  • Bonjour Pilar,
    Je vis a Hyde Park upstate NY 4 jours par semaine. J'ai un petit garcon de 6 ans Luca. J'ai quelques amies francaises avec des enfants du meme age qui vivent Newburgh. Il y a un reel manque upstate NY pour les enfants bilingues francais. J'aimerais pouvoir rentrer en contact avec vous.

  • Bonjour Pilar,

    I'm sorry to hear this. These people are making the wrong decision.

    I suggest you write a blog post on this platform to present the situation to all the members. I know I will write a letter to whomever you tell us to write to  I'm sure other members will write a letter too.

    I also suggest that you get the parents and your community involved if it's not already the case.

    And here are a few articles that you can use in your defense.

  • Pilar I also live in the upstate area. I  am American born French and I would definitely support the implementation of  more French in the Upstate schools, especially to benefit our kids and others.
