Collecting in the spring allows us to set our budget to determine if we need any additional fundraising. To secure our French interns and enrichment opportunities, we are requesting $125 for each Extended French student (6 – 12 grade). 

As a parent you are wondering, what do I get for my $125?  Here are just a few of the highlights:

  1. Classroom French Interns – Edina High School and Valley View are scheduled to have three interns each for a total of SIX for 2025/2026 school year. The school district does NOT cover any French intern expenses.

  2. Intern Gifts - The high school and Valley View interns receive holiday and end-of-the-year gifts funded by the Extended French PTO.

  3. Celebrations - End of the year celebrations for French interns and teachers. 

  4. French Enrichment – French enrichment opportunities both inside and outside the classroom for your child, including French speakers, French proficiency testing (paid for by the Extended French PTO, not Edina Public Schools), and a robust digital French library. 

Thank you for paying your $125/Extended French student so we can continue to maintain and expand our amazing program!
