German Language School Conference
Homestay Program in Ingelheim, Germany
June 16 to July 7, 2012
The GLSC proudly sponsors a Homestay Program for younger students, 12 to 16, who have studied German for one or preferably more years. The host school is the ‘Kaiserpfalz-Realschule plus’ in Ingelheim, near Frankfurt.
We are a GAPP (German American Partnership Program) exchange.
Students use German in a German-speaking environment every day, living with carefully screened host families. The American group also prepares a ‘show and tell report’ as part of its ambassadorial mission; journals are kept during daily contact with the chaperones.
The group attends school with the host brother or sister in Ingelheim, enjoys local events and travels as a group. Also included are a Rhine River cruise with a castle excursion, visits to the Gutenberg Museum Print Shop in Mainz, the Roman side of Cologne and other places of interest to teenagers. The American group will in 2012 stay near the French border and Freiburg, as their special part of the study-travel trip.
Cost: $2,400.00, which includes airfare. Apply now.
Two experienced Chaperones travel with the group

Dear Parents, Alumnae, Alumni and Friends of the German School of Connecticut,
We hope you have started a wonderful New Year afresh and wanted to remind you of our request to generously support the German School of Connecticut’s Annual Fund. When considering the reasons for helping the German School of Connecticut remember that it is all about helping our children master German and understand the Germanic culture. As more and more schools reduce their language departments it is up to us to assure the continuity of German Language in Connecticut. The monies raised during the Annual Fund drive will be used to support students, faculty, educational partnerships, and projects that contribute directly to our students
Because you have a vital interest in the school and its mission; your financial support is critical to the success of German School of Connecticut. Your support is needed now to close the gap between what we charge for tuition and what it actually costs to educate a student. Why is there a gap? We make great efforts to keep our tuition affordable; however, tuition does not cover the full cost of education. This shortfall can only be eliminated through corporate fundraising and other fundraising events such as the Pausentisch, book sales and the bread sale. But this not enough! We are dependent on the generosity of our parents thorough the Annual Fund, which is supported by gifts from alumnae, faculty/staff, parents, past parents, and by those who simply want to support a German school in Connecticut.
In conjunction with your support of the Annual Fund you may also decide to continue the support to the Ulrich Geldmacher Memorial Fund. This will support a scholarship for a student to attend German School of Connecticut.
We are aiming at a 100% parent contribution. We are optimistic that this, our seventh Annual Fund campaign, will finally allow us to reach this goal. Please help us. No contribution is too small. That you contribute is more important than how much you give. Your support will help us build the strong and rewarding learning environment for our students that you expect, as well as provide us with the much needed support to carry GSC into the future.
You can make your, in many cases, tax deductible contribution at the “registrar´s table” in Stamford or Hartford or, just mail your donation to The German School of Connecticut c/o Annette Flogaus-Bareiss, 113 Old North Stamford Rd, Stamford, Ct. 06905.
Sincerely,
Annette Flogaus-Bareiss
Member of the Board of Directors/ Fundraising
