October 3rd is the Day of German Unity, a day to celebrate the reunification of East and West Germany. The two Germanys were officially reunited as one nation on October 3, 1990, following the fall of the Berlin Wall in November of 1989. The importance of this holiday is similar to that of our Independence Day, the 4th of July. To honor this important occasion, students in Frau Wilson's classes are encouraged to wear the colors of the German flag on October 3rd! Students can earn extra credit if they are clearly covered in Schwarz, Rot und Gold. In order to get extra credit, a student must get a paper signed by each teacher acknowledging that they were dressed accordingly all day. Papers can be obtained from Frau Wilson starting Monday, September 24th through Tuesday, October 2nd.
