity we'll have in May. The students had a great time, hawking their wares. We had quite a bit of traffic buying the delicious deserts.

Cheese day 3

We had a rather serious meeting this week. It seems that the president who was elected earlier this school year was unable to continue her duties. So, with a simple majority vote, following the club charter, we authorized the first Vice-president to take on the role of President.

We also had a third cheese-day. Brie and Muenster and several other cheeses were brought. Most enjoyed them, but you know American palates are not used to such things!

Mardi Gras (two weeks early)

Since Mardi Gras will take place in the middle of Proficiency Exam week, we decided to celebrate Mardi Gras early. Mrs. Hill, the wife of the club adviser, made two king cakes. Leona got one of the babies, but the other cake wasn't all eaten so we don't know who will be the king for the day yet!

There weren't very many people there, because we had the meeting on a Tuesday rather than a Monday! But, C'est la vie!

Le Jour de St. Valentine

We had many more show up to the Club meeting this week. Which is always a relief. We decorated sugar cookies in white, pink and red frosting and had a very intense discussion on the duties of the President. It seems that the club has lost her president in the second semester of the year for 7 years in a row! and this year may not be any different. The club voted to discuss with the wayward president and see if she wants the position or not. They voted to be nice and discuss first, before throwing her out on her ear. I hope that she sees she is wanted and can come back!

Crêpe day III

This year we normally have 35 or so french club members. But, this club meeting we only had 11 members. Oh well! at least we all had enough crêpes this time!

Fête de Noël

We had our Fête de Noël on Monday and we got our shirts too. Every year, Mrs. Hill sends a Bûche de Noël or two for the students to enjoy. We had a great time and there was food for everyone, thanks to the emphasis on bringing a bit more. What a great Holiday!.

Yearbook pix

We had a short meeting to plan for the Fête de Noël and get the Yearbook Pix. As you can see it was a bit chaotic!
