A Great Atmosphere at the Bilingual Elementary School’s Carnival Party

Last Thursday, the students at our bilingual elementary school whirled through the gym in fantastic, colorful costumes. After 1:00 p.m., Carnival was on the schedule! For the girls and boys in classes Flex a, Flex b, 3, and 4, a polonaise was the first item on the program. Everyone had already gotten into the spirit as they left their classrooms. Things can get a little loud during such boisterous celebrations, but the teachers used a megaphone to make themselves heard. The afternoon’s program included a costume show, the hat dance, time in the movement course, a team game with balls, and balloon contests. The afternoon culminated with french fries for everyone—but not before everyone pitched in to clean up together. The team led by elementary school principal Janine Küster—namely teachers Lori Herrmann, Lisa Smit, Lisa Forchheim, Maria Bick, Maria Gloerfeld, Katrin Weissenborn, Hannah Achenbach, Dr. Sebastian Verbeek, and Tobias Leisge.
