Civic Responsibility

The school building leaders are passionately dedicated to developing practices that will improve the lives of those in need. Our student body embraces this mission and tackles projects that aim to alleviate social injustice and/or raise environmental awareness. We are pleased to share with you the projects that are taking place this school year.

Projects:

Ongoing: Karellio Alzheimer’s Center, Elderly Visits - Middle School

School year 2018-19 has marked the Middle School’s second straight year in visiting the Karellio Alzheimer’s Center, where students from all 3 grades spend 3 hours a day, once per week, visiting the Elderly there. Students have called this a remarkable experience, as their sense of compassion has not only increased, but has helped in fostering a sense of responsibility and commitment to the larger community.

We care, therefore we share! - Elementary School Student Council

The Elementary Student Council, which has representatives from 3rd, 4th and 5th grades, started the year with community service by collaborating with the Halandri Municipality Food Bank. Approximately 100 bottles of olive oil were collected and delivered to the food bank. Student Council members had the opportunity to visit and talk with volunteers and observe what a food bank is, how it is run, and why it is needed. They also made cards expressing their wishes for the holidays to the citizens of Halandri. The Student Council members were excited to be part of this initiative, and very proud that they were able to spread awareness to help those in need.

Student-led "Save the Wave" Club have done 4 fundraisers this year so far and raised over 200 Euros for Archelon Sea Turtle Foundation (all bake sales have been plastic-free). As the weather gets warmer, the club will be doing beach clean-ups.
