On Saturday, the Sprachfest Team at LASA competed against over 700 students from 39 high schools across more than 90 different events at the Texas State German Contest. Some highlights included 1st place in doll costume design, a freshman team placing 1st place in the German Language Scavenger Hunt, a 2nd place Classical Ensemble, and all of LASA'S dramatic entries earning trophies. There were dozens of other podium winners in oral tests, written tests, art, trivia, poetry, prose, and an exciting 1st place win and prize money for Senior Carter Brooks’ Research Paper selected by the Texas German Heritage Society. Nearly 60 LASA German students competed to win the 2nd Place Team Points Award at State following their sweep at Sprachfest earlier this month.
