15 Minnesota High Schools Attend Minnesota DeutschFest at CSB/SJU

On May 14th three hundred Minnesota high school students arrived at Saint John's for a morning of upbeat competitions and an early afternoon awards ceremony in the abbey church to honor Minnesota high school teachers and students. It was an amazing joint venture between CSB/SJU and Minnesota high schools.  THANK YOU to everyone who attended and worked so hard for this year's event.  We have set a goal to double the attendance next year!
