Ein letzter Blick in der alten Schule

Am vergangenen Samstag hatten aktuelle und ehemalige Schülerinnen und Schüler eine letzte Chance, die Schulgebäude der Ketteler-La-Roche-Schule am Maasgrund zu besichtigen. Seit April findet der Schulbetrieb im Neubau an der Neumühle statt.

Für zwei Stunden wurden die Türen der fast leeren Räume in den alten Gebäuden noch einmal geöffnet. Aber nur fast. Denn einige der nicht umgezogenen Gegenstände konnten gegen eine Spende an den Förderverein käuflich erworben und als Andenken mitgenommen werden. Dazu zählten unter anderem Bücher, Bilder, Porzellan, Kerzenständer, Holzkreuze und alte Kostüme.

Für manche Besucher war es auch eine Gelegenheit, Bereiche des Gebäudekomplexes zu erkunden, die sie zuvor noch nie betreten hatten. Oder es war einfach die Chance, noch einmal in den alten Klassenraum zu schauen und Abschied von der Kapelle zu nehmen.

Worldfest at Frankfurt International School – Award for Astrid Kastening

The Japanese stand at the WorldfestLast Sunday saw the annual Worldfest held at Frankfurt International School in Oberursel.

This year the food from the 16 participating countries ranged from Coronation Chicken (Great Britain) to Kashk va bademjan (Iran) and from Kangaroo kebabs (Australia) to Falafel (Israel).

I also discovered a new drink to try: Mango Lassi from India – a mixture of mango purée and yoghurt.

One of the highlights of the afternoon was the presentation of the Mark E. Ulfers Leadership Award to Astrid Kastening. [Read more…]

A sponsored walk to Oberstedten and back

The starting point for the sponsored walk near OberstedtenLast Sunday saw a flurry of activity in the woods between the northern end of Oberursel and nearby Oberstedten.  Several hundred children and parents from the local Waldorf school were holding a sponsored walk to raise money for a school  in South Africa.

Although the school itself borders on the area, the start was actually located some distance away in the woods itself – signs led those like myself who had gone to the school instead from the gates along a trail to get there.

Once at the check-in point, the walk itself took a circuit that was about 1 km long, with the walkers being sponsored on a per-lap basis.  Over 300 people were expected to take part.

The sponsorship money raised will be put to use in a project at the Dassenberg Waldorf School in South Africa who have had a partnership with the school in Oberursel for the past 15 years. [Read more…]
