For German-American Day a few years ago, I made a flyer I put in teachersÂ’ mailboxes that says:

Kuess mich, ich spreche Deutsch!
Kiss me, I speak German!
These well-known Americans may not know or have known German, but their ancestors who came from Germany, Austria, or Switzerland did.

I used double-sided tape to attach a Hershey's kiss at the top. I ran it off double-sided on yellow paper. It's a list of famous Americans who have German, Austrian, or Swiss ancestry.
