Recent Hoffman Estates High School graduate Gabija Federavivius was a winner of the prestigious McCormick Award for Excellence from the Alliance Française of Chicago. The experience included studying in France this summer ... and viewing in person the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris. Gabija discussed her experience with students in Madame Carey’s fourth block French class at Hoffman Estates this week. “I was able to use methods that Madame Carey taught in class for studying and real-life application of vocabulary while I was in France,” she told them. This is the first time a Hoffman Estates High School student has ever earned the scholarship; another of Madame Carey's students was a finalist. The scholarship included full travel to/from Paris, a class at the Sorbonne, and campus housing. The scholarship is given to two Chicago-area high school graduates and French scholars each year Gabija will be attending the University of Wisconsin this fall, studying Biochemistry and possible minoring in French.
