Our high school students did an exceptional job representing Walt Whitman at the Annual Poetry Contest sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF). Eight original poems were electronically submitted: three level II, two level III, one level IV and 1 AP level (this student is enrolled in French IV but as a native speaker she had to submit a poem at a level above).“It was great to hear the other teachers who were serving as judges commenting on the quality of work that our students submitted,” said Whitman’s French teacher Dr. Geralde Eikenaar-Klang. “Needless to tell you how proud I am of them.”
The students will celebrate with a French breakfast where they will receive their certificates and gifts from AATF
