French Club

Advisor: Madame Walsh

Meeting Dates: Wednesdays after school, Room 361

The French Club is open to any student interested in French culture or language. French club activities include field trips to French restaurants, traveling to Manhattan, visiting the United Nations, and seeing a Broadway play. We do fund raisers throughout the year and donate some of the proceeds to charities as well as students and families in need in Hauppauge. We visit local nursing homes and sing holiday carols in French to the residents as well as distribute holiday greeting cards to them. We also participate in Safe Halloween, Homecoming and International Night. International Night was designed to promote cultural understanding and acceptance. Honor Society Inductions are held in the spring. We have an Au Revoir party in June for the seniors. French club also does presentations in the 5th grade classrooms to introduce the students to French before choosing their language.

Membership in the French Honor Society recognizes those French club members who have demonstrated exemplary scholastic achievement in French. Membership is open to French students in levels three and above who have completed a minimum of six consecutive quarters of high school with an average of 92 in French (with no individual quarter grade in French under 85). In addition, an overall minimum average of 85 is required with no failing grades. An additional requirement is that no disciplinary actions (i.e. suspension) have been taken against the student. An induction ceremony is held in the spring.
