On Sunday evening (4-11-10), a group of fifteen German students and their accompanying teacher arrived in Nashville after a week in New York. On exchange, the students are staying with host families/students associated with MBA, Harpeth Hall, Brentwood High, and Centennial High. Now in its fifth year at MBA, the GAPP (German American Partnership Program) exchange brings students from Wiesbaden, Germany to Nashville each spring. 
Three MBA students are hosting this year. Freshman Chris Habermann is hosting Dustin Walpert, sophomore Jake McDonald is hosting Niels Jungjohann, and junior Collin Brannon is hosting Marco Goebert.
During their two-week stay in Nashville, the Germans will attend school, visit downtown Nashville and experience the Wildhorse Saloon, canoe on the Harpeth River, travel to Lynchburg's Jack Daniel's Distillery, and visit Sewanee. MBA's German Program and Herr Sawyer are excited to welcome these students to Nashville and to have them become a part of the MBA community.
Special thanks to all host families, teachers of the exchange students, and the MBA administration for their support of the German exchange program.
Herzlich Willkommen in Nashville, Jungs!
