On Friday, September 12, JFKS held its traditional Einschulung ceremony for the new Entrance Class students and their families in the newly renovated large Aula.

They were welcomed by American Elementary School Principal Steven Pothen and German Elementary School Principal and Managing Director Reinhard Roth.

The 2nd grade and the Suzuki violin students presented special performances, before all 95 new students‘ names were called by their homeroom teachers who led them to their classrooms for the traditional handing-over of the Schultüten.

Congratulations and a warm welcome to the JFKS community!

On Friday, September 12, a group of JFKS students from the elementary and high school participated in a memorial event celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s visit to Berlin organized by the US Embassy and the Stiftung Berliner Mauer.

Ms. Cook put together a vocal ensemble of 8-9th grade students for this occasion which provided the wonderful musical accompaniment for the celebration.

JFKS elementary students Chloe, Helena (both 4th grade) and James (6th grade) read their essays from this year’s Martin Luther King essay competition.

All JFKS students received very positive feed-back for their contributions and afterwards had a chance to meet Dr. Steele and Dr. LaFayette from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

Other participants included students from the Rosa-Luxemburg-Gymnasium and the Ernst-Reuter-Oberschule.

This coming Friday, September 19 at 16:00h, the Drama Department will need volunteers to clean out and organize their storage basement. Especially people who are able to help carry heavy items would be helpful.

Let’s get ready for another fun season of plays and musicals!!

Please contact Becci McDaniel:

Attention: This event is only for German speaking students.

What do I do if I have questions regarding attendance or activities on my report card from the previous academic year?

1. For attendance:

• See your Tutor from 2013/14.
• If that teacher is not at JFKS this year, see Mr. Anderson.
• He/She may then submit your report card, with corrections, to Frau Stephan.

2. For activities:

• See your activity’s faculty advisor, teacher or coach.
• If your activity leader is not at JFKS this year, see Mr. Anderson.
• He/She may then submit your report card, with corrections, to Frau Stephan.

In either case, this must be done by September 5, 2014.
