We make MORE out of our school!

Congratulations to students Fehmi Simsek, Luciana Schneider, and Ella Zimmerer, whose team “Breaking Limits” achieved 5th place among the German junior teams at the STEM Racing German Championships!

The goal of the STEM Racing project is the development of a high-performance racing vehicle, combined with entrepreneurial thinking, strategic implementation, and genuine teamwork. It’s not just about speed on the racetrack, but about fostering skills in technology, business, and innovation.

At ESRM, the project is supervised by Luis Botella, who advises the students on technical questions and marketing activities. The Friends’ Association, together with other corporate sponsors, financially supports the “Breaking Limits” team, enabling their participation in the competitions.

The general meeting was held online on November 13, 2025.

The official invitation, including the agenda, can be found here. The minutes are currently being prepared.

At the summer festival, the choir parents expressed their sincere thanks to the choir directors for their dedicated commitment over the past school year.
With vouchers and flowers – financed from donations from the parents – they acknowledged the enthusiasm, patience, and joy with which they led the choirs.
This special type of leadership means a great deal to the children – and also to the parents.
Ashley and Nancy help the children find their voice, gain confidence, and experience the magic of making music together.

Starting next school year, books funded by the free textbook scheme will also be made available in the secondary school. In recent weeks, approximately 1,600 books have already been labeled and covered by diligent helpers. More will follow during the holidays. This means nothing stands in the way of lending them to students next school year. A huge thank you to all the helpers!

ESRM Friends support the Duke of Edinburgh Award with high-quality backpacks
Another concrete funding project by ESRM Friends shows how we can jointly make MORE out of our school: For this year’s Duke of Edinburgh Award, we have purchased high-quality trekking backpacks, which are now available to participants for their expeditions and outdoor activities.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is an international youth program that strengthens young people in their personal development and encourages them to face new challenges – whether it’s hiking, volunteering, or learning new skills. The expeditions are a central part of the program – and that’s exactly what the backpacks are for.

We are very pleased that we were able to support this great project at our school – and wish all participants unforgettable experiences, team spirit and lots of fun!
