"During this week, students all
around the nation recognized the
importance of the French culture and
language. It is the wish of all
French teachers that everyone understand
the significant role that France has
played in shaping the world as we know
it. Vive le français!"
Floyd County Times (KY), December

"Spanish may be the language
most Americans are adding to their
vocabulary these days, but hard-core
Francophones refuse to be ignored."

"For many of those who have
dreamed of sailing along the French
Riviera, tasting the warm Parisian bread
and stopping to enjoy the Louvre,
College of San Mateo is holding the next
best thing. The French Department
at CSM is premiering French Week
dedicated to exploring the different
avenues of French culture."
San Matean (CA), October 25, 1999
The first National French Week
Celebration attracted more than 300
people to P.K. Yonge Developmental
Research School. Some came for
French, some for fun, some for food and
others for a little bit of all
three."
Gainesville Sun (FL), December
23, 1999
"Baltimore County schools joined
others around the state and nation to
highlight student achievement in French
and to celebrate the French-speaking
heritage in America and around the
world."

"One of the best things about
this week is that we open our activities
up to everybody in the school. We
had a great response. There was a
great turnout, it was very
favorable."
Troy Daily News (OH), November

"We might also reflect on a sad
aspect of American cultural
diversity--the paradox of a nation where
so many languages are being spoken, and
yet so few are being
learned....Second-language study is
considered an essential element of a
sound education just about everywhere
else in the world."
Keene Sentinel (NH), November 1,
1999
