Why join AATG???

CONGRATULATIONS!!! to Kellye Deane at Gretna High School, Wendy Brennan at Millard North, Marissa Wanamaker at Lincoln High and Yulia Evans at Lincoln East and their students who scored well on the National German Exam.  
126 students in Nebraska took the exam.  Kellye Deane had one student receiving the Goldurkunde.  9 students received the Silberurkunde (from Gretna, Millard North, Lincoln High and Lincoln East) and 13 received the Bronzeurkunde also from the 4 schools listed.  We'll wait to see if anyone wins the trip award from AATG.  It would be good to see more students from more schools take the exam.  

Congratulations to NDE Distinguished Scholars and their teachers:
Brenda Schiermeyer, Fremont High  (Student Bethany Miller, Novice Level--high honors)
Wendy Brennan, Millard North (Student Marisa Powell, Novice Lebel--high honors, Alida Grobbelaar, high honors)
Rae Fahrlander, Bellevue East (Student Ryan Wagner, Intermediate Low--high honors)
Jason Pitt, Millard North (Student Allan Muinov, level 5, AP, IB)

Honors Level:

The Exam, now in its 57th year, provides individual diagnostic feedback, rewards students through an extensive prize program, and creates a sense of accomplishment.
