Thanksgiving is coming and so are we!!

Hello to all our friends in Germany. We are very busy planning - not only our travel and yours - but the projects that will happen this semester. Letters from Greensburg Salem French students are ON THEIR WAY to Frau Westkamp-Mohr and her French students in Germany - a new collaborative project is underway.

Next week I meet with Mrs. Audia, Mrs. Redinger, Mrs. Grace and Mrs. Glowa to start talking about plans for our visitors from Germany and to get our students started on planning their exhibition. Be sure to check the blog frequently for updates.

And - something extra: The NewLanders (the folk band that made the CD Born of Fire: Songs of Steel and Industry) will be performing here at The Westmoreland tomorrow night at 7:30 pm. The concert is a fundraiser for them for their upcoming trip to Germany (they are performing for the "Thanksgiving is coming" event). Come join us as we say "Auf wiedersehen, NewLanders!"
