Our students in France will be home tomorrow, so they had a busy day today! They had a good time visiting the catacombs and finished the trip with a night on Mon Martre! We are happy they had a great time. We hope they have a safe flight back!

Our Lions visiting abroad traveled across France to see castles yesterday!

While we are celebrating Juneteenth here in America, a few Lanphier students are experiencing France!🇫🇷 Students had a busy day running around Paris. They visited the Fragonard perfume museum to buy perfume, shoppe at Galleries Lafayette, looked at art at the Louvre and went on a boat cruise on the Seine.

While we have had rain and storms here in Springfield, the LHS French students in France spent the day in the shadow of royalty!

Mrs. Grendze and a few Lanphier Lions have made it to France! Right now they are in Paris. She will be updating us on their journey as they travel the country!
