It may have been all the news surrounding Steinm\u00fchle that made this year\u2019s Fall Festival such a special crowd-pleaser: The new middle school building nearing completion, the building permit for the renovation of the main building, approval for the bilingual elementary school program, a new parking lot, the new website, and the launch of the school\u2019s own app. Steinm\u00fchle has currently undertaken everything possible to make the school ready for the future and celebrated this achievement together with around 2,500 visitors at the traditional Fall Festival. Although the fall festival lived up to its name with downpours later in the evening, the visitors didn\u2019t let that dampen their festive spirits. On the contrary. Just when the festival seemed to be coming to an end due to the weather, even more visitors arrived\u2014and stayed well into the night. <\/p>\n

Politicians from various parties, who recognized the overall commitment of Steinm\u00fchle and the parents behind it in its success, arrived right at 3:00 p.m., when the event kicked off. Following a performance by the brass band class and opening remarks by boarding school director Nils Schwandt and school principals Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer and Bernd Holly, the leadership team led by school executive director Dirk Konnertz welcomed, among others, Hesse\u2019s Minister of Finance Dr. Thomas Sch\u00e4fer, District Administrator Kirsten Fr\u00fcndt, and Dirk Bamberger from Cappel, a direct candidate in the state legislative election. The politicians had not only provided financial support for Steinm\u00fchle\u2019s plans\u2014whether through funds from a municipal investment program, interest waivers, or a default guarantee\u2014but had also officially championed and welcomed these forward-looking initiatives. The unanimous consensus was that precisely these kinds of structures are needed to prepare young people for the growing demands of the future and to equip them for the challenges of digitalization and globalization. <\/p>\n

New Website Launched<\/strong><\/p>\n

Passing by the wing of the main building\u2014which bears the sign \u201cLandschulheim Steinm\u00fchle\u201d and whose days are numbered, as it is set to be demolished as part of the renovation\u2014interested festival attendees then made their way to the school\u2019s forum. There, school director Dirk Konnertz presented the school and boarding school\u2019s new joint website and explained the site\u2019s improved navigation, optimized user experience, and more user-friendly structure. <\/p>\n

Check your schedule with the StoneApp<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students Aaron Stein and Julian Seeger then presented the \u201cStoneApp\u201d they had created. The idea for a Steinm\u00fchlen app originated during the 2017\u201318 school year in upper-level computer science class and has now been brought to life by the two students with the support of Dirk Konnertz, Marc Bepperling, Eberhard Wieth, and the school administration. Soon, students will be able to check the latest school news, the meal schedule, the substitute teacher schedule, and more on their own mobile devices\u2014another milestone in Steinm\u00fchle\u2019s history that visitors were able to witness. The next Fall Festival in 2019 will then \u201cpop up\u201d as a highlight on the display of every Steinm\u00fchlen student\u2019s cell phone. <\/p>\n
