Le Grand Concours is a national competition sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of French. Students were evaluated for their written, oral, and listening comprehension skills in French. In spite of the pandemic and all of the difficulties overcome in schools this past year, nearly 30,000 students in all 50 states competed this year in the 86th annual event.
French teacher Jeannie Starman is very proud of the students for this special recognition. Félicitations!
