Once again this year, Ms. Heilen and Ms. Lalana organized the English competition “The Big Challenge” at Werner-von-Siemens Gymnasium with great success. In early June, the 53 participants were presented with prizes and certificates. The 8th-grade students were particularly successful this school year, with four of them making it into the top 500 in all of Germany—led by Emely Stresewski, who achieved an outstanding 14th place in North Rhine-Westphalia and 50th place nationwide. The English department congratulates all winners on their outstanding achievements. (Hei)
