ORANGE HUNT ELEMENTARY German Choral Singers, Springfield, Fairfax County, Virginia

Every year during the holiday season the Rotary Club of West Springfield invites Springfield area school students to perform at one of our club meetings.  We meet every Wednesday at 7:30 AM at the Springfield Golf and Country Club on Old Keene Mill Road.

This morning we were entertained by the Orange Hunt Elementary School German Choir.  Fairfax County Public Schools have foreign language immersion programs available at the elementary school level.  Orange Hunt Elementary teaches German.  This choir of elementary school children entertained us with a selection of German Christmas Carols and they were OUTSTANDING.  The citizens of Fairfax County can be proud of programs like this that broaden our children's knowledge of our world.  I am not showing pictures of these kids for the very obvious reason it would not be wise on the internet and I don't have parental permission, but they were very enthusiastic and confident of their German singing ability.

 

The ROTARY CLUB OF WEST SPRINGFIELD actively supports Springfield area schools with scholarships of various types and also provides teacher awards and grants.

Please call me at 703-690-6569 if you would like further information about our club and the various ways we support our community

What a wonderful program they have at Orange Hunt Elementary.  I'm so jealous.  Growing up speaking German at home allowed me to learn at a very young age, and as I got into high school I had an opportunity to finally learn the proper grammar and how to read and write the language.  I would have loved the opportunity to have such a program for my own children today.  Sadly our city didn't offer German until the high school years, and due to funding cuts, it has been completely eliminated from our curriculum.  You don't know how lucky you are in your county to have such programming.  I'm so happy for you and the community at large.
