Foreign language students head to competition
The French students from last year pose for a group photo at the end of the awards ceremony. This year, 23 students are expected to participate in French competitions.
On March 23, students who excel in the study of a foreign language will head to competition at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. This year is the thirtieth annual APPLES foreign language festival. Students who go can choose from language proficiency, performing arts and art and culture competitions to compete in.
