Paralympics winner Franziska Liebhardt gives a breathtaking talk about her sporting success, her handicap and her personal motivation to be successful in achieving anything.
Sports halls and stadiums: these are places where Franziska was often to be found. After her sporting successes, Franziska Liebhardt, who won the gold medal in the shot put at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio and took silver in the long jump with her handicap, can be found at the European School Frankfurt in the European Hours, among other places, where she shares her impressive story. You might be wondering now how it all came about? Carina Neupert, who is a three-time world champion in Ju-Jutsu, is a physical education teacher at ESF and teaches on the topic of "Paralympics- "Yes you Can" as part of the European Hours.
No one could be more supportive than Franzi, a multiple organ transplant who suffered a stroke as a result of her multiple transplants, which made her eligible to participate in Para-sports. She fought her way through with an iron will and achieved the unbelievable: Gold in Rio in the shot put.
This story is simply too fabulous not to share: In lessons that build on each other several times, the children learn more about people with disabilities in everyday life and what makes Paralympic sport so fascinating.

Weihnachtspäckchen für Kinder in Not
Every year our school participates in the “Christmas in a Shoebox" charitable event (Weihnachtspäckchen für Kinder in Not). The goal of this campaign is to collect Christmas gifts for children in need who otherwise wouldn’t get any presents at all. The organization Kinderzukunft collects the parcels to be distributed to the beneficiaries.
Last year we collected almost 800 gifts. Thank you for all of you.
Kinderzukunft is an established organization in Germany and it supports around 70,000 children in need in countries such as Romania, Bosnia Herzegovina, and the Ukraine. The packages are distributed to orphanages, hospitals, schools, and poor areas. For some of these children, this present will be the only one they receive for Christmas.
You can watch the photos of the distribution of our presents from 2021 here and here.
We will start collecting the presents this year on Monday, 28 November.
As soon as the Christmas trees are put up in the school, your children can place their presents under them. Because of the pandemic situation, parents are not allowed to enter the school.
The presents will be picked up from the school on Monday, 12 December.

Dear Parents,
The PA is working to get the most benefits for the students of the European School. Also, for this school year we have put together an updated internal database of ESF students willing to provide babysitting services for their younger schoolmates and tutoring services for older students.
These services are available exclusively for Parents Association members.
Members can access the database once logged in by clicking on the link on the left.
Through this link, Parents association members can access contact details from parents in the community whose children are providing babysitting or tutoring services.
We have students from all parts of Frankfurt and its surroundings offered their services, so do please do not hesitate to contact their parents to arrange these services. The fees will be negotiated with the students and the parents' association is not involved in this.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time at european.babysitters@esfparents.org
With our best regards,
Your Parents' Association
EuroKids - Door to Door Minibus Services

Dear Parents,
Based on parent feedback, we are pleased to announce we will be launching EuroKids Minibus services which will be operating door to door from 9th January 2023, dependent on parent interest.
Potential lines have been created for Riedberg, Offenbach and Oberursel, based on parent demand. We are aware that many parents living in areas which are outside of these places may be interested in these services and we have created an application to address this. Parents can communicate a non-binding ‘expression of interest’ through our Minibus application.
The more parents use the minibus services, the more cost effective these services will be and the more parents we will be able to serve. In case of questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Wishing you and your families all the best,
Your EuroKids Team
