This school year, the Great Bridge High School AP French Class has been partnering with Mrs. Phillips’ class at Great Bridge Intermediate to teach 5th graders how to speak French—and even sing Christmas carols in French!

Today, these high schoolers and 5th graders came together to walk the halls of GBHS, sharing music, language, and holiday joy with students and staff alike. Seeing our WILDCATS learning, leading, and celebrating together was truly special 💙

Joyeux Noël and bravo to our amazing students!
