On November 11, the DBSAA kindergarten and elementary school celebrated their traditional St. Martin’s Day – an event that enchants the school community every year. With lovingly decorated lanterns, a lively St. Martin’s play and lots of treats, pupils, teachers, parents and friends gathered on the school grounds. As dusk fell, the children gathered with their shining lanterns to sing a few traditional St. Martin’s songs together. Led by Tim Schulte, the lantern procession then set off.Once they arrived at the sports field, the annual St. Martin play was already waiting. The story of St. Martin and his generous deed – when he shared his coat with a freezing beggar – was impressively staged with a real horse. Afterwards, all the children received traditional St. Martin’s goose cookies, which they symbolically shared with their loved ones. After the play, the parents’ council invited everyone to a cozy get-together and made sure that no one had to stay hungry or thirsty. There was hot mulled wine for the adults and delicious children’s punch for the children. The parent representatives also offered sausages and other hearty snacks. Every year, the St. Martin’s festival is a highlight that brings the school community closer together and teaches the children about compassion and community in a fun way. Thanks to the support of the Parents’ Council and the commitment of teachers and parents, we were able to celebrate another atmospheric festival this year, which will certainly be remembered for a long time. We would like to thank all the helpers and participants who made this year’s St. Martin’s Festival an unforgettable experience.

Our school has received new soccer jerseys for all age groups thanks to the generous support of sponsor Sinalco. The enthusiasm among the students is great, because the new jerseys catch the eye and promote team spirit on the pitch. The jerseys feature a modern design in the school colors, combined with the well-known Sinalco logo on the chest. All age groups – from U10 to U19 – benefit from the kit. The uniform clothing not only gives the team a good visual appearance, but also conveys an image of cohesion and professionalism. The new jerseys will be used at all upcoming school tournaments, friendly matches and regional championships, and the students are more motivated than ever to perform at their best.
