Today was a very special day for our former kindergarten children: they were officially welcomed into primary school. In keeping with tradition, they walked from the kindergarten to the school, proudly carrying their colorful “Schultüten” (traditional German school cones filled with sweets and school supplies).
Upon arrival, the entire school community greeted them with cheerful singing. The excitement and joy were clearly visible on everyone’s faces.
The celebration continued in the gym, where a festive program had been prepared. The two primary school principals, Mrs. Bezabih and Mrs. Wagner, introduced themselves, followed by a welcoming speech from our head of school, Mr. Hasse.
A special highlight of the day was the wonderful musical performance by the 2nd grade students, which brought big smiles to the faces of the new first graders and their families.
To conclude the day, the children of classes 1a and 1b were able to explore their new classrooms together with their teachers – a very exciting moment marking the official beginning of their school journey.
We wish all our new first graders a wonderful start to their school life and many happy experiences in the years ahead!
