Mary Jane Miller                 French and Spanish                 2007 – 2008 school

I am very pleased to be your teacher this year. This will be a very exciting year in the World Language department! We have all new computers in our lab! We are offering several new courses this year. There are new books for many of our classes that include the latest in information, computer and ancillary activities.

Our department is dedicated to the knowledge that students do not “learn to speak”….rather they must “speak to learn”. To this end, our classes are conducted in the target language. It may seem a bit difficult at first, but the end result is worth the effort.

I am hopeful that all parents will support our efforts and encourage your child to become a true “citizen of the world”.

Please do not hesitate to call or email me if you have any questions.
