Great success for the language vocational preparation year
The BVJ-S took third place in this year’s “Tabula Rasa” campaign in Neuwied and was delighted to receive prize money of 400 euros.
The award ceremony took place last Tuesday and was attended by Ms. Raabe and two dedicated BVJ-S students. The award was presented personally by District Administrator Achim Hallerbach, who recognized the special achievements of the participants.
“Tabula Rasa” is an annual campaign organized by Neuwied Waste Management in which schools take part in a waste collection campaign to protect the environment in their immediate surroundings.
Almost 80 pupils from the BVJ-S took part in this competition. The six classes and their teachers collected a considerable amount of garbage on the school grounds and in the surrounding area, including very special items such as shopping carts, an old table football game, car tires, clothing and even engine oil. The students were very surprised that there are people who simply dispose of such dangerous waste in the forest, even though environmental protection is so important in Germany.
The school community at BBS Alice Salomon is proud of this success and is looking forward to using the prize money for environmentally friendly projects or activities in the BVJ-S. Congratulations to everyone involved for this great achievement!
