What is Congrès Français?
What is Congrès Français?
26 years ago two CCPS French teachers, Debbie Bartle and Linda Davidson, came together to organize Congrès as a fun event for their students. Over the years the event grew to include other counties and community organizations that come together for one Saturday as winter begins to thaw to help students continue to build a francophone community with their peers from across central VA. It's our honor to carry on their legacy with our 26th Congrès Français!
