Kindergarten
Report

From German Cultural Society, St. Louis
The Kindergarten had a busy spring and is now enjoying a nice relaxing
vacation until early September ! From all of our Kindergarten
families. It was so nice to see so many people come and support our
Bingo & Kaffeeflatch in March! As many of you know, this event
which the Kindergarten sponsors, helps support our annual Easter egg
hunt, Easter treats, and Christmas Goody bags. The weather was on the
cooler side, but thanks to the turnout, we had a lovely day. We just
missed the heavy snow that followed that weekend! We want to thank the
close to 100 folks who came out to play Bingo! (yeah!) By supporting
this event, you support the Kindergarten!
Our Kinder greatly appreciate this! We also want to thank all
those who donated cakes, attendance prizes, and raffle prizes. We also
want to thank: Mrs. Gerda Glasz for preparing the coffee; John
Unterreiner for setting up our sound system; to Opa Mike Wendl for
calling Bingo; to Frau Susi Goebel (our wonderful Instructor) for
helping with music, I, & general organization; and all our parent
volunteers for helping as runners, counting change, helping with
refreshments and snacks, assistance with a silent auction item (new
this year!), and general set-up and clean-up of the hall.
To our Kindergarten families and parents: This event is possible
because of your involvement and participation! To those who were able
to make it, ‘thank you.’ We appreciate your child’s (or
children’s) involvement in the Kindergarten, and also recognize
everyone who helps to make that involvement possible during the school
year. On behalf of the GCS, thank you for providing your time, effort,
participation, and support to the society in order to make this a
successful event.
Turning now to our Easter Egg Hunt…the weather was quite a different
story! Thank you to the hearty souls who braved the wind, rain and mud
to join the hunt! Thank you…thank you… thank you (hundert mal) to
the Deutschmeister Brass Band whose members also braved the weather in
order to come and provide music for our concert! (Your music put many
smiles on otherwise literally “damp” faces that afternoon!) Thank
you also to Ralph Hoffarth for providing assistance with tables,
chairs, and refreshments.
I would like to personally thank Frau Kathy Vollmann, our Assistant
Chair for communication, for all of her efforts this past school year
(she keeps the information moving!), and Frau Susi Goebel, our
Instructor, for all of her time and talent that is given to the
Kindergarten each year! Susi, what would we do without you?
For the 2011-2012 school year, Kindergarten will officially
resume again on Saturday, September 10th, 2011. Look for
the session schedule, announcements, and details to be forthcoming
soon. We look forward to seeing all of our families in the fall!
Nocheinmals,
Vielen Dank!
