Mr. Sedore and 16 Edsel Ford Students were able to attend the German Day Competition at U of M Ann Arbor last Friday. It was the first in-person competition since 2020 and it was great to be back — it’s an opportunity for our students to test their German skills in 20 different events, competing against hundreds of students from high schools all over Michigan. This year, Edsel students won 11 awards, our highest total in several years. We are especially proud of our win in the “German For All” category — Edsel has won this event nearly every year since 2010. This year, our students baked different German pastries and shared them with residents of the Beaumont Common retirement community.
If you see these students, please congratulate them!
