Bringing Languages to the attention of the Maine Legislature
The FLAME Year of Languages Committee organized a morning of events at the Hall of Flags in the Maine State House to bring languages to the attention of the Maine Legislature. We had a YOL Celebration Ceremony with note-worthy speakers: Maine Commissioner Susan Gendron, Richard Coyle from the Maine International Trade Center, FLAME President Laurie Littlefield, FLAME Teacher of the Year Jeremy Willette, FLAME Leader of the Year Ann Sullivan, FLAME Student of the Year Charlie Wood, and Robert Daigle's fourth graders regaled us with stories and songs. We also had a number of "exhibits": Students preparing food, students sharing projects and travel experiences, Technology in the classroom, TPRS, a non-profit language school, and our advocacy video, the Many Faces of Maine, was playing as well. We also provided handouts that highlighted the benefits of learning another language. We made TV news that evening on both Channel 6 and Channel 13!
