Pat,

Your post breaks my heart. I will spare you my unhelpful
opinions about your school district and simply say that I
hope you save your German program.

Here's a link to our web site and why we think students
should take German. --

Maybe there is some little thing in there that will be of use
to you.

Good luck!
