Throughout themonth of March, in Houston, the French consulate and French organizations, restaurants,schools are going to create series of events.

As last year wewill celebrate it during the third week of March.  Each classroom will focus on a particularregion / country and the students will do manual activities every day and theirworks will be exhibited in each classroom. On Friday, March 23rd,students will then go to each classroom with a “passport” where they will learnand discover what their comrades learned and created. We will really appreciateif you could part of this celebration by lending objects, clothes, artifacts …from your native country.

So let’s turn back the clock to the era of the Old West and let your children come  to the school dressed in Western attire. Yeeehaaa !
