Hi, or really, Bonjour tout le monde!
My name is Ann Menichelli and I'm from Southampton, Pa.. I started studying French in high school and continued at Kutztown University where I got my degree in Secondary Education, French. I studied abroad in college at l'Université de Bourgogne. Since then I have studied and spent time in Montpellier, Paris, and Mulhouse, among other places in France. I love speaking French and enjoy learning about French Culture from France and the other French speaking regions and countries in the world. I think it's very important for young people to have proficiency in a second language and culture for their future professions, to be engaged world citizens, and, besides that, it's fun to speak another language and meet people from other places!
Kristen Loew, another Abington High School French teacher, and I supervise the French Club together. If you're interested in French or the French speaking world, come to French Club! Anyone can join, you don't have to take or speak French to join. In non-pandemic times, we have a pizza party in the fall for the French exchange students from Mulhouse, watch French movies, make crêpes, have a Winter polyanna party in December with the Spanish Club, and have trivia contests. We sold t-shirts last year and had a Chipotle fundraiser the year before that. We are open to new ideas for activities related to the world of French!
