The German Day Competition 2004 took place at Washington and Jefferson College on Thursday, March 11th and was our best ever! More than 400 German students from 13 schools in the Western PA area took part in this great event.
The 13 schools were:
Canon-MacMillan, Chartiers Valley, Connellsville, Frick I.S.A., Quaker Valley, Sewickley Academy, Mt. Lebanon, Shady Side Academy, Upper St. Clair, Baldwin High, Bethel Park, Fox Chapel Area, and Peters Twp.
We would like to thank all of the teachers and students who contributed and who made this such a wonderful day. We hope to see you again next year!
A very special thanks to the Bayer Corporation for providing funding for prizes and for providing the judges, and to the AATG Chapter Project Grant Fund for providing funding for prizes.
A huge round of applause to Mike Shaunessey and all of the students of German from Washington and Jefferson for all of their hard work and planning. Thanks also to the Dean of Students for providing the teacher lunches.
