PROJECT | CLIMATE CHANGE My name is Ann-Christine, I'm in 12th grade and the student council president from last year. I am currently organizing a climate week with the Green School AG.
The week will be kicked off this Friday, Sept. 20th, by showing a documentary from The National Geographic about climate change. Afterwards each class will work on different projects. After lunch the students will have a chance to participate in a peaceful strike on the school grounds recognizing climate change . For this particular part on Friday, the Green School AG and I would like to invite all parents. The strike will start at 1:20 pm on the upper soccer field. You can bring posters if you would like.
We hope you care as much about earth as we do and want to show the world that it is important to change our current lifestyle!
Kids who are not interested in striking will have regular class.
Next week we will have a different theme each day and on Friday, Sept. 27th, we'll finish everything off with an assembly in the auditorium.
If you have questions, feel free to contact me.(Arichmann@gsny.org)
Mein Name ist Ann-Christine, ich bin in der 12. Klasse und die Schülersprecherin vom letzten Jahr. Ich organisiere gerade eine Klimawoche mit der Green School AG.
Die Woche beginnt am Freitag, den 20. September, mit einer Dokumentation von The National Geographic über den Klimawandel. Anschließend werden in jeder Klasse unterschiedliche Projekte bearbeitet. Nach dem Mittagessen haben die Schüler die Möglichkeit, an einem friedlichen Klimastreik auf dem Schulhof teilzunehmen. Für diesen besonderen Teil des Freitags möchten die Grüne Schule und ich alle Eltern einladen. Der Streik beginnt um 13:20 Uhr auf dem oberen Fußballplatz. Sie können Poster mitbringen, wenn Sie möchten. Wir hoffen, Sie interessieren sich genauso für die Erde wie wir und möchten der Welt zeigen, dass es wichtig ist, unseren aktuellen Lebensstil zu ändern! Kinder, die nicht streiken möchten, werden regelmäßig unterrichtet.
In der Woche danach haben wir jeden Tag ein anderes Thema, und am Freitag, dem 27. September, beenden wir die Woche mit allen Schülern in der Aula.
Wenn Sie Fragen haben, können Sie mich gerne kontaktieren. (Arichmann@gsny.org)

Sprechstunde | Kirsten Sträter In diesem Schuljahr biete ich in meinem Büro für alle Eltern und Erziehungsberechtigten jeden Dienstag in der Zeit von 08.30 – 09.15 Uhr eine offene Sprechstunde an. Jeder von Ihnen ist herzlich eingeladen und willkommen, wenn Sie beispielsweise eine zweite Meinung benötigen, sich beraten lassen wollen oder irgendwie anderweitig meine Hilfe benötigen. Mein Büro befindet sich im Grundschulflur, direkt neben dem Büro von Frau Dr. Brümmer. Ich freue mich auf Sie.
This school year I will have office hours from 8.30 - 9. 15 am every Tuesday as an open consulting hour. Parents/guardians are cordially invited and welcome to discuss or seek advice or a second opinion regarding their child's education, development or performance. My office is located in the lower school corridor directly next to Dr. Brümmer's office. I look forward to seeing you.
