Families enjoyed the brief Schultute ceremony in the school cafeteria. After each child was presented her/his schultute and was wished "the best year ever" by Mrs. Dengel, parents and children were treated to an assortment of cookies and fruit juices. Parents enjoyed their cookies while the children opened their little treasures. Mrs. Dengel also had a giant chocolate chip cookie decorated with balloons and the words "Wilkkommen Zu Zweiten Grad" for all the new second graders. The children gathered around the giant cookie as Mrs. Dengel cut each piece into a pie shape for each one of them to consume. Parents and children were eased into a new school year beautifully, thanks to this wonderful German tradition.
