On Saturday, February 11th, a Diplomatic Training / Political Science simulation A100 took place. The training course imitates the official course that all new American diplomats must take at the US Foreign Service Institute. This event took place at the Bissell Library at the American College of Thessaloniki. Two groups of students from Anatolia and Pinewood participated in the training.

On Wednesday, our annual NHS Induction Ceremony took place. Among the many guests was Mrs. Joann Ryding-Beltes, Vice President of the American Farm School, who delivered the keynote speech to the new inductees. We thank Mrs. Ryding-Beltes for her wonderful message about character and its importance in life.

During the week of February 20^th, we will be celebrating literature, reading and all things books! With the generous time and organization of the English Department and the Librarians, we have put together several very special events for our students, all with the goal of instilling joy into the hearts of our students.

This past Monday, the Pinewood kindergarten class celebrated 100 days of school!

We made hats and flags for our little parade. We counted 100 cheerios by tens, and later ate them with milk for snack time.

We also counted 100 M&M's to decorate our cake (yum!)
