POBMS French Students Ring in the Yuletide

Yule Log Contest Tests Students' Cultural, Culinary Skills

Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School (POBMS) French language students in Ms. Roehrig’s class celebrated the holidays in a most delicious way: their annual yule log contest!

The yule log—or Bûche de Noël, as it is known in French—is an iconic chocolate cake and French holiday tradition dating back to the 19th century. At the annual December event, POBMS students were invited to create their very own Bûche de Noël, each as unique as the student who creates it.

School staff were invited to try the students’ creations and vote for them in categories such as best in show, best appearance, best taste and most creative. It was a delicious and creative way to celebrate the holidays.
