AAPS German Classes to Chicago: Huron, Pioneer, Slauson, and Tappan

Once again, those students in the Ann Arbor Public Schools who are enrolled in a German class were invited to attend Chicago’s Christkindlmarkt. The City of Chicago organizes an annual Christmas market on Daley Plaza.

This market re-creates a central European outdoor holiday market.

On Friday, December 15, 2018, a fleet of charter buses carried students from Huron High School, Pioneer High School, Slauson Middle School, and Tappan Middle School to Chicago. The students were accompanied by their teachers - Danielle Capitan, Robert Lederer, Andrew Smith, Denise Socher, and Astrid Tackett - as well as a group of volunteer parent chaperones.

The group left Ann Arbor between 7:45 and 8:00 in the morning. A good time was had by all. They returned late in the evening on that same date.

Danielle Capitan teaches at Tappan Middle School; Robert Lederer and Astrid Tackett teach at Pioneer High School; Andrew Smith teaches at Huron High School; Denise Socher teaches at Slauson Middle School.
