Tremper Takes SECOND PLACE at German Day

I have never, ever been so proud in my entire career as I am of my students today. Tremper has never placed in the top 5 at German Day, and this year we won 2nd! (behind Nicolet in Milwaukee, who, by the way, had a perfect score) We've always competed just for the fun of it. But this year was different.

We fielded two AMAZING skits. During practices, I never once had to remind the students to learn their lines or bring in props or costumes. Everyone knew where their props were and took responsibility and pride in their work. I'm so thrilled that we were recognized for our efforts.

We also had two musical performances, one solo "Du bist die Ruh'" by Sarah J. and the birthday song "Viel Glück und Viel Segen", sung in a round by my German 101's. The competition is supposed to start at Level 2 German, but I like to take my 101's to get their feet wet. They did a great job!

Three German 202/302 students even spelled their way to first place! Very impressive, since spelling is often the competition where schools fall farthest in standing.

After final tallies are made, we'll send an official press release to the Kenosha News. Students will also perform and receive certificates at our banquet on May 29th.

HERZLICHEN GLÜCKWUNSCH!
