h2. Register Now!

REGISTER NOW! Registration materials should be returned by mail to Carla Lussem by *August 28th*. If you register late, there is no guarantee that your child will be able to enroll for the school year. 

h2. Steuben Parade - Saturday, September 8, 2007

All children are invited to participate, even if they are new to our school. Children should wear dirndls or leiwl/lederhosen or anything "German-like". Parents are asked to accompany their children on the trip, since it will be difficult to adequately supervise them. If this is not possible, perhaps you can ask another family to supervise your child. I hope you will make every effort to participate, since this is an excellent opportunity to teach your children to be proud of their heritage. Parents are encouraged to march along, too! Be sure to visit the German Fest on Lincoln Avenue after the parade.
