Mrs. Schorn-Hoffert has a friend, Ms. Weispfenning, who used to teach a German class. She now works at the MMAM so she gave Mrs. Schorn-Hoffert’s class a tour in German.
“The goal of the trip was to see the German artists artwork that is displayed in the art museum. Also to have a conversation with Ms. Wespfenning,” Schorn-Hoffert said.
