The Foundation’s first-ever “Celebrate Success” event brought together more than 75 business professionals from across Southeastern Wisconsin to network and make connections, this January. The event, held at the Grohmann Museum in downtown Milwaukee, raised more than $4,500 to support German Immersion education in Milwaukee. View photos of the night.
The following organizations generously sponsored the successful event:
Both the Milwaukee German Immersion School and the Milwaukee School of Languages German program have a variety of items they still need to fund for the 2012-2013 school year. Review the Wish List and contact the Foundation if you are able to help fund one of these classroom needs.
Supporting five intern positions for one school year requires up to 20 families. But as families graduate out of the MGIS and MSL programs we need to find new families able to host an intern for 9 weeks or one semester. Families who have hosted in the past have found the experience very rewarding, benefited from learning more about the German culture, and having a native speaker able to regularly interact with their children to increase their language skills.
If you don't have the ability to host, or are not able to meet the program's requirements, you can recommend the opportunity to a family member or family of a classmate. An Amity Host Family FAQ is available by clicking here.

The German Immersion Foundation believes in the value and
benefits of a bilingual education. To this goal, the Foundation was
created to enhance and support the programs of the Milwaukee German
Immersion School and the Milwaukee School of Languages - both part of
the Milwaukee Public Schools.
The German Immersion Foundation provides the extra support necessary to
maintain and build excellence in the teaching and educational programs
that have won national and international acclaim for our schools and
our children.
The Foundation has created a process where teachers and administrators apply for grants to fund activities that in the past were funded by the school budget.
German Immersion language education
provides children with the academic, social,
and economic benefits
of becoming bilingual in German and English.
Milwaukee German Immersion School is a 4-year old kindergarten through grade 5 elementary school founded by Milwaukee Public Schools in 1977.
