Merci!: The Sunset Elementary School, a Dade County, Fla., magnet school, has received the first grant ever given by the French government to an American public school.

Sunset’s curriculum includes the study of the languages and cultures of France, Germany, and Spain for both English-speaking and non-English-speaking students. ---Jeffrey Porro
