Organization Works to Bring French in Vermilion Parish Back to Life
A newly formed non-profit organization, Les Amis du Français en Vermillon (Friends of French in Vermilion), is dedicating itself to the promotion and preservation of the French language and culture in Vermilion Parish and to the continued success of the Vermilion Parish French Immersion Program. The organization, under the direction of Layla Melancon, a local resident and parent of a French Immersion student, will promote all things dealing with the Francophone cultures in Vermilion Parish, and in turn, provide support for immersion learning in Vermilion Parish.
