LA BELLE SOIRÉE & COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS | | |
|
|
We have received more than 35 submissions for Community Connections so far and they all look like they will be so much fun! Community Connections events are open to ALL Normandale and Extended French families, whether or not you are attending La Belle Soirée. Check out our preview of Community Connections.

We are still missing events for some grades for both kids and parents. Last year we had around 70 events, let's see if we can have even more this year!!
Here are the groups we don't have a party specifically for:
- Kindergarten girls
- First grade girls
- Fourth grade boys, parents
- Fifth grade girls
It would be great to have at least 4 events for each group in each grade, so don't hold back! Ideas for Community Connections can be found on this page. Consider hosting a CC with multiple hosts to split the costs associated with the party! Once you're ready, you can submit your event here. Thanks for considering and if you have any questions please reach out to Berit Allar ([email protected]).

WE NEED YOUR HELP to make La Belle Soirée a success. Please consider donating your time before, during, or after the gala. Volunteer shifts relatively short so they are accessible to all on the weekend. Please click here to view the sign-up. Thank you!
Each year, our community tries to raise funds to send interested teachers to the gala. To cover those costs, we’ve added a donation form in the Normandale Membership Toolkit. No amount is too small. Merci Beaucoup!
Can't make it to La Belle Soirée but want to support the Intern program during our largest fundraiser of the year? Donate here!

I have one little brother who is 21 and one little sister who is 16. I also have a dog, a golden retriever who is 3. He s name is Pumba. I love thrills and so theme park with big attractions and roller coasters. I also like doing sport, moto, escape game, bowling, laser game, karting. I like to read books and watch movies (even disney movies) or animes at home or at the cinema.
IN THE US: Like I love thrills so I’d like to go to Disneyland, and a six-flag theme park. I like beautiful landscape so I want to see the nature and do some national park and falls like yellowstone or lac tahoe. I would like to see a basketball or football match. I want to go to Florida and California. I love animals so if I can I will go to see wild orcas in Washington or Canada.
