Mardi Gras Celebration


On March 8, 2011 (Mardi Gras!), not only did all French students sit for the Grand Concours, the National French Exam, but also French III Honors was treated to a visit by Kevin Buckley and bandmate Eric Michel and manager David Buckley, awarding winning country musicians from Nashville's Sister City in Caen, Normandy. Senior Douglas McWilliams prepared two beautiful King Cakes for the class, and the musicians conversed with everyone in French, answering questions about everything from Caen's soccer team to the deep friendship between the US and Normandie. The visitors finished the class with some of their live music -- what an interesting and entertaining morning for French III Honors.
