Last weekend we gathered with our 2025-26 interns, their families, all of them, and teachers they work with to celebrate the year, and have some good food and beer. We've been doing this each year to thank our interns for the time they've spent in our community. We also do this to thank our host families.
BTW: if you can host next year, please reach out to me! I'm looking for two families to host first semester next year!

Bonjour friends and families! I hope that you enjoyed this wonderful long weekend as much as I did! As we are heading back to school, I wanted to reach out to let you all know that we are still looking for 3 host families for this coming fall. If you or someone you know can provide a private room, three meals a day, and transportation to and from MSL or MFIS, please consider hosting. It is a huge favor for the school and benefits the students tremendously. [email protected]
Merci!

Over the past few months, Mme Voge (MFIS art teacher), Mme Morgan (MFIS music teacher) and the Milwaukee French Immersion Foundation have been working together to create "MFIS Gallery Night," a family-friendly evening designed to celebrate the artistic talent of our MFIS students.

Last year, we finished the year with a bang. One of the things we did was celebrate our time with the interns by holding a send off party where host families and teachers came to say goodbye. Here are some of the photos from that event!
