LEWISTON — The Gendron Franco Center will offer a new, five-week session of “Fun in French” classes beginning Saturday, Sept 9, for ages four to 12 from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
No prior language experience is necessary; however, a parent, grandparent or adult caregiver should accompany each child 8 and under. The center has a minimum requirement of five students in order to hold the classes, with a maximum of 15 students.
The intention is to provide an opportunity for families to learn activities in French that they can build on with each session. The Maine French Heritage Language Program curriculum is used as the foundation for the program. The program’s curriculum provides quality fun by offering a wide range of activities influenced by local Franco-American and other French-speaking cultures.
The course will be taught by Jacynthe Jacques — a native of the Eastern Township region of Québec — who has lived in the Lewiston area for more than 20 years.
The Gendron Franco Center strives to provide quality fun to as many young people as possible by offering Fun in French classes free through grants from the French American Cultural Exchange – French Heritage Language Program of New York, the L-A Children Foundation, and other grants.
To register, or for more information, go to francocenter.org, email jjacques@francocenter.org or call 207-783-1585. A full schedule of classes will be available at the first session or by contacting the Franco center. All programming also can be found on Facebook.
