This week is German-American week and we are celebrating fun facts about the German speaking world. Did you know that tuition is free at German universities, even to international students?  Germany is one of the most popular countries to study for international students because of the low cost and academic excellence.  As mentioned, this week is German-American week at and to celebrate, we have placed German trivia cards around the school each day. You should look for a German-themed trivia card which we have placed in several places throughout the school (hint: bulletin boards).  Once you find the card, bring it to Ms. Boost in room 103, answer the question correctly, and receive a prize!
