H.I.S. staff members joined forces today to raise a new H.I.S. flag for the School Year 2021-22.

Preparations for the School Year 2021-22 are well under way in the school building. In the meantime flowers, pumkins, corn and herbs have transformed the school yard into a beautiful summer jungle.

For the second year in succession, the annual TV Edingen Summer Run cannot take place in its usual form, however, rather than cancel it completely there will again be a ‘Virtual Race’ between the 2^nd and the 4^th of July.

Distances of 1,5km for children and 3,6km and 10km for older students and adults are available.

The route that you run is completely up to you so you can decide to run anywhere in the world that you like. The only requirement is that you need to be sure of your route distance and the time taken to cover it. For those of you who run with a phone, GPS watch or similar this will be easy enough.

However, if you do not have any of these then you can plan a route on Google Maps, Komoot or any other mapping App and simply time yourself. You just need to enter your time with the personal link you will receive on registration. If you would prefer to walk, there is a 7,5km walking distance and of course all distances allow walking.

All funds raised will be split between social development funds in Edingen-Neckarhausen and the Deutsche Knochenmarkspenderdatei

(DKMS) supporting those affected by leukemia.

I would love to hear of the Edingen Sommerlauf been held in far flung parts of the world or even just in the local area. Last year we had runners in New Zealand, Scotland, Australia, the Netherlands and the USA.

Please forward this information to anyone else who may be interested. So make it a family event and start planning your route. Be ready to run between 00:00 on the 2^nd July and 23:59 on the 4^th.

The city of Heidelberg has invited schools to share and display the “Zeig’s uns!” posters, which remind us of the AHA (Abstand, Hygiene, Alltagsmaske) formula.

Students, staff and parents have been doing a great job of wearing masks, washing hands and airing rooms at H.I.S. – let’s keep it up!

The merchandise order form will be uploaded to the login section of the H.I.S. Website (newsletter attachments).
