Bonjour! Ten fifth-grade students in Eisenhower International Elementary School are preparing to spend the first three weeks in May in the French town of Amiens. The trip comes after a contingent of French students visit Tulsa next month.

In order for the students to get acquainted, Eisenhower educators have arranged for a videoconference on Friday, March 27. This particular conference involves the students reading legendary French science-fiction author Jules Verne (known for novels including 1865’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth” and 1870’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea”) to each other.

The “international” in Eisenhower’s name is indicative of the school’s Spanish and French immersion programs, an Eisenhower mainstay since the early ‘90s. For more information about the French program contact Philippe Corbaz at 746-9100 or corbaph@tulsaschools.org.
