German Day Competition
2005
March 10, 2005
The German Day Competition 2004 took place at Washington and Jefferson College on Thursday, March 10th and was our best ever! More than 400 German students from 12 schools in the Western PA area took part in this great event.
The 12 schools were:
Baldwin Whithall, Bethel Park, Canon-MacMillan, Chartiers Valley, Connellsville, Fox Chapel, Mt. Lebanon, North Allegheny, Penn Hills (Linton Middle School), Schenley, Shady Side Academy, and Upper St. Clair (Fourt Couch Middle).
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.
Another to Peg Grasso for her tireless work organizing the schedule and ensuring that the event runs smoothly.
