Your Vote Makes a Difference to our School
|
This year, Target will give money to schools all over the country for one simple act: a vote. Our school needs just 25 votes to earn a $25 donation from Target. But that's only the beginning. For each additional vote, our school will get $1 more. So please remember that, although the gesture is small, the rewards are potentially huge. Go to this site to vote for Twin Cities German Immersion Charter School once a week through September 21 or until Target has given away all $5 million.

Middle Schoolers Hosting German Exchange Students
International Friendships Continue among TCGIS students
Last school year, TCGIS 8th graders visited Germany and  interacted with a group of students in an exchange program there. This week, students from that program have been visiting us here in the U.S. Families of current and former TCGIS students have generously opened their homes to students for this week and the next. This week the German Students have visited various locations ranging from exploring Como Park to an official visit to the state capital. Our 7th and 8th grade students have accompanied their guests to the Capital, the J.J. Hill House, and a Minnesota Twins game. Upcoming trips will include an afternoon of canoeing on Lake Calhoun, a trip to historical Fort Snelling, a shopping trip to the Mall of America, a tour of the U of M hosted by Silke Moeller. The 5th, 6th, and 8th graders will tag along next Wednesday for a Mill City Museum trip and the 5th and 6th grade along with the German Students will finish the day with a Mississippi boat tour. Thursday, the German students will spend time with last year's 8th graders at their respective new high schools. Friday the entire group will have a going away party at Minnehaha Park.
The students would like to thank Emily Schoonover, Silke Moeller, Patrick Forsland, Gina Vader, and all the other parents, teachers, and students who have made their trip so successful. If you want to know more about our Capstone/Exchange program and how you can get involved for next year, contact [email protected].
