Bonjour tout le monde! Hello everyone! I am Mme Meservey. I love helping students learn to speak another language, and hope to inspire them to become life-long learners of French. I have been able to use French in many circumstances both in the Portland area and as I travel the world, and try to help students understand all the doors that speaking another language opens up for them both personally and professionally. French is spoken by over 300 million people in over 50 countries, so there are many opportunities to use this beautiful language.

I love to travel, and have recently been to France, Italy, England, Mexico, Belgium, Spain, Hong Kong, Holland and St. Martin in the Caribbean. Seeing the world helps one to understand different cultures and perspectives. One of my most recent trips involved leading a group of students, parents and teachers from Union, Evergreen and Mountain View on a 10 day trip to France. We started in Paris, then visited the castles of the Loire Valley before traveling to Bretagne and seeing the megaliths of Carnac and the Mont St. Michel, and traveling to Normandie to see the D-Day Beaches and American Cemetery. We returned to Paris for our final night. The French teachers in the district are planning another trip to France in June of 2015. We are going to Paris, Provence and the French Riviera! It is going to be an amazing experience, and we hope you can join us.
