(LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL) – LRHS French students are holding their first class potluck after school Tuesday, Mar. 1 in room 555.

Attendees must be in a French class and/or French club. They must also bring a food item, either handmade or store bought is fine, as long as the student notes whether the dish contains nuts. Any food that is brought to the Potluck should be a recipe from a French-speaking country.

LRHS foreign language teacher Audrey Irias said, “Some of my French classes just finished a couple chapters about food and next week is National Foreign Language week, so I thought a Potluck would be a fun thing to celebrate both.”

French student junior Hilary Borjas is looking forward to the potluck.

“I think it will be a good experience,” she said.  “I’ll be able to learn a lot about foods from foreign French-speaking countries.”
