German Students Celebrate Oktoberfest
The seventh and eighth grade German students celebrated Oktoberfest recently with some traditional favorite food and drink of Germany (no beir though). They sang the song Schnitzelbank, an American Oktoberfest favorite sing-a-long.
Oktoberfest is celebrated in Germany in the city of Munich for 16 days from late September until the first week of October. Over five million come to Munich to celebrate this festival which began in 1810 as a large wedding celebration. At Holy Angels, the celebration is a little smaller but probably almost as much fun!
