“I think French is the COOLEST class I take because Madame Bejger, my teacher, inspires us to learn by letting us play games, sing songs and learn in an inspiring way! I am glad that Madame Bejger is my French teacher because she is fair, nice and kind to her students.”

Emily Shelton, IES Student Delaware
