Last night we attended the Société Honoraire de Français induction ceremony for the last time.
Our daughter was a 4 year member in the French Honor Society while in middle/high school and #2 Son received his 4 year pin and certificate last evening too.
We've been to 7 of these ceremonies......one year they both were inducted so not 8 ceremonies.
If you feel like wasting a little time, here are a few film clips I shot during the ceremony.
First the introduction and the passing of the torch.....this part is over 6 minutes long.
(The actual torch passing happens around 4:30)
Then Madame Schwartz, the French teacher, spoke. She got choked up this year and there were many tears shed by teens, teacher and parents.....this part is 7 minutes long.
The 4th year students(really 5th year French, since you have to have 6 semesters with a 94 average to get into this society)receive their pins and certificates......this one is under 1 minute.
And finally, this year, a 3rd year student , AJ, sang Le Marseillaise and #2 Son accompanied him on the flute.....
He's actually smiling....I suspect it's because the ceremony is almost over. lolz
