French Exchange Students Visit Queens Lake Middle School

Queens Lake Middle School (QLMS) welcomed 48 French students to the school on Tuesday, October 30th. The students were in Williamsburg for 8 days through an exchange program. Most of the students were housed with QLMS students during their time here. On October 30th, the students and their teachers, from Jeanne d'Arc Middle School in France, shadowed students and observed many classes. Students in French 2 served as tour guides at the end of the school day. They also served refreshments and led a reflection in which students compared their two schools. Over their week in Williamsburg, the French exchange students also visited Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, New Quarter Park, and the college of William and Mary. They also celebrated Halloween with their host families and spent several additional days visiting New York City and Washington DC. Our students made life-long friendships.
