Great joy at the Karlstrasse elementary school: almost 10,000 euros for a green classroom!
On September 26, 2025, a remarkable fundraising event took place at the Karlstrasse elementary school in Cologne. With the aim of financing a “green classroom”, a total of 273 students laced up their running shoes and raised almost 10,000 euros. This sum will be used to create a natural outdoor learning space on the school premises, which will enrich the learning environment of school children. The students are proud of their achievement, which they achieved with great enthusiasm and joy, and the great support of their parents also contributed to the high total.
Why was this fundraiser so important? Two thirds of the money raised came directly from the parents who pledged each round, while the remaining third was secured through funding from local companies and organizations. “It shows how committed the school community in Cologne is,” reported a member of the support association. At this event, not only the best runners were celebrated and awarded medals and trophies. The support association also made sure that there was no shortage of cakes, pretzels and drinks - all financed by donations from parents.
The support of the project
The realization of the “Green Classroom” is planned for spring 2026. The school community is looking forward to the first lessons in this newly created learning area. The organizers are particularly proud of the support from various local partners. Thanks to the commitment of groups such as the Rotary Club, Lions Club, the city of Holzminden and other sponsors, including Elektrojust, Augenoptik Schröder and Symrise, the event was able to be implemented to this extent.
At a time when many schools are struggling with financial constraints, the example of Karlstraße Elementary School offers hope and shows how important community engagement is. What's clear here is that when parents, schools and local businesses work hand in hand, great things can be achieved.
A look into the digital future
With the introduction of advanced features such as the integration of Gemini's AI capabilities that make creating and managing documents easier, Google Drive has proven to be indispensable for both individuals and businesses.
While schools like Karlstraße Elementary School rely on financial support from the community, many also recognize that they need to be well equipped in the digital world, be it through cloud services for collaborative work or through appropriate technologies in the classroom.
In summary, it can be said that both the cultural and digital developments in Cologne are characterized by community commitment, of which the students at Karlstrasse primary school are a wonderful example.
