Blumenkranz at the MN RenFest
Blumenkranz Senior kicks off the season with a performance at the MN Renaissance Festival on October 3 & 4 as a part of their Oktoberfest celebration! Is there a better way to celebrate Oktoberfest on the day of German Unity than outside with historical-looking scenery? Join us for dancing at the Pavilion stage on October 3 & 4! |

Oktoberfest Fundraiser on September 27!
We would like to invite the community to support our school and to enjoy the famous Oktoberfest in Minneapolis at the same time. Does that sound too good to be true? On Sunday, September 27, 35 fifth graders and Amity interns will be joining the team of the Black Forest Inn in Minneapolis for some fun and silliness. We have put together lunch and dinner activities for a "Is your German better than a 5th graders?" challenge and 20% percent of the food sales for the entire day will be donated to the Amity Program at TCGIS. Please take the whole family out for a great Oktoberfest experience and support our fifth graders between 12-2 pm or after 5 pm. Thank you to the Black Forest Inn for this wonderful opportunity! Click here for more information! |

We Need Your Cereal Boxes!
 Please start saving and bringing in your cereal boxes and round oatmeal boxes! Frau Lenburg will be needing them in October to make lanterns with the Kindergarten through third graders for the annual Martinstag celebration. Empty boxes can be brought to the office or sent to the classroom with your student.

GAI Announcements
Tuesday, October 13, 7pm - Free and open to the public
Explore the history, language, and devilish spirit of one of German Literature's most iconic characters. Classical Actors Ensemble (CAE) Artistic Director, Joseph Papke, along with actors and designers, will host an interactive lecture and showcase of scenes from CAE's current production of Doctor Faustus. Free and open to the public, this evening will get you into the Halloween spirit (without making a deal with the devil.)
Due to the request for more programming in German, we have developed a new series for those who want to come speak, listen to, and engage with others auf Deutsch. Attendees will pick up their boxed lunch and join others in the dining room for socializing and networking before the short program at noon. While the event timing is great for students and working professionals, all German speakers are welcome to attend.
