Celebration for the 75th anniversary: ​​MGF sponsors strengthen school!

Kronach, Deutschland - A significant anniversary was celebrated at the Margraf-Georg-Friedrich-Gymnasium (MGF): The supporters' association committed 75. The association was founded in 1949 to support the school's pedagogical work. Deputy headmaster Armin Motschenbacher recalled past services and was pleased with the large number of desired and successful projects, which were also possible by the support of many committed members and sponsors. According to Franconian day explained Motschenbacher that the celebration could take place due to external circumstances with a small delay. Nevertheless, the party and the headmaster did not allow themselves to spoil the mood, but celebrated.

A look at the history of the sponsoring association could not be avoided during the celebration. Werner Friedlein, the 1st chairman, gave an interesting overview of the development of the association and recognized the important role that the members have played in the past. The association currently has around 330 members as well as numerous sponsors and companies that support gaps without gaps in various initiatives. The commitment to the school family extends over numerous areas, be it quick support for acute concerns or the participation of strategic projects, as explained on the website of the MGF: mgf-kulmbach.de .

social responsibility and support

A central concern of the sponsoring association is social balance, because not all families have the means to take part in all school events. Many parents, who are just above the support threshold, often fight with the costs for school trips or additional projects. Here the association jumps in and ensures that students get the same opportunities from financially weaker families. As the Deutsche Schulportal notes, support associations also take on tasks in emergencies, for example if teachers should be missing. However, this is only an exception that should not replace the state framework.

The appreciation of the district administrator Klaus Peter Söllner underlined the importance of the supporter association for the MGF. He emphasized that the district's financial resources are not sufficient to cover all the needs of the school, which is why the support of the association is indispensable. Everyone involved, be it members or supporters, was warmly thanked for this.

an all -round successful evening

After the formal speeches, the guests exchanged their outdoor trimmings in the festively decorated break hall. The evening was musically framed by the brass ensemble, Sologgesang AG and the "Bremium Brass" chapel, which all caused atmospheric sounds under the direction of Hubertus Baumann and thus contributed to an all-round successful festival. The celebration was not only an occasion to celebrate, but also a valuable opportunity to strengthen the school community and to honor the importance of commitment to education in our society.
