Northport World Language Student Awarded Trip to Germany

The World Language Department announced that sophomore Michael Kavanaugh has recently been awarded an all-expenses-paid summer study trip to the Federal Republic of Germany.

Michael was one of approximately 23,000 students of German who competed for the study trip by participating in a nationwide German testing program administered by the American Association of Teachers of German.

Founded in 1926, the AATG is the only national organization representing German teachers at all levels of instruction. The AATG is dedicated to the advancement and improvement of the teaching of language, literature and culture of the German-speaking countries.

The study trip awards have been made possible annually for over 50 years by a grant from the Federal Republic of Germany through its Embassy in Washington, D.C.

Michael will travel to Germany this summer to participate in the study trip, including excursions of cultural and historic interest. Michael is currently enrolled in German 3R with Danielle Bense.
