Last summer I spent some time traveling with students and parents.  Here, we collected sand from Omaha Beach, in Normandy, France on June 6, 2010, the 66th Anniversary of the D-day landings.  It was an amazing experience.  In the picture below you see the whole group in London with St. Paul's Cathederal behind us. 

The Scotland and Ireland trip is set and ready to roll!  If you are interested in following along with us please let me know and I will add you to the updates list.

Welcome to the Villa Madonna Social Studies pages by Mr. Cordonnier.  Throughout this year we will be exploring the great victories and the tragic losses of the past through learning their stories and trying our hand at some of their experiences.  If you need to contact Mr. C. at any time please do so through email at

Thanks so much.

UP AND COMING EVENTS FOR MR. C.'s Classes:
