High School Merit Certificates 2008
Every year the Alliance Francaise de Buffalo sends a letter in April to the principal of the high schools in the eight counties of Western New York asking that the head French teacher in the school nominates the best French student in that school that year.
The teacher sends the name of the student back to the Alliance. The Alliance sends the teacher a letter of congratulations, the Certificate of Merit along with a one-year honorary membership to the organization, which includes the bi-monthly bilingual newsletter of the organization Les Nouvelles de l'Alliance to be given to the student.
