New sports achievements!

New sports achievements!

This beginning of the year we have been very busy training and participating in a wide variety of sports. Our school has been well represented in all the sports where our athletes have competed, with some of the sport-specific achievements from previous years continuing on as successes again this year. This year Futuro Verde had two students qualify on to nationals in cross country. In swimming, we are also having a lot of success with 14 athletes qualifying for nationals. In these two sports, we have maintained our competitive level and have demonstrated that, despite the many challenges, with work and discipline, important things can be achieved. However, these have not been all our achievements so far. For the first time in the history of Futuro Verde, and thanks to the help of Professor Oscar Leal Méndez, we have formed a chess team that has proudly and prominently represented our institution in regional and interregional events. Also, new this year, we have formed three basketball teams which are still in the training stage and will soon be ready to compete.

But we’re only halfway through the year. In the coming months we will be organizing different sports events that will offer a number of opportunities for recreation and physical activity. These include a community chess tournament, a cross-country field race and different clubs to be offered after school. Stay tuned and informed and do not miss any of these amazing opportunities.

The Students Global Awareness Committee  (S.G.A.C)  is a non-profit small committee striving to make a change. We are five girls, Maya Reolon, Soleil Michaud, Emma Rupert, Ariadna Lopez, and Georgia Udall, who are well aware that one person can make a change. Our goal is to raise money for global, national and local crisis. This month’s focus is on the crisis happening in Syria that has been going on everyday for 6 years now. Each month we will focus on a different objective, with the exception that we don’t raise enough money at the end of the month, our main focus will be to reach the amount necessary. To reach this, we will not be sitting on our bums doing nothing expecting the money to show up, we will work our way up until we have what we need to fulfill our month’s purpose. For those who want to help a cause of their choice will find the boxes at the front office as they enter the school. Always remember, a dollar can change a life.

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”-George Bernard Shaw.

El Comité de Conciencia Global de Estudiantes (C.C.G.E) es una organización pequeña sin fines de lucro que solo quiere lograr un cambio. Nosotras cinco: Emma Rupert, Soleil Michaud, Ariadna Lopez, Georgia Udall y Maya Reolon, sabemos que una persona puede hacer la diferencia. Nuestro objetivo es recaudar fondos para crisis locales, nacionales y globales. El enfoque de este mes es Siria, que ha estado en guerra por los últimos 6 años. Cada mes tendremos otro enfoque, pero si no llegamos al presupuesto que necesitamos, trabajaremos extra fuerte hasta cumplir nuestra meta. Para los que desean ayudarnos tenemos cajas en la oficina principal. Recuerde siempre que un dólar puede cambiar una vida.
