Today is Give to the Max Day!
Just about anyone living in MN knows that today is Give to the Max Day! We are all being showered with emails and phone calls from the multitude of non-profit organizations in MN asking us to donate. Through this flurry of Give to the Max communication, please take a final moment to reflect on why you should donate to TCGIS and why your financial contribution to TCGIS is so critical to your child's education!
You can easily donate via Square (
https://squareup.com/store/tcgis
) on our website or by bringing a check to our office. The latter is the fee-free way to donate and lets every dollar of your donation land at the school.

Exploration of New TCGIS High School Pathway in Western Metro
We are excited to announce that we are exploring another high school pathway for TCGIS grads (in addition to St Paul Central) to serve families in the western metro. We're working on an agreement with St Louis Park High School that would be similar to what is currently offered by St Paul Central - a program exclusively for TCGIS grads tailored to their advanced level of German. Our goal would be to have this option available for the 2019/2020 academic year. If you live or work in the western metro this may be an attractive option for you!
We need your input! To make this a viable option for St Louis Park HS, we need to provide them with data on number of students who would take advantage of this option. If you are at all interested in this option please take this survey by December 1.
For more information on St Louis Park HS and their excellent German program please click here. For more information on this option contact Dianne Bell at 612-554-1332 or dbell@tcgis.org. |

Buy a Beautiful MN Scarf from Frau Carroll and Support TCGIS
Are you a fan of the north shore? Frau Carroll's scarf design was inspired by the endless beauty one encounters when you head "up north." The pullover unisex scarf has a two layers of fleece and blocks the wind quite well when you are out in the elements. By german standards, it fulfills all the criteria to be a good product: functions well, made well and out of quality material.
We are selling 50 scarves total @ $25.00 per scarf.
$5 of every scarf sale goes to support international programs at TCGIS. You can pick up a scarf at the Front Office or during St. Martin's celebration.
