Midlothian High School students were among 450 other students hailing from from local middle and high schools to attend the  18th annual French Convention, referred to as Le Congrès Français, held at James River High School on March 19th and directed this year by our very own, Mrs. Catherine Mazzola with great help from Mrs. Lindsay Garrison.

The day was packed with 22 schools from all over Virginia participating in events, including competitions, workshops, the eating of luxurious French cuisine, and selecting a French Idol. Midlo students spent many hours after school preparing for the event. Nadir Siddiqui, the school’s representative on the Congrès Français planning committee and Vice President, received special recognition during the convention. Overall, Midlothian had the largest representation of all the schools, and several students  managed to demonstrate the Midlothian High School French program’s excellence by placing in their competitions.

Please congratulate:
