QUEBEC CITY – 23 Norwich City School French students had a 'bon voyage' over Memorial Day Weekend as they travelled to Quebec City to experience French-Canadian culture firsthand.

Organized by French teacher Sarah Waters, who also took a group of students to Montreal two years ago, it's reported that this year's trip involved two years of planning and fundraising before they were ready to venture north of the border.

“The students had a great experience and I think they learned a lot,” said Mrs. Waters of the trip. “They were wonderful ambassadors for the Norwich City School District.”

Also chaperoning the trip were Norwich French teacher Laura Holmes and former Norwich aide Matt Colgan.

The group left early on the morning of Friday, May 26 and returned late Monday evening, May 29.
