French club trip gets re-planned

The French club is trying to plan a trip to Quebec. The club was planning on going to France during the 2010-2011 school year. However, if you read last month’s issue of the FHS Press, then you probably know that the French program here at FHS is coming to an end. This is the last year for French at Freedom due to a lack of participation, as there were only about 60 students committed to the program for next year. As a result, the French Club is trying to put together a farewell trip instead of trying to pushing for one more year. Quebec is the only French-speaking province in Canada. Funding for the trip decreased, so the trip needed a budget cut. The trip’s duration would obviously have to be much shorter, leading to a cheaper cost. The French students were upset when they heard their class was being taken away and that their trip to France was cancelled. A trip to Quebec would be better than no trip at all and a good way to end the French Program. “I think a trip to Quebec is a great idea. It stinks that we can’t go to France but going to Canada would be cool too,” said Matt Notarianni, a French student.
