Great costumes and music: Lower School Celebrated Carnival

Being able to really let loose, running around the gym in costumes to cool music, playing games, and burning off some energy—that sounds like the Steinmühlen Carnival for grades 5 and 6. The atmosphere among Steinmühlen’s youngest students couldn’t have been better, even in a traditional Carnival stronghold; it’s hard to believe that the whole thing took place in Central Hesse.

After getting dressed in their costumes and applying makeup, two appropriate costumes were selected per class for the Carnival Costume Story. The young revelers made their entrance to the polonaise at 2:00 p.m. After the presentation of the Carnival Costume Story, the Carnival Olympics began with a biathlon. The program included running, target throwing, and a three-legged race. This was followed by a disco and the much-anticipated Carnival snack, complete with French fries.

As usual, WU Sound & Light and its team provided the best music. Sam Kempkes and his team were swamped at times as people tried to get as many song requests as possible to them.

We would like to thank the teaching staff led by Frank Wemme, as well as Jasmine Weidenbach, chair of the booster club, for their flawless coordination and for actively helping to shape this “crazy” afternoon with their own original costumes.
