There were T-shirts and music at the reception for the new fifth graders

Steinmühle welcomed the new students of the future 5th-grade classes with coffee and cake. The afternoon, spent together with parents and some members of the Steinmühle school community, provided an opportunity for everyone to get to know one another in a relaxed atmosphere. In particular, the teachers who will be serving as homeroom teachers for the 5th-grade classes in the upcoming 2018–19 school year introduced themselves.

To give everyone a chance to exercise their memory, Jasmine Weidenbach and Ilona Voigt-Laske, on behalf of the Steinmühlen Support Association, handed out T-shirts with the students’ names on them to all the students, which they were, of course, allowed to take home. In addition, a portrait photo was taken of each child to be used for their student ID.

Under the expert guidance of Andreas Jamin, the wind instrument class of this year’s fifth-grade cohort showcased the skills they had developed in just a few months, demonstrating just how far one can come on a wind instrument—even if they first picked it up last fall.

In terms of organization, Frank Wemme and Fido Wagler, along with other volunteers, were responsible for the success of the afternoon; their team of older students had, as always, taken care of the catering.
