back to school

Today Anita and I along with Stephanie and Mr. Beckmann, visited the Gustav-Heinemann Schulzentrum. It was really cool - murals painted on the walls and students artwork hanging everywhere. The head of the school met with us and gave us a tour. He talked about the new school building, equipped art rooms, and even solar panels on the roof for energy. The students school day used to end at 2:00 for more family time, but the school is now changing for a longer school day. Students have some really creative videos planned. We had our picture taken for two newspapers. We visited the new Folkwang Museum in Essen, went to a special meeting of friends of the museum and then a delicious dinner. I'm exhausted! What a great day!
