Last week we had the pleasure of welcoming writer and poet Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond at our San Francisco Campus.
Events
Events are a great part of school life, bringing together all members of the GISSV community, and giving us an opportunity to celebrate and engage in conversations.
Among our recurring annual public events are a German Holiday Market, where we transform Downtown Mountain View into a bustling “holiday village” for a day, or the Laternenfest (Lantern Festival) on our San Francisco Campus with on-campus entertainment and a lantern parade through the neighborhood.
Campus events for the GISSV community celebrate American as well as German holidays, sportsmanship (Walk-a-Thon, soccer matches with schools in the Bay Area), music (talent show, concerts), community (Summer Fest, Gala) and more.
EVENT NEWS
We took part in the city-wide Walk and Bike/Roll to School Day for the very first time at our SF Castro Campus on Wednesday, May 4!
Students and teachers from both campuses had a blast dancing, taking pictures at the photo booth, and eating shaved ice at our summer beach party.
Our first in person community night at the 'Sharks Tank' was a great success!
