Congratulations to all our students who participated in the 2026 German Schülerkongress at the University of Kansas on Saturday, February 28! 🎉 KU hosted nearly 200 high school students from across Kansas for a full day of competition in German-language poetry, prose, and culture events. It was an exciting and engaging experience for students studying German throughout the state! 📚✨
A special thank you to Mrs. Meagan Meneley, German Teacher (German I–IV & Honors German II) and German Club Sponsor, for her leadership and dedication to our students! 👏🇩🇪
