Cistercian students perform well at AATF French Festival
On Saturday, Feb. 3, 2001, fourteen students from Cistercian traveled to Cedar Hills High School in Cedar Hill, TX to participate in the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF) French Festival.
La Fête Française is designed, written, financed, and disseminated by the members of the American Association of Teachers of French. Its purpose is to help stimulate further interest in the teaching and learning of French and to help identify and reward achievement on the part of both students and teachers. La Fête includes musical events, dance, couture, costumes, and dramatics as well as the language arts. Cistercian is pleased to announce that the school earned Second Best Performance in the Division B Sweepstakes in which Cistercian students competed in French Language, French Culture and Civilization, and French Sight Reading and Prose Reading.
