Martis Bracelet Sale

All bracelets are handmade by ACS Athens PTO members. The “Martis bracelet” is an ancient custom for the beginning of Spring. The name is derived from the Greek word for the month of March, “Martios”! From March 1st, it is a tradition, especially for children, to wear a bracelet made of twisted white and red thread. The white symbolizes purity, and the red color stands for life and passion. Wearing the Martis bracelet also means you are protected from the burning sun.

At Iliana Creative Ground participants learned about the ancient art of pottery making. They had an opportunity to paint two pre-made cups. Afterwards, everyone was able to make their very own creations out of clay - bowls, cups, ashtrays and other items, under the expert guidance of the wonderful teacher Iliana. It was a great opportunity to get creative while also enjoying the company of other ACS Athens parents. The PTO will organize a second pottery workshop in the coming month - stay tuned for more info.
