MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF 2021 - 2022
Dear ES American School Community Members,My name is Andreas and my journey in this school started 4 years ago. I came here in 9th grade, which for me was a big challenge because I decided to come to a school where I didn’t know anyone and where I couldn’t speak my mother language. After 4 years, I can say that the decision that I made to come to this school is one of the best that I have made so far in my life.
This year I’ve been elected as the new president of the Student Council. For me, it is a great honor to be part of this school, and I will try my best to successfully complete this year as your president. I plan to do whatever it takes to help care for all the students and important school issues.
I wanted to be this year’s Student Council president because I think that during these hard moments of living in a pandemic, there has to be a person who is going to manage these difficult situations. With the help of all the students and teachers in the school, this year we have to be more united than ever and think as one. I will show consistently that I’m prepared to take on this challenge and prove that I can be a great role model. I want to help others see that in this school we are more than a group of students; we are a family. We will all succeed and achieve our goals together.
See you soon,
Andreas Chapides
STUDENT COUNCIL ACTIVITIES
The Student Council members and advisors are some of the most active members in our community. They work diligently throughout the year to provide our students with fun and exciting opportunities to socialize, experience new cultures, and help people in need. They help create new traditions in our school that help define who we are, and raise money for charities that help local children.Panellet Bake Sale
