MLWGS students and families will be hosting 20 German exchange students and two teachers from Munich. The visit is part of a two-week German-American Partnership Program (GAPP) exchange April 7-17. Join us for an unforgettable journey filled with opportunities to learn, connect, and grow!<\/p>\n

In addition to visiting Maggie Walker, the German students will participate in several field trips, including the State Capitol, VMFA, Monticello, UVA, Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Washington, D.C. The D.C. visit includes a tour of the U.S. Capitol, a Wizards game,\u00a0 and a view from the top of the Washington Monument. It is sure to be an amazing time. Eighteen Maggie Walker students, chaperoned by Mr. White and Ms. Macklin will visit our partner school, the Carl-Orff Gymnasium near Munich, for 16 days in June. The group will start with a four-day sightseeing tour of Berlin and Potsdam before taking the train to our partner school in Munich.<\/span><\/p>\n

Special recognition and gratitude go to Ms. Kristen Macklin for coordinating the details that made this exchange possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
