Julie Trahan’s AP French class from Plainwell High School took a trip to Canada. They visited Toronto, Quebec City and Montreal. A few highlights included the students visiting Notre Dame Basilica of Montreal, Montmorency Falls (tallest in North America) and a few even tried sledding in front of the Chateau Frontenac Hotel (which has been running since 1884). It was a phenomenal trip and amazing experience for these AP students. Special thanks to Mr. Fitz, Ms. Wingle and Ms. Trahan for making this experience possible for our students!

Students saw how our trash can be made into clean energy. They also learned how recycling gets sorted and how the landfill helps manage our waste. Everyone learned so many new things and had a wonderful experience.
