Representatives from the Ann Arbor Public Schools once again proved themselves to be noteworthy. From Slauson Middle School, students arrived with their teacher Denise Socher. From Tappan Middle School, teacher Danielle Capitan brought her students.
Two teachers, Robert Lederer and Astrid Tackett, brought students from Pioneer High School. Huron High School students arrived with their teacher, Andrew Smith.
The AAPS students won a number of prizes in first, second, and third places, as well as “honorable mention” medals. For several consecutive years, AAPS students have left the competition with many medals.
A special award was given to Robert Leder from Pioneer High School. He was named German Teacher of the Year by the U of M’s German Department. German teachers around the state have a profound respect for Robert.
As is usually the case, the Ann Arbor students were the only participants to arrive at the event by foot. Students from Huron High School, led by Andrew Smith, had the longest trip: 2.8 miles.
