Bon Appétit and Buen Provecho
Boys in the seventh grade study the French or Spanish language as part of their curriculum. Earlier this month, seventh graders had the opportunity to apply what they have learned in broader contexts.
The boys studying French this year visited Benoît, a contemporary French bistro, to enjoy a special lunch. While the boys feasted on delicious food, they also practiced speaking French in this unique setting. Accompanied by Madame Boyer-Robert and Madame de Haugoubart, the boys enjoyed sharing a meal together and expanding their knowledge of French cuisine.
On the same day, St. Bernard's seventh grade Spanish class enjoyed paella and tapas at La Nacional - Spanish Benevolent Society, one of the oldest Spanish-American cultural institutions in the United States. Before the boys dove into their meals, the president of La Nacional, Robert Sanfíz, gave a brief talk on the history of the once vibrant Spanish community on 14th Street, also known as “Little Spain." Señor Rodiño, Mr. Lee, and the boys all had a great time.
