AUSGEZEICHNET! Lakeside High Cleans Up at German Competition

A few parents sent this to me, and it went out on this week's PTSA newsletter:

On January 27th and 28th, 20 of our LHS German students participated in the State German Convention held annually in Jackson, GA. Out of 21 schools, Lakeside was the most decorated school. Our students did extremely well in both the individual and group competitions. The results below show just how well-rounded our students are. Please excuse some of the phrasing, as not all German words translate nicely into English.

The students also help organize and run the convention while they are there.
