K5 Program

Last Thursday, all the K5 students assembled in the gym for an end of the year program. Here is a short clip of their singing. Each class sang songs in German and English.
Thank you so much to our K5 teachers, Frau Bay, Frau Braun, Frau Spinti, Frau Stolp, and of course our music teacher, Herr Warren for all their hard work with the kindergarten students! They all did such a wonderful job, and it was very cute (and impressive too) to hear everything our children learned this school year!

4th Grade Field Trip to Stony Hill School

The fourth graders visited Stony Hill Schoolhouse in Ozaukee County on June 8.  They learned what it was like to attend school in the late 1800s.

Stony Hill School is where Flag Day originated.  Bernard Cigrand was the teacher at Stony Hill School, who started Flag Day on June 14, 1885.

 In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson officially declared June 14th as National Flag Day.  The kids enjoyed learning to write with a quill pen.  They also visited Pioneer Village, a living museum from the late 1800s.

The German Ambassador to the United States, Dr. Klaus Scharioth, Visits MGIS

On April 2, 2009 Milwaukee German Immersion School was honored to have the German Ambassador to the United States as a distinguished guest. He spent time observing two classrooms, then each grade level performed songs in the gymnasium. His visit culminated in the presentation of a Duetsche Partnerschule Award to our principal, Dr. Brugger.


Dr. Scharioth spoke about the school and the broadened worldview our children have as a result of their experiences and education at MGIS.


Mayor Barrett was on hand for the Ambassador's visit.


Dr. Brugger listening as the Ambassador describes why MGIS has been selected for the Partnership School distinction. It was exciting for the school to be recognized in this way, and to have Dr. Scharioth as a guest.
