Breaking Ground

Wednesday we had the first session of our videoconferencing program with a wonderful middle school in CA. It was the fruit of several months of planning and preparation, and for the first time brought a group of our students face-to-face with their counterparts on the West Coast. 



Miliste, our 'anchorman,' makes first contact.


Our representatives from the first year of secondary school - that's Diversine and Jean-Gady in front. They had the chance to talk about their school, classes, and generally introduce themselves.


Needless to say, it was very exciting for all involved.


A special thank-you to Jim and his team in CA, who made this possible.

  2. I am a French teacher at Worcester Academy in Massachusetts. I am interested in connecting my students with yours through the French language. I learned about your school through a colleague, Marilyn Earley, who is trying to bring two of your students to our school for two weeks this summer! please contact me at: wendy.perkins @worcesteracademy.org
