AEACMS celebrated Oktoberfest last Friday, thanks to the leadership of German teacher/language coordinator Frau Goehler and the language department. They were ably assisted by a group of committed parent volunteers and supported by the entire middle school teaching staff.
The Oktoberfest activities included a number of cultural games (one of these challenged students to leap and nibble pretzels from a string; another tested how quickly students could hammer a nail into a log) as well as an array of pastries and of course, bratwurst.
Students in grades 6-8 participated in the festivities, and especially for those who have not studied German, the experience was a positive step in developing cultural understanding and appreciation.
