The events are accompanied by a small aperitif or snack. And attractive prizes await you in our environmental puzzle.

The way to school experience

The way to school experience

On the way to school, your child learns to act independently, make decisions and take responsibility. They can explore their environment, make friends and cultivate friendships. During the environmental weeks, the children decorate their favorite path with self-painted wooden snails.

Let your child enjoy the experience of going to school. Dear parents: how about accompanying him on his “snail’s way” a few times?

Week without parental cab

Week without parental cab

This week we ask you to leave your car at home: Instead, give your child the chance to actively walk or cycle to school. Because they learn safe behavior on the road through their own experience. Give your child the experience of going to school and let them enjoy a few minutes of independence every day.

As well as making a small contribution to the environment, you are also making a big contribution to the safety and development of your child.

Neophyte exhibition

Neophyte exhibition

For two weeks, we will be presenting various neophytes with corresponding information in front of the town hall. (Neophytes are plants that are not native to our country; invasive neophytes are also spreading rapidly and displacing native species).

On Wednesday, May 22, employees of the maintenance depot and the municipality’s neophyte officer will be available for consultations. On this day, additional plants in various stages of development can be seen.

On this day, the Neuenhof Nature and Bird Protection Association will also show you which plants you can use as a good alternative.
