In addition to the parent representatives and their committees, the “Förderverein Mierie e.V.” is the heart of parent work at the Mierendorff School. In recent years, it has been able to financially support numerous projects and purchases that go beyond the regular school budget.
In November, club members and headmaster Mr. Schnelle came together for the annual general meeting. The board, Mr. Rakowsky and Ms. Streblow were thanked for their commitment and both were confirmed in their office. In terms of content, the focus was on the 2023/2024 activity report. Thanks to donations in kind and money worth over €6,000 and committed parents, the association has been able to realize many projects in the past two years: For example, two flea markets were organized, school enrollment ceremonies were organized, school and sports festivals were actively supported, the school garden was equipped, a new sound system for events was purchased and the robot AG was offered.
This valuable work is to be continued in 2025. At the general meeting, it was also discussed how the integration of the welcome students can be promoted even more. The association is still looking for support for the numerous planned projects in the new year. Membership is a good way to actively participate in the development of the school and to stand up for the interests of the students. Information on this and the membership application can be found here.
A final highlight in 2024 is still to come: In the coming week, the Christmas tree donated by the Förderverein will be set up in the foyer of the school and festively decorated. With this in mind, we wish you a relaxed and happy pre-Christmas season!
