The Max-Mannheimer-Gymnasium Grafing has had the title “School without racism, school with courage” since 2002. This goes hand in hand with the fact that a school with this rating will organize as many different activities as possible in a school year. For example, since 2009 there has been an annual collection for the benefit of the Grafinger Tafel, organized and hosted by the working group “Schools without Racism”, AK SOR. It currently consists of 14 students of all ages as well as teachers, Vanessa Schlotmann from Q 12 is currently in charge of the students, and Theresa Hogrefe is responsible for the teaching staff. The collection is an opportunity to help people in need in the region, the school family shows great social commitment and is ready to support the AK SOR campaign every year. It’s not just about putting something in the basket, the AK visits the younger classes and explains why social engagement is important and that everyone can help here. This year AK SOR can do this with a donation. The Lions Club would also like to support the students and will hand over a check for 500 euros for the Grafinger Tafel when handing over the donations in kind.
Donations were now also to be distributed in Zorneding: Almost 70 beautifully wrapped gifts were given to the town hall as part of this year’s wishing tree campaign. Most of them were handed over by First Mayor Piet Mayr and Second Mayor Bianka Poschenrieder to Elisabeth Nuspl, who distributed them to the participating institutions. The City Hall would like to say a huge thank you to all wish-fulfillers for their support and all helpers of the participating institutions, kindergartens, after-school care centers and children’s homes, as well as the Zornedinger Tafel, who helped to give the wish cards and distribute the gifts. For next year the wish tree campaign is again firmly reserved at the beginning of the Advent season. Thanks also go to everyone else involved – to the elementary school children and their teachers for the handcrafted stars and to the children from the Catholic children’s home Naturkinder Sankt Georg in Pöring and their teachers for the tree decorations.

“Experiencing politics up close shows me how important the work of our politicians is,” says 16-year-old Michael Kaefer from Grafing. Since this year he has been attending the 11th grade of the technical college of the Dietrich-Bonnhoefer-Bildungscampus in Bad Aibling and doing a nine-week internship in the office of the Ebersberg constituency member Thomas Huber (CSU) as part of the practical training. “I applied for this internship because I was always very interested in politics and wanted to get a deeper insight into the work of a member of the state parliament,” says the college student. In addition to witnessing the work of the MPs, the intern was also able to gain a deeper insight into the work of a research assistant. “I am impressed by the amount of work that goes on in the background and the variety of issues a member of parliament and his staff have to deal with,” said the 16-year-old. Michael Käfer was also able to convince himself of the quick wittedness of the politicians during various visits to plenary debates. “I can definitely imagine directing my further vocational training in a political direction after graduating from high school,” concludes Michael, who was happy about the souvenir photo taken with Thomas Huber in front of the plenary hall.
