Westhampton Beach High School Students Visit France
The students took a trip to France over the winter break.
Westhampton Beach High School students put their language skills to use in a real-world setting during their visit to France over their winter break.
Aside from speaking the native language, students also toured the country, visiting Paris, the Loire Valley, Oradour sur Glane, Rocamadour and Provence.
During the tour, students participated in a cooking class at a French culinary arts institute, learned about fencing and the art of Medieval calligraphy.

They also visited a town that was burned down by the Nazis during WWII.
“It was truly a life change excursion for many students,” teacher Melissa Petroski said. “They experienced tremendous growth and were stimulated intellectually, gastronomically, historically, artistically and linguistically.”
