Environmental Protection
Published 6/26/2024 by GLSMC
“Environmental Protection” and the question how we can contribute to making the world a cleaner, better place to live was our theme at this year’s “Sprach- und Spielfest” - our year- end celebration. The teachers prepared different stations where students and families could learn through hands-on activities about recycling, water filtration, create wildflower seed balls and much more. Despite the rain, many of our families and teachers came together to celebrate another successful year of learning German - we can’t wait to welcome our students back on September 7th! Don’t forget to sign up by June 30th to take advantage of our Super Early Bird Discount.
