About
Come join in on the fun! We'll have various family-friendly activities including a silent auction, games, French-language trivia, face painting, train rides, a petting zoo, French bingo, and live musice by:
• Mark Ardoin & Creole Driving Force
• Austin Monceaux & the Acadiana Ramblers
Tasting tickets will be $10 for 5. We'll have a public choice prize as well as a judge's choice. And, don't miss our lottery, with a chance to win $1000, $500, or $250!
Purpose
Proceeds from this fundraising event in 2025 will go towards the renovation of our historic Sunset High building as our future campus, providing modern classrooms in this beautiful building for the future of our students. As one of only four full French immersion schools in all of Louisiana, the significance of being right here in St. Landry Parish, in the cradle of Cajun and Creole culture, is ineffable.
