LEWISTON — The Dolard & Priscilla Gendron Franco Center will start its winter session of “Fun in French” classes Sept. 17.

The sessions will run from 10 to 11:30 a.m. for six Saturdays. The class is for ages 4 to 12. No prior language experience is necessary. Guardians should accompany children 8 and younger.

The intention is to provide an opportunity for families to learn activities in French that they can build on with each session. The Maine French Heritage Language Program curriculum is used as the foundation for the program. Curriculum includes, games, crafts, songs and storytelling.

Instructor is Jacynthe Jacques, a native of the Eastern Township region of Quebec. She has lived in the Lewiston area for over 20 years.

The class needs a minimum of five students and no more than 15. Additional students who sign up will be put on a waiting list and contacted as space becomes available.

Classes are offered free through grants, including from the French American Cultural Exchange — French Heritage Language Program of New York, and the L-A Children Foundation.
