Netzaberg Elementary School Newsletter

Groundhog Day isn’t just about waiting for a furry little critter to predict the weather—it’s also an excellent opportunity to teach young students about traditions, seasons, and making predictions. Earlier this month, at Netzaberg Elementary, third-grade students had a blast learning all about this tradition while making predictions of their own.

A new club at Netzaberg Elementary is putting safety first with the launch of its Safety Patrol program. Comprised of students in grades 2 through 5, the club was created by students who expressed a strong desire to help maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone at the school.

As a teacher, there are moments that stand out, and watching my fifth graders, Colt N. and Jeb A., dive into a STEAM challenge is one of those moments. These two exceptional students are making waves in the world of robotics, combining programming, engineering, and design to create a robot aimed at assisting marine biologists with tasks like tracking a large school of fish.

Netzaberg Elementary School recently transformed into a lively celebration as students took part in the annual Fasching Day Parade. The event, a cherished German tradition, was made possible through the collaboration of Host Nation and Special Area educators, bringing cultural enrichment and excitement to the entire school community.
