Goethe-Institut Prize Winner!
The Goethe-Institut has selected Westgate for the Award of Excellence 2010-2011 in German! We were declared a winner after we participated in the "Generation Einheit" contest. As a result, we were allowed to select one student to take part in a German course in Germany with the Goethe-Institut paying for the tuition and the flight. Kathryn Kroeker was the winner of the a school contest that involved an essay and an interview with a panel of teachers, administration and a board member. Kathryn will be attending a language course in Grainau, a pictureque town in Bavaria with a lovely view of the Alps.
Lern viel, Kathryn!
