This just came in: Uta Fuchs, 2nd Grade teacher and head teacher for the elementary level grades at our school won a grant to pay for the participation at the ACTFL Conference in Florida this fall. The ACTFL Conference is the largest conference of teachers of foreign languages in the U.S. and a great forum to learn about the latest teaching methods in foreign language instruction. The grant was given by the StADaF (Ständige Arbeitsgruppe Deutsch als Fremdsprache) Group at the German Embassy in Washington, D.C. (with support of their arts & culture department). 11 grants were selected by lottery - and Uta Fuchs was among the lucky winners. Congratulations!
