The German exchange program happening right now is opened to anyone from freshmen to juniors, apart from seniors graduating this year The problem for seniors is that the german students will arrive here in october and the overbrook students will leave in august.

However seniors can help in funding or attending german meetings after school by asking Mr.Firn in b101 for more information.

Another way to help is for attending and buying sold goods at fundraisers and tournaments being hosted by the german exchange program.
