Ursuline Celebrates French Week

Academics


Bonjour from the Ursuline World Languages Department, which recently celebrated French Week with a full week of art, food, music, and culture. It was tres magnifique!

The Fox Dining Hall turned into a little slice of France, featuring student artwork and a Mona Lisa photo booth. Outside, students grabbed chalk to create French-inspired masterpieces on the breezeway.

During activity period, SAGE Dining showed everyone how to make Palmiers, a flaky, buttery French pastry, that disappeared almost instantly! At lunch, students sampled a special menu of chicken chasseur, ratatouille, and French onion soup, while a Francophone playlist set the mood. There were also French candy tastings, a daring cheese challenge, a French braiding station, and a drawing contest as part of the celebration.

Additionally, French I, II, and III students also visited the Kimbell Art Museum, each recreating a piece by a French artist before seeing the real thing in person.

Thank you to our amazing teachers, Dr. Claudine Saade and Sophie Green, for all their hard work to put together such a fun and immersive French Week celebration that brought language and culture to life across campus!
