Strong Start to the School Year

The school year has started off strong. We are implementing a number of new committees, meetings, and school-wide objectives so we have been very busy. We’ve been busy as well with our extra-curricular activities. We have taken the boy’s football team to Sofia for the CEESA Southern tournament at the Anglo American School. It went well, with the boys placing third. A number of our boys unfortunately had to pull out of the trip at the last moment and it looked like we might not have enough players to travel. Thanks to our friend Murray at AAS for accommodating us, making the trip happen. He was nice enough to set us up with some additional players from the American College in Sofia to complete our roster (and they were really solid players to boot!). I for one was very impressed with the AAS campus and faculty. They run a tight ship. Former ASF, Mexico City Director, Jim Leahy is currently in charge.

Rocio has had a great response to her Art History Club. Every Tuesday she has fifteen plus students discuss periods and pieces. Last week they went downtown to study the various architecture. It looks like their culminating trip to Spain will be a success.

Last week we returned from our trip to Berlin for the annual BerMUN at the JFK school. It was our first time participating in BerMUN and both directors and delegates were very pleased with the conference as a whole. Our students gained some valuable experience and were able to the capital of Germany at a very historic moment.
