Highlights from the District 99 German Music Exchange!!!



The German Exchange Program with our friends from Bietigheim-Bissingen has a longstanding tradition of creating life-changing experiences and positive, lifelong memories for everyone involved. This year was no exception. Our District 99 families and faculty, along with our German counterparts had a wonderful experience last week. Here are just a handful of images that capture some of the magic of the trip. 
Thank you for everyone that came together to make this such a huge success!  Until next time, Lebewohl! Farewell!
