Milwaukee French Immersion School

The 5th Grade finished Jam and Jelly project.

Last week, some of our 5th-grade students had the opportunity to make their own homemade Jellies and Jams. They selected Milwaukee-grown Concord Grapes and Georgia Peaches. Mme. Banks took them through chopping, measuring, stirring, and washing jars to get to the final product.

MFIS 4th and 5th grade students had the opportunity to participate in the 2026 UNSIL (United Nations School of International Learning). They did research and projects on global interests and presented them to the other schools in attendance. They also had the chance to showcase their African Dance skills as well as watch other dance groups. There were dancers from Rufus King and South Division High School, as well as Milwaukee Academy of Chinese Language.

MFIS congratulates Pablo Hamideh on his academic achievement! He participated earlier this spring at the regional geography bee put on by International Geography Bee. The International Geography Bee was founded in 2016 to give students around the world a chance to compete at the regional, national, and global levels in an academic competition testing comprehensive knowledge of world geography. Pablo did well at the regional competition and qualified for the national competition. National competition took place this weekend in Orlando, Florida. Pablo not only completed in the national geography competition, he also did a side quest while there on flags and maps and took 3rd place in the nation. In the national geography bee, he made it all the way to finals and took 6th place in the nation! There were 115 fourth graders! Bravo to Pablo. Way to represent MFIS, MPS and the state of Wisconsin!

Last week, our 5th graders concluded their Junior Docent Program at the Milwaukee Art Museum with their graduation. Students chose an artwork from the museum a couple of weeks ago and used art class time to create works inspired by their chosen pieces. Students also researched their work and gave presentations about the museum piece and their own creations to their peers, families, and docents at the museum. Congratulations to all of the students on completing the program!
