FLESFEST is an informal gathering of those interested in promoting foreign language learning for all learners, K-16, and articulation between elementary, secondary and post-secondary language programs.  Started in 1989 as an outgrowth of FLES (Foreign Language in the Elementary School) networking sessions held at WAFLT Fall Conferences, FLESFEST provides an opportunity for language teachers to share “best practices,” ideas and challenges, to learn from each other, and to offer support.  It is held, annually, on the first Saturday in March.   2008 FLESFEST Committee: Helena Curtain, Jacquelyn Dove, Teri Glowacki, Carley Goodkind, Eileen Hesseling, Sandy Jacque, Duffy Kasum, Cindy Kinnear, Jody Schneider, Audray Weber
