Ooltewah Elementary School To Implement Traditional German Ceremony

  • Friday, August 12, 2016

Ooltewah Elementary School (OES) has been teaching German lessons to German and American children since the 2014-2015 school year. This year, in an attempt to integrate both cultures, they will also be implementing a German tradition for Kindergarten’s first full day of school. Each Kindergarten student will receive a “Schultüte” (a school cone) on their first day with their entire class.

 

In Germany students receive a very colorful cone full of school supplies and treats on their first day of school.

The students carry this cone with them to a short ceremony and then to school. Picking out the perfect cone and exhibiting it around school is a very big event that new students look forward to each year.
