G.W. Carver Middle School

On Thursday, March 5th 2026, students in the IS and IE French program will enjoy a dynamic, interactive show blending theater, music, and direct student engagement. Showcasing a fictional, delightfully eccentric director of the Museum of French History, students will get whisked away on a fascinating journey through one of the most intriguing periods in French history: the late 18th century, as seen through the life and legacy of Marie-Antoinette, Queen of France. Students will discover how history, fashion, power, and art intertwined, and how these forces continue to shape our world today. They’ll be encouraged to draw connections between this iconic historical figure and influencers, trends, and cultural movements of the present.

On Monday, April 13, students in the IS and IE programs will enjoy their annual Field Day to celebrate “francophonie” and the diversity of French-speaking cultures through traditional games and activities.
