Plainfield Central celebrating National Foreign Language Week

Plainfield High School-Central Campus is in the midst of celebrating National Foreign Language Week - "Languages: Bridges to Communication" - on its campus. The celebration, which runs from March 6-10, is highlighting the four foreign languages taught at the school (French, German, Spanish and American Sign Language), while also paying tribute to the native languages spoken by many students who are learning English as a second language.

Students are scheduled to participate in a variety of activities as part of National Foreign Language Week, including a poster contest, foreign language trivia, music, food tasting and language activities. The week promises to be fun for both students enrolled in a foreign language class and the rest of the school's community.

Plainfield Central, one of three high schools in Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202, is located at 24120 W. Fort Beggs Drive in Plainfield.
