The Middle School French Club held a pie making contest consisting of four different teams.  Each team made a "clafoutis" (fruit pie), one with raspberries, one with blackberries, one with pear/chocolate and one with blueberries.  

French Club and faculty members had the privilege of taste testing each delicious pie to determine which one would be the winner.  Every pie was very tasty, which made voting super difficult.  

A big "thank you" to all of our contestants and to Mrs. Dubois for holding this yummy event.  

Congratulations to our winners.......
