☀️🌎 Rochambeau Summer Camp has been full of "wow" moments!

Every week at our French immersion summer camp has a new theme. Campers have explored the worlds of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Marie Curie, and Jacques Cousteau through cooking, crafts, hands-on activities, and a field trip to the Maryland Science Center, immersing in their wisdom through fun adventures.

This week, in the spirit of the World Cup (congratulations Spain!) ⚽, campers are celebrating cultures from around the world while learning about French soccer stars like Zidane and Mbappé.

No boring moments here; just learning, exploring, and having fun! ✨

🇫🇷✨ En ce 14 juillet, alors que la Patrouille de France fait briller notre fête nationale dans le ciel, retour en images sur un moment historique pour nos CM2E !
Le 23 juin dernier, nos élèves ont été reçus à l'Ambassade de France pour une rencontre exceptionnelle avec les pilotes de la Patrouille de France, célébrant le 250ème anniversaire des États-Unis. 🇫🇷🇺🇸
Ce moment fort est venu clôturer en beauté une année de projet pédagogique et historique sur l'amitié franco-américaine. 🦁 L'occasion idéale pour orchestrer les retrouvailles de deux mascottes, Soda (pour notre classe de CM2 E) et Whiskey (pour nos correspondants de l’école Maurice Boyau), véritable clin d'œil historique aux lionceaux de l'Escadrille Lafayette de 14-18 ! Après avoir partagé l'année entre la France et les US, elles ont volé ensemble pour les festivités du 4 juillet avant de rejoindre leur mémorial près de Paris. ✈️ Merci à Clémence Jomier et aux parents d'élèves pour le partage des photos !
🎧 Envie d'en savoir plus ? Nos élèves ont enregistré un podcast dédié à ce projet historique : https://audioblog.arteradio.com/blog/261701/podcast/278483/l-amitie-franco-americaine-au-fil-de-l-histoire-lafayette-rochambeau-et-la-guerre-d-independance

On June 4, 2026, SIA English 8th graders celebrated the opening of their exhibit, Footsteps Toward Freedom: Honoring Local Lives, at the Josiah Henson Museum. Through original artwork and a student-created website, they honored individuals whose stories have too often been forgotten, people who once lived and walked in our local community.
We are especially proud that this exhibit will become part of the museum’s permanent collection and will be on display through September 2026.

When we think of the end of the school year, elementary school concerts are some of our favorite memories. 🎶

Whether singing about food, celebrating 70 years of our school through iconic songs, or bringing poetry to life on stage, our CP, CE1, and CM1 students filled Maplewood with humor, giggles, and the cutest dance moves in the past two weeks. 🎼🎤💓🎵

Thank you, Rose Vilcocq, for always inspiring, cultivating, and nurturing talent at Rochambeau. 💙💛
