Hard to believe, but our school year is completed and now it's time to celebrate! Our "Abschlussfeier" will take place on Saturday, May 15 - as always this is an outdoor event on the grounds of the Boylston Schul-Verein in Walpole (8 County Road/Rte 109. For directions click here). We've outgrown the "Festsaal" inside the BSV Clubhouse many years ago, so festivities will take place under the pavilion. Many of you are "Abschlussfeier veterans" and know the drill. For our newcomers, here are few helpful tips: 
 
 

• This is an outdoor event which takes place (rain or shine) under the pavilion. Weather looks actually pretty good for this Saturday, but even on a nice day (and surely on a rainy day) it tends to be a little cooler under the pavilion, especially in the morning. Dress yourselves and your children with this in mind!
• Students should arrive at the Schul-Verein by 9.45 am to allow time for the teachers to organize their classes and have the children seated
• The official festivities will commence at 10.00 am and will consist of student presentations by class (only K-5 grades) as well as the presentation of certificates and diplomas to upper grade students.
• Some teachers have asked the children to wear particular colors, depending on the theme of their presentation.
• If for any reason your child(ren) is/are not able to participate, please notify the respective teacher(s) ahead of time.

 
After the presentation, all of you are invited to join us for lunch. As always, there will be plenty of games and activities for the children as well – weather permitting, of course, but as mentioned, the outlook is good. This is a fun event for the entire school community to come together to celebrate another year of school, but also to have fun and enjoy yourselves. The event team is working hard to ensure there's enough food and fun for everyone. Please make every effort to come and join us to celebrate! For those who would like to receive extra copies of the year book, we will have them for sale ($2/book). Any questions, send them off to news@germansaturdayschoolboston.org.
