On July 10^th all students will meet between 7:45 and 8:00 a.m. at the BTS sports complex for our annual Bundesjugendspiele.

The entrance to the sports field is located at the BTS parking lot:

99 Gärten, Building No. 19, 95445 Bayreuth

Please make sure to drop your child off at the BTS sports complex
between 7:45 and no later than 8:00 a.m.

Please note: There will be no teacher supervision at the BTS site before 7:45 a.m. Children who normally take the school shuttle bus will be dropped off directly at the BTS sports complex that day.

Please ensure your child brings enough to drink. After the Bundesjugendspiele, all students will be transported back to the school grounds by bus and can be picked up there at regular dismissal time.
Afternoon care will also run as usual. In case of heavy rain, the Bundesjugendspiele will be canceled, and regular classes will take place at school instead.If the weather is extremely hot, we ask parents to check their email starting at 9:30 a.m. for possible early dismissal due to heat.

The Bundesjugendspiele is a sports event initiated by the President of Germany and takes place annually at schools in Germany and abroad.Students are expected to demonstrate their best efforts in athletic disciplines. Our school will focus on track and field (throwing, running, and jumping).

Students’ performances will be assessed using a standardized point system. Depending on the number of points earned, students will receive either a participation, achievement, or honors certificate on the last day of school.

We would like to invite you to this year’s Summer Festival on July 18^th, starting at 1:00 p.m., held on the grounds of Schloss Thiergarten.

Our students, together with their teachers, have prepared a wonderful program and organized a variety of game stations for the children.

To help ensure we have plenty of food and refreshments, we kindly ask you to sign up on the food contribution list 😊:

The main dish will be hot dogs, with vegetarian options available. As in previous years, we will be selling meal tickets in advance, as well as activity punch cards for the game stations, which can also be purchased ahead of time.

Please note that, as in past years, parents/guardians are responsible for supervising their children during the event.

On Friday, July 25^th, 2025, the 4^th grade students will have the opportunity to take part in a very special project day. We have been invited to visit the Medical Campus at Klinikum Bayreuth.

There, the children will attend a mini lecture and explore, for example, a skeleton model. Afterwards, there will be a snack break, followed by a rotation through three Skills Lab rooms in small groups, guided by medical students. The children will get to try out various devices and even create a salve in the „witches’ kitchen.“ They will also have the chance to try on the age simulation suit GERT.

For lunch, the students will be having pasta with tomato sauce in the canteen. Your children have been invited. Many thanks ♥ (Of course you can also provide your child with their own meal).

We will depart by bus at 8:15 a.m. and return by 12:15 p.m.

The costs for bus fare will be announced and debited from your account in August. Please note: the bus fee must be paid even if your child is unable to attend, as the transportation costs are non-refundable.

• On Monday, the 1^st and 2^nd grade classes will go on the trip together.
• On Wednesday, the 3^rd and 4^th grade classes will visit the farm.

At the Ehl Adventure Farm in Goldkronach, the children will receive a guided tour and gain insight into life and work on a farm. After the tour, they will learn all about the journey „from grass to milk“ and will even get to make their own butter from cream and a herbal lemonade—and of course, taste them too!

We will have an early breakfast that day and return in time for lunch at school.

The cost contribution for the farm and bus transportation will be announced and debited from your account in August. The bus costs must be paid even if your child does not attend, as these costs are non-refundable.

Also, please make sure your child wears farm-appropriate clothing.
