Montpelier High School Students open “La Bonne Crêpe” cart to fundraise Guadeloupe trip
Montpelier High School’s French language program is raising funds for an educational field trip to Guadeloupe through a Brittany-inspired crêpe cart. The cart runs most Saturdays at the Montpelier Farmers Market through October and features seasonal flavors. The cart is owned by Brigitte Savard, French teacher at MHS, and managed by a small team of dedicated students.
To make the April 2023 trip affordable to every French student, each traveling student takes shifts at the cart to contribute to the collective fundraising effort. Sharing the work equally creates accessibility for everyone. The trip itself will be an immersive learning opportunity and a unique chance to practice communicating in French and experiencing Guadelopean culture.
La Bonne Crêpe is not only the main fundraiser behind the trip, but is also part of a Personalized Learning Study for MHS students. High school students Alara Kohn, Ava Hollingsworth, Izzy Jackson, Maria Lovelette, Meg Voisin, Noah Samuelson, and Scarlett Davis helped launch the business and will continue to run it through the next school year.
“It’s nice to be involved in every aspect of the business, so we can all make decisions together,” says Izzy Jackson, a rising senior at Montpelier High School.
The students are divided into rotating scopes that consist of accounting, marketing and media, human resources, and art and menu design. The operation helps strengthen problem solving skills, advanced communication, and creates hands-on management knowledge.
The MHS French students have dedicated themselves to creating a delicious and entertaining experience for everyone in the Montpelier area and look forward to feeding community members. Come and support their travel ambitions! Patrons looking to support should visit 133 State Street Saturdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
