Beyond the Books

From our school newsletter:

When French students from our sister school visit next week, they will learn more than math and science.

Ten students and two teachers from Lycée Louis Bertrand in Briey arrive on March 27. They will spend 10 days here and follow the schedule of their HIES pen pals.

"During their American experience they will not only improve their English skills, but also immerse themselves in our culture," says foreign language teacher Gerard Gatoux. "Going to the Aquarium, MLK memorial, Carter Center and World of Coca Cola are some of the highlights of their stay."

So if anyone would like to practice his or her French-speaking skills without traveling far from home, this is your chance.
