Leaving the Steinmühle campus for a change: The Lower Secondary School Sports Day and Diversity Day had been moved to a shared off-campus venue, namely the Georg-Gassmann Stadium.
Principal Björn Gemmer noted at the outset: “We live well and happily when we draw our zest for life from the diversity of people at Steinmühle, and are thus ready to showcase and celebrate talents—including in sports and through active collaboration.” – With this spirit, the day began—a day that the physical education department had prepared and executed with great ease, together with the 12th-grade students in the advanced course and additional helpers from among the student teachers.
Track and Field and Sports Tournaments
The event began—after a group warm-up and a short flash mob dance led by Maya Vielhaben—with the sprint, long jump, and ball throw—classic track and field events as part of the Federal Youth Games—were on the program, before the action shifted in the second half of the sports festival, following the final races over sprint and 800-meter distances, to the various class-level tournaments —ranging from dodgeball to soccer and 3×3 basketball to Ultimate Frisbee and beach volleyball—all organized by school athletic director Marcel Kalb and his colleagues.
Dishes from Around the World
The pleasant, spring-like, and rain-free weather contributed to the positive atmosphere that morning at Georg-Gassmann Stadium, which was also designated as Diversity Day and marked the kickoff for further student council activities at the school: The 12th-grade class offered dishes from around the world, which proved to be a wonderful complement to the sports and games festival—a school morning during which impressive athletic achievements were witnessed and celebrated, while everyone also enjoyed a relaxed time together in the open air.
