I'm a non-Louisianan but I'm learning standard and Louisiana French. In doing so, I'm also learning about Louisiana French history and culture. I want to show my support in keeping the culture and the language alive! It deserves to be preserved. It deserves to live and thrive now and for generations to come!
Joshua supported: Confirm French Immersion Pre-K in Lafayette Parish
French-immersion is an invaluable and unique resource for the children and families of Lafayette Parish, and is one of the biggest attractions to our public school system. To hear that certain board members like Britt Latiolais would do away with the entire program if they could (as he told a group of parents after a board meeting) is disheartening to say the least. Protect French immersion and keep our parish moving forward, not sliding backwards.
Melanie supported: Confirm French Immersion Pre-K in Lafayette Parish
As a proud product of Myrtle Place French Immersion, the ability to speak a second language has helped me in my travels abroad and tutoring my college student-athletes in their own French classes. This program is vital to our community!
Megan supported: Confirm French Immersion Pre-K in Lafayette Parish
My daughter began French Immersion during First grade and her Canadian teacher was discontent with having my daughter, a new immersion student, in her class because she didn’t have the foundation of French in her vocabulary and her life at 6 years old. Yes, Prek and K French Immersion would have been much more beneficial, and kids are adaptable. There’s no good enough reason to eliminate French Immersion in Prek and K. French has been adopted by the Indigenous, Afro descended and European-descended peoples in Louisiana and is the language of our recent history in this place. The Louisiana French language and heritage are alive and well in Lafayette Parish and learning any French is better than not learning French at all. Our children deserve to have French available to them to pass down the language that has become part of our identity as Louisianans.
