And that's a wrap on the 2025/2026 Samstagsschule academic year! We thanked our amazing teachers, board members and parent volunteers! The kids received a fun send-off to keep up their German skills. Stay tuned for Fall registration information!

Have a great summer!

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is already the last day of German school for the 2025/2026 School Year!! Of course, that calls for a celebration with Spaghettieis with our families and teachers! 🇩🇪🍝

Central Indiana German Organization Highlight:

The German American Klub of Indianapolis (GAK) is the city’s primary hub for preserving and celebrating German heritage through community, culture, and (of course) great food and drink. Based on the Southside at German Park, which is also home to the Edelweiss Restaurant, the GAK hosts a year-round calendar of events - ranging from traditional singing and language programs to massive heritage festivals - all aimed at keeping German-American traditions alive in Indiana.

Celebrate the Southside this Saturday, May 16 from 4-9 pm with Südzfest 2026!
