The 2010 Ben Franklin Frühlingsfeier and International Festival was a huge success this year. The weather was perfect, the music was jamming and the food was a multicultural adventure with a touch of Nawlins spice. The Dragon Dance and Vietnamese fashion shows were hits, as well as the new Pie throwing event were students got a chance to cream their favorite teacher or classmates!
Over 600 people attended and the proceeds increasing by nearly 50% this year. A report on the proceeds distribution will be coming soon. In the meantime, we would like to thank the Deutsches Haus for donating the use of their faculty, the BFHSA for organizing the silent auction, and all the BFHS clubs and teams that ran the event. We could not have thrown this festival without each and every one of you.
We look forward to next year’s festival which is scheduled for the last Saturday of March. For information on how to volunteer or donate contact rachel_becker@benfranklinhighschool.org. |
