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! Please send comments about German Day and suggestions for improvement to Dr. Shaughnessy german-at-washjeff.edu
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, to the Goethe Institut of New York, Deutsche Welle, and the German Embassy in Washington for their sponsorship with prizes.
A huge round of applause to the students of German from Washington and Jefferson for all of their hard work and planning. Local W&J Planners were Cathy Altmeyer and Dr. Michael Shaughnessy.
