Students and teachers from Gutenberg-Gymnasium in Erfurt, Germany have been visiting Bowling Green since October 25th as part of the German American Partnership Program (GAPP). The group has spent time shadowing host students at Bowling Green High School, weekends with local families, seeing local attractions and learning about local government. Today, they are both sharing about their home and school as well as experiencing a day at an American elementary school with T. C. Cherry.

🇩🇪 GAPP is a nonprofit for school-to-school exchanges with U.S. schools, helping participants learn about language and culture.

Led by Dr. Ferrel Rose at BGHS, this is the 25th year and 10th exchange between the two schools.
