In a caring and academically challenging environment, Chapel provides an American-style education to an international student body. Through Christian values, students learn to make informed decisions, to own responsibility for personal actions and community needs, and to respect life and cultural diversity.
Chapel School will be recognized as an inclusive educational community of diverse individuals from different cultural, ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds who learn and grow harmoniously in mutual respect. Students will be engaged intellectually, and an emphasis on Christian values will contribute to the formation of well-rounded citizens who will be successful, conscientious leaders.

Mãe: não sei como descrever toda gratidão q sinto por vc q sempre procurou me ajudar em todos os aspectos da minha vida.

The fact that you always encourage me and teach that the most important thing is amor no coração shaped my life. I’m proud to be your son. Matheus: cara poder ter um irmão como vc é muito gratificante. Eu lembro q quando a gente era pequeno sempre brigávamos por coisas estúpidas, ainda bem q isso mudou bastante, hj a briga é por coisas do tipo quem joga melhor fifa.

Lucas: com vc eu sempre estou comentando algo e as nossas conversas são sempre muito engraçadas, vc é o tipo de pessoa em quem dá pra confiar em qualquer situação. Alvaro: being in physics class or pretty much any place u always shave something to talk, you are the kind of person that I can never get bored. Jay: quando te conheci logo veio a ideia de que vc era mto gente boa, e essa primeira impressão não mudou desde então. : u are the kind of person who is always there to help no matter what the circumstance might be.

Allemann: since the first day u have helped me with all the question I had, you are the type of person that is willing to help no matter what. Che: your comments are very funny and the faces you make when u expres yourself makes me laugh. Niko: nos primeiros dias quando eu sentei perto de vc na aula de português logo vi q além de ser um cara mto engraçado vc é tb mto gente boa. Matheus: sem palavras pra descrever como vc é gente boa vc faz qualquer um rir mesmo aquele q não sabe quem é vc. Hikari: vc está sempre alegre sua risada é a coisa mais engraçada, ter algumas aulas com vc deixa o dia de qualquer um mais divertido. Carol: classes with you are just more fun because of your positive attitudes. Jessica, Sofia: you are always helping me with any problems I have, I will miss having classes with you because I can count on you. Girls: it’s been great to have known all of you.

To my parents: Grazie per tutto il supporto e le opportunità che mi avete dato in tutti questi anni di scuola superiore. Tutte le esperienze che ho avuto l’occasione di avere sono la base della persona che sono e sono state di fondamentale importanza nella formazione del mio carattere e della mia persona. Grazie per l’infinita fiducia che mi avete sempre dimostrato con grande affetto.
To all my friends in the world:They say that the people around you are those who build your character and your personality. I believe that is true but there is much more. The people around you help you to go beyond your limits, to find the courage to start something new, that support you when you need it, that help you when you are losing hope, that talk to you when you need an inspiration and much more. From all my friends all over the world I have always had all of this. Clearly there are no words nor place that could express the gratitude I have towards all of you. However, I would like, as much as possible, to thank all of you for who I am now.
To my teachers: Since I was in primary school, I always had this dream of founding my own school where I could put the best and most inspiring teachers I met throughout my academic career. Well, I believe many of them would be from Chapel. Thanks for everything and for having inspired me in building my future!
To my friends from Chapel: Living in a new country is always a difficult experience, especially when it is so far from home. In moments like these there is nothing more valuable than the support of the new community of which you became a new member. For this reason I would like to thank all my friends in Chapel school for the warm and happy way in which they welcomed me both in the school and in Brazil.
To all my friends from Brazil: I have few doubts on the fact that this year has been the most important of my life and definitely the one in which I learned most. I met some very special people in this country and even if this is not the right place to express it, my gratitude is hardly imaginable! Thank you for everything!
To Paco: From the first day I came to school I have learned a lot from you about Brazil, about Latin America and about much more. Thank you for everything bolo, see you soon in Europe!
personality,
To Alvaro: From Rick Perry to Sergio Leone, your personality, joyfulness and energy have inspired me throughout this year. Thank you and good luck in pursuing your dreams!
To Michael: Maybe is because Europeans have a natural connection, but I feel we have a lot in common other than the continent we are from. Thank you for the contribution you made to my perspective, on Brazil and on the world, see you very soon in London!
To Luciano: Planning future businesses and discussing about the most random things are just few ways in which we had a shared opinion. Thank you for everything and all the help and suggestions you gave me when I needed!
To Jy: I have always admired my Korean friend for their values, and maybe that is why you too have been a great example for me of intelligence, strength and behavior. Thanks for all the support, and the laughs, one day soon we will go together to South Korea!
To my Junior friends: I met some of you last year in Europe, and from the first moment I knew I would have had a lot to share with you. When I came to Brazil, I haven’t been disappointed. Thanks for all the support and friendship!
To Nicolas: Probably this page is not the right place to thank you, since we share something too big and too special to say, but I had to mention you in this final message to Chapel and Brazil. Thank you my friend.
Mom & Dad: I have so much to thank you guys for always being by my side, guiding me and helping me in difficult situations. I am so grateful and am very proud to be your son. I know that you guys worked so hard to give me the opportunity to study at Chapel. I have only become the person who I am today because of you guys! I love you guys so much! Pammy + Jackie + Mel: I couldn’t have asked for better sisters! Even though you girls always annoy me and irritate me because I am the caçula of the family, I would like to say that I love you all very much! Thank you for helping me when I was in need and please stop calling me “gordinho” hahaha. Lucas: Ah, my eternal rival… We have been great friends for several years and even though I like you very much, I would like to say one thing: nossas competições não acabaram! Vejo você na Poli! Eu ainda tenho que provar que a minha cabeça é mais dura que a sua! Btw, eu não chorei aquele dia... Toby: throughout the years, you have become one of the best friends I have ever had. There are so many good memories! Eu já sou praticamente parte da sua família né? HAHAHA. Todo fim de semana indo na sua casa, atacando sua geladeira, me sentindo em casa... Even though you are going to study in the US, let us not lose contact! Eu e o Lucas vamos sentir muito sua falta! Btw, um dia te ensino a jogar ta? Caio: I will never forget the good moments we have lived together! Apesar de eu ter levado muito tapão e beliscão, vou sentir muito sua falta! Our friendship is unique and I am sure we will still see each other in the future! Dani: Hammedd! Since 7th grade we have been great friends! Even though school is ending, tenho certeza de que vou ver você na Poli também né? Lá vou estar com meu stock de balas renovado! Hahahaha. Che: Even though we only became great friends at 11th grade, we had so many good memories! Lembra, the answer for everything is TANGENT! HAHAHA. Martin: Since kinder we have been great friends! It is amazing how fast time passes by. A gente tem tantas memórias boas que eu nunca vou esquecer! Esse último ano foi incrível, principalmente durante as nossas aulas de physics! Kevin: It seems like it were yesterday that I was the green power ranger and you were the red power ranger! Desde pequenos somos grandes amigos! Vou sentir muito sua falta! Visitarei você na INSPER/GV sem falta! Jay: Hei Se!! Você ainda não me convidou pra ir a uma aula de mandarim com você hein! Vou sentir muito sua falta! Você é sem dúvida um dos caras mais engraçados que eu conheço! Good luck studying in the US! Mickey: Since the day we first talked I knew you were an amazing person! Lembra que em junho we have to meet to watch the Anderson Silva fight! Hahaha. Luis: Nuii!! Nunca me esquecerei das nossas conversas na sala de Bio! Tenho certeza de que também vou te ver na Poli junto com os outros! Lalá: Você é demais sabia? Thank you for helping me in difficult times! Vou sentir tanto sua falta!! Não vamos perder contato ok? Yormin: Você é uma das pessoas mais várzeas que eu conheço! Hahahaha. Since 8th grade we have been great friends! I will miss you very much =( We have to skype frequently ok? Please come visit!! Karina: I will never forget nossas noites panicking com homework! Hahaha. We have so many memories together! Vou sentir tanto a sua falta =( A gente ainda tem que ir no açaí power qualquer dia! Sofia: Não dá pra acreditar que estamos graduating e que a gente actually sobreviveu à aula de chemistry! Hope we meet again soon! Finha: What can I say? Você é simplesmente incrível! Durante esses últimos dois anos nos tornamos amigos inseparáveis! Nunca esquecerei dos bons momentos que passamos juntos e com certeza nunca esquecerei você! Let’s keep in touch! Te adoro =) Class of 2012: I can’t believe we are graduating!! I will miss every single one of you so much. I hope that someday we can all see each other again =]. You guys have become the most important people in my life. These years have been epic.
actually engraçados Hahaha.

Graças a vocês dois eu tenho meus melhores amigos de hoje and lived unforgettable moments tanto na escola quanto fora dela. Obrigada por tudo mesmo, eu amo MUITO vocês!! Kevin: você é a criatura mais fofa e linda do mundo!

in se clichê,
minha
Mãe, who would I be without you? Thank you for teaching me lifetime lessons and the value of everything I have. I owe each and every thing to you, mom. It hurts to think of the fact I will grow up and move out of home. But I hope you know I will always be here for you as you have been there for me every time I needed somebody. Ever since Pedro and Dad left home you have been my father, my brother and more importantly my friend. I love you with all my heart. We might fight a lot, but you know that I need you and I know you need me. I am glad to have the greatest mother in the world. I love you. Pedro, you are a role model not only for me, but for everyone. I could not ask for a better brother than the one I have. Even though you live so far away, you are always there for me when I need you. When times are tough I know who to look for. Thank you for all the valuable lessons and talks we have had. I admire you with all my heart. I love and miss you. Che, Lucão, Ma, Tomás. Sei que vocês já eram muito amigos desde a infância, mas eu queria dizer que quando estou com vocês, me sinto como se tivesse crescido com vocês. Ma, a gente não era tão próximo no começo, mas você me ajudou a crescer demais como pessoa. Virou um irmão. Che, você pode ser o cara mais racional e cabeça dura que eu conheço, mas são incontáveis as vezes que você estava lá quando eu precisava. Lucão, coisas acontecem nas nossas vidas e você é uma das pessoas que eu agradeço todos os dias por fazer parte da minha vida, cara. Pode parecer clichê, mas é a mais pura verdade. Tomás, mesmo você estando longe, você sabe que parece que você está com a gente todos os dias. Eu te admiro muito pelo seu caráter e sua compreensão. Desculpa por qualquer coisa que eu tenha errado com vocês, mas saibam que amigos como vocês são poucos e eu sou muito grato por ter vocês ao meu lado. Eu te amo, irmãos. Memories of the good times we had together will be kept in my mind throughout my life. I just hope they don’t end now; we still have a lot to live together. Filipe, you know you are my brother. Most certainly a person that I count on all the time and I know will always be there for me. Thanks for everything. Martin, we might lose contact when you go to study abroad. However, thank you for all the good memories and you will be one of the people I will miss the most. Good luck with everything! Kevin, good thing you are staying in Brazil to study. I hope that we can continue to go to Palmeiras games. Esse time ainda vai dar alegria. Thank you for everything. Ogrário, great memories are what will remain of our friendship and barbecues. Good thing you are staying as well. Nico, the fact that we always got our way into games amazes me. All we had to do was stand up. Hope we don’t lose contact. Good luck! Chancho, los enchufes is probably the best band ever to be formed. I miss those days. Wish we could go back to them. Thank you for everything.Dani, the most “solto” guy I know. Alvaro, how could anyone possibly forget our times at hooters? Those are lifetime memories. Thank you for everything. Keep in touch. Toby and Chino, will eternally be my apprentices in all online games. Jay, the incredible goals you would miss entertained not only me, but everyone on the team! Regardless, you have a brilliant future ahead of you. I wish you the best. Luis E, probably the best freshman friend a senior could have. You know you can count not only on me, but on all of us. Good luck in the future, you have a lot ahead of you. Hikari, you are the person that makes me laugh the most. Even though you hit me every day, I still love you! Boa sorte! Finha, tudo passa. Até uva passa. Thanks for the advice and I hope everything turns out the best for you. Amor, I can’t help imagining what will happen to us in the future. All I am certain of is that you are the greatest person I have ever known. Every second I spent with you was worthwhile and essential to me. You helped me grow as a person and review my values. I hope you know you are my best friend. Time will tell if we are meant to be forever. Mas se depender de mim, você será minha pra sempre. Não seria metade do que sou se não fosse por você. Eu te amo mais do que tudo! Varsity boys, honrem essa camisa. Class of 2012, I wish the best to all of you.

“The
Mom and Dad: Thank you for everything that you have done for me throughout the years. You have supported me in all that I have tried whether I have succeeded or failed. We have journeyed to Brazil together and become closer as a family because of it. I can’t thank you enough for all the hours you have spent watching and cheering for me in my different sporting events. I will miss you when I return to Michigan to go to Central Michigan. Dave: You have been a great older brother and a friend. You have showed me the way both good and bad. I look forward to joining you back in Michigan. Alli: You have been my supporter your entire life. We have had the chance to become closer since we made the move down to Brazil together. You will kick butt next year on the Chapel softball team. Good luck with your last year down here without me. Alex: You have made this year in Brazil amazing. I will always remember the times we have spent together, playing video games, getting thrown in the pool, Big 4, and boogie boarding at the beach. I can’t wait for you to visit in the States and I hope to be able to visit in Puerto Rico. Rodrigo: Thanks for being the first one who I could call a friend. The concert was a blast and we had a great time. You were a great roommate at Big 8. I hope we can keep in touch in the future. Allen: Thanks for all your help in Physics; I probably wouldn’t have passed if it weren’t for you. Good luck in your last year at Chapel. Capano: Even thou we just met this year you have been like a brother to me. Through the softball, going to McDonald’s, playing Mortal combat at your house; my year here has been more enjoyable because all the times we hung out. I hope we keep in touch in the future. Best of luck in the future, Palmeiras is way better than Corinthians. Basketball team: You guys were the first teammates I had when I came to Brazil. You understood my love of sports; I just wish we could have another year together so we could be better at Big 8. Thanks for translating for me with the coach. : Thanks for helping me learn a new sport. I had a great time playing goalie with you. Good luck next year defending the Championship at Big 4. Softball team: We had an amazing season together. Unlike futsal it was fun being able to come in to a sport where I could really help the team win the Championship. Big 4 was an amazing time. Let’s defend this Championship too! Mr. Marcello: It has been great having you as both a coach and a teacher. You welcomed me as soon as I arrived in Brazil. Mr. Forbes & Mr. Mayer: Thanks for an amazing softball season. You were great coaches and let me play my way. Big 4 was great and good luck next year defending our Championship! Senior Class: Thanks for letting me join you for a great last year. We had many fun times from Big 8 and Big 4 (Especially the boys teams dominating every Championship) and even the fashion show. Good luck to all of you in the future where ever you may be. If you ever find yourself in Michigan you will have to visit me. Thanks to the Chapel teachers for helping me finish my high school education and experience an entirely new culture.

Mãe – Não daria jamais pra transcrever em palavras o quanto te amo. Nos momentos felizes e também nos difíceis você sempre esteve ao meu lado, me apoiando e, quase sempre, fazendo com que os grandes desafios se tornassem meros e pequenos obstáculos. Meu “muito obrigado por tudo”, - até hoje, pois sei que ainda vou agradecer muito ao longo da minha vida – resume todas as palavras de alegria e felicidade que queria te dizer. Pai – não há ninguém nesse mundo que se compare ao homem que você é. Sempre apoiando a todos e proporcionando o melhor para nós, você se tornou o modelo que eu quero seguir. Muito obrigado por tudo, eu te amo. Bruno – tudo o que a gente passou junto, eu não trocaria por nada nesse mundo. Entre viagens, partidas de FIFA, dias em Itu, partidas de tênis e várias conversas, tenho em você um companheiro e amigo melhor do que eu poderia desejar. Esses últimos meses ficando tanto tempo fora de casa me fizeram perceber o quanto eu gosto de estar com você. Mari – minha irmãzinha e amiga favorita. Eu te amo demais, não esqueça nunca disso. Até quando me fala “Pipe, a mamãe ou o papai não vão gostar disso”. Continue sendo essa menina maravilhosa que você é.
Class of 2012 – We made it. Though some will go and others will stay, one thing I know for sure: I love all of you, and forever I will remember you. Foram vários anos de alegria, desafios, momentos de tensão, mas superamos todas as etapas juntos, com todos se ajudando mutuamente. Mesmo com todos os desafios que teremos nas nossas novas vidas, fora daqui, temos que preservar a amizade e companheirismo que desenvolvemos e, de tempos em tempos, nos reunirmos para dividir nossas experiências. Não posso deixar de agradecer meus amigos mais próximos Lucas - great friend and great person, Matheus, Mickey - the most annoying person i know, and yet, 1 that i will miss a lot, Martin – gigantor, 1 of the nicest guys i know, always there for his friends, Che – greatest genius ever. A great friend, Joao – the most patient guy i know. I still don’t know how u managed to have lunch every day with some pests (Mickey *cough*) annoying u. it´s a shame u r leaving to the US, Toby – noo. Even after so many discussions (where ur arguments were unfounded, tipo Messi being better than Neymar, or Lebron better than Ray Allen), I still consider u a great friend, – gigantor, um grand amigo (nooossa, aí não...), a guy who i respect and admire a lot, Chino – mala. “Ow, u studying for chem?” “I might” “lets not study” the next day, “Chino, u ready for chem test?” “yeah, I studied 4 hours” “but u said u wouldn´t study” “but I did”. Bio class certainly is the solution to the “problems”, David – bearjew. Another extremely patient guy. It was hilarious to joke w/ u, Mathias – whittie, class-clown. Thanks for the nickname, Nüí, Morcegão – got here a bit late, but was a great addition to our class. Remember, i´m always right..., Mr. Volley – still have to figure out ur secret formula for going up the stairs on Monday morning singing n dancing. Follow your dreams and i´m sure u´ll go far, Allemann – good friend. Try to de-stress sometimes (chem….), Hammed – nothing is true, everything is permitted. And you´re dead two seconds later. AC is the best. I´ll miss u, Need some – impossible to be more air-headed, laughed a lot w/ u, along w/ annoyances and discussions, Michael – ma twin, hilarious, Lala – known for very long, I´ll miss u a lot, Jéssica Vou sentir mta saudade d vc, Sofia – Esses últimos meses foram bons e ainda tm mais 6. E confia, não existe a regra do 3 pra aluno de Marina – oh, I´m sorry if I am smelling too good for your sensible nose… it was a good contrast though.

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value. Rather is one of those things that give value to survival.” ~ C.S. Lewis
Mom+Dad: I have no words to thank what you’ve done for me. You’re my strength e estar sem vocês nesses next years vai ser muito hard, mas saber que every time I come back you’ll be there makes me the happiest person. I love the two with all my heart. Luli+Bela: Big sis, I couldn’t ask for anyone better; I love knowing que despite all fights I’ll always have you – not only as a sister, but as a best friend. I don’t know where I’d be without you. Pequena, se cuida! Know no matter where I am, I’ll always be there for you no matter what, querendo ou não. I wish I could be here next year to see you grow to the beautiful young woman I know you can be. Nunca duvide de si mesma. Love you both. Martin: Exagerada, jogada aos seus pés eu sou mesmo exagerada; you’ve been the best thing that’s happened to me. You’re my best friend and my love e não sei o que I would’ve done without you. I honestly know que no matter what you’ll always be there for me, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I look back to moments with you and can’t help but smile because you’ve made me the happiest person on this planet. Queria usar meus poderes de previsionista and know what’s going to be of us – ter certeza you’ll still be just one block away – but I can’t, so the only thing I can do is say: please know that I’m yours to keep – te amo muito Skinny Love. Ca K: “I don’t shine if you don’t shine.” Quando paro e penso of what we were – how ridiculous were we? I’m so happy de te ter in my life. I’ll cherish this friendship forever. No matter where we are, you’ll always be my best friend… hipster best friend. Caio: Every memory I have of you is of smiles and laughters – nunca deixe de ser essa pessoa maravilhosa. Não acredito que não vou see you every day; não have fazendo questão de make me smile when I’m sad. I hope our friendship lasts a lifetime. Bro: You’re a person I will keep close to my heart forever. I’m in love with the story of our friendship and I can’t thank you enough por ela. É melhor o senhor não me esquecer só porque estarei longe! Hikari: Arigato sayonara (oh yeah I said it). Não sei o que serão meus dias sem você. Você é a definição de felicidade and brought that to my life. Fake daughter, I’ll always be here for you, near or far. Lil’ Peter: Você foi my best friend, my first love, and one of the first people I learned to trust. Com você I always end up laughing or smiling, and that’s your gift – brightening people’s days. I want you in my life forever! Annie: When I look back, the first thing I remember is us as Blair and Serena, and I think that’s still us – no matter what happened you’ve always been there e quero te agradecer for that. I love that all memories que tivemos foram lindas, and I hope we can still create amazing ones. Ana+Malu+Ca: Eu agradeço todo dia por ter vocês in my life! Tive momentos incríveis com vocês e sou muito happy por saber que independente de tudo you’ve been there for me. Mickey: I feel like you’re my little brother – always bugging me; surprisingly I’m going to miss it. I love our friendship and I hope it lasts, estando longe ou perto. Ma: Laughing at/with you is the highlight of our friendship. Vai ser hard não ter uma pessoa that just by a look knows what I’m thinking of. I’ll miss you! Ka: Great memories define us. Thank you so much being by my side e alegrar my days– vai fazer falta. Yo: It’s been a long journey here, but I don’t regret one bit of it. I love having you in my life! Che: Você é muito especial; someone I care for demais and look up to – não vamos nos afastar. Yoon+Dani: Que saudades que vou sentir de vocês! Obrigada por serem parte da minha vida, you’ve definitely played a part in making it better. Papi: Every day I’m happy for the times we had together but sad for the ones we missed out on. Não queria ter me afastado de você ‘cause what we had was very special. Let’s not loose it completely. So: Seu plano de vida vai dar certo and I’ll be there to see it when I get sick and pay you a visit at your office! André: Adoro ter você in my life and I hope college doesn’t change that. Alvie: I’ll miss bullying you; don’t forget me! Nüi: Sinto lhe dizer que seu perfume não me fará falta! Você é muito carinhoso e super smart – I wish you the best. Lucas: Te desejo tudo de melhor na vida, você merece. Admiro sua pessoa esforçada, carinhosa, intelligent, and above all else, brave. Don’t ever let that person go. Cheng+Rodrigo+Lalá+Matheus: Não fomos tão close mas adorei me aproximar nesses últimos meses. Finha+Gio: Regardless of everything that happened, thank you so much for the memories and the special years of friendship we had. Jessica: Thanks for the laughs. Mari+Taylor: I loved getting to know the two of you– I wish you the best! Mr. Bridges: I’m going to miss trying to understand what you’re saying – thanks for being the best history teacher! Mr. Dillon: You played a really special role in my life: you taught me to never give up. Thank you! Mr. Murphy: Thank you for caring and being one of the most insightful people I know. CLASS OF ‘12: WE DID IT!
“If I seem a little strange, that’s because I am.” ~
Mãe e pai: Galerinha, brigada por tudo. Desde pequena eu tenho crescido com pais maravilhosos, que sempre estiveram presentes quando precisei. Muska, brigada por me defender, me ajudar e me apoiar independentemente de qualquer coisa. E também brigada por me mostrar que a vida é muito maior do que os pequenos problemas do meu cotidiano. Papis: você fez muita falta nesse ano, mas não mudou nada meu amor por você. Brigada por ser quem você é, me ajudando sempre (especialmente a dirigir).eu amo e admiro muito vocês! Pipi: CARA, você sabe que às vezes eu tenho vontade de te esganar, né? Mas no fundo você é a psillinha muito radical! Mlkao, aproveita muito e good luck with everything. Qualquer coisa você pode, e deve, contar comigo! Love you! Idy: minha madrinha e irmã mais velha, você sempre foi e sempre vai ser meu espelho, meu modelo de pessoa que eu quero ser quando crescer, te amo! Vovis: vó, brigada por defender a gente sempre e por fazer a melhor comida (mexido) da vida! Te amo! Momo: Meu amor, não tenho como explicar sua importância pra mim. Ter você todos os dias é a certeza do meu carinho, apoio e amor. Muito obrigada por fazer parte da minha vida, sem você eu não teria crescido tanto. Tiro, você é uma pessoa incrível e com certeza vai longe na vida, nunca deixe que te digam o contrário. Eu te amo muuito, momozinho! Pra depois de sempre, “é você e não é mais ninguém”! Foco central: eu queria agradecer vocês por tudo! Sempre quando eu precisei, vocês estavam lá por mim. Vocês não fazem ideia do quão isso foi importante na minha vida. Por isso, eu só tenho a agradecer a ajuda, o carinho e, claro, as risadas. eu quero o foco central pra sempre e I mean every word disso. Tudo com o foco fica mais divertido: treinos, almoços, benches, jogos, aulas, TUDO. Je: mlk, é nóis pra sempre. A gente se entende em todos os sentidos possíveis (duplis, claro). I have no words to describe how much I have fun with you, com as nossas conversas no bbm, nossas zuações, palhaçadas e são esses pequenos detalhes que eu vou levar pra sempre comigo! Sofis: I’ve never imagined having you so close to me. In the beginning we barely talked to each other, but now I see that I got a real friend. Brigada por todos os conselhos, conversas sobre BBB, jogos do spfc, talks antes de physics/bio. Resumindo, foco vida, EU AMO MUITO VOCÊS! Zek: BEBE, ainda bem que você existe para deixar nossa vida mais engraçada e mais fun! Zek, você é extremamente fofa. Thank you for being there when I needed. I’m gonna miss you so much, so you better keep in touch (and your mom, hihi). te amo! ps: você é minha e não da pipi. Nico: Acho incrível o fato da gente conseguir conversar sobre coisas sérias e do nada shift pra risadas (que geralmente vêm de alguma coisa que você fala). Brigada por tudo e, claro, por prever o meu futuro de maneira [quase] correta. Te amo, irmão. Chino: Nothing compares to our talks late at night. Thanks for everything, and I wish the best for your life. Nui: I will never forget the “eu te conheço!!”, haha. Thanks for making my days better with your philosophies on life and on love. Please don’t disappear, because you’re very important to me. Mathias: Ma, you’re awesome, and so is our taste on music. Thank you for everything, melhores conversas sempre. Mo: Thanks for feeding me, haha. As aulas de port não seriam as mesmas sem você, minha partner. Aproveita muito la em Londres e me aguarde pra te visitar hein! Futsal girls and Marcello: The best part of my day I share with you! This season was fantastic, everything was unforgettable (our practices, games, conversations, etc). Pequenas, continuem treinando muito e esperem a nossa visita, vou sentir muito a falta de vocês! Ma, Ka, Geo, Ju (gay), Fe: vocês são muito fofas! Mr Murphy: Mr, thanks for listening and for being so supportive with me. I’ve never met and I will never meet someone like you. Feitosa: Mr, although physics is impossible, our classes were awesome. Thanks for everything! Camila: muito obrigada pelas aulas mais divertidas e mais produtivas da minha vida. Kantor: ai5.

Mãe: Você sempre foi e vai continuar sendo a pessoa que eu mais admiro nesse mundo. Eu só posso te agradecer por tudo que você já fez por mim, por tudo que você já sacrificou para me dar o melhor e torcer para que um dia eu chegue perto de ser igual a você. Você é linda, um exemplo pra mim e eu te amo muito. Tia, nem sei se é justo te chamar assim porque pra mim você é muito mais que isso. Como uma mãe, você sempre me entendeu, me deu conselhos e me apoiou quando eu mais precisava. Eu queria te agradecer por tudo que você já fez por mim e dizer que eu te amo muito! LucasCuriati minha maior sorte foi você ter aparecido na minha vida, mesmo que tenha sido daquele jeito inconveniente.

Lucas although you consider me cruel and unbearable, I really like you and loved that you convinced me to do cursinho, because it became an opportunity for us to get closer!And although I said he never would, the mushroom accepts you back!Allemann Since our History lessons you became an essential person in my life.

Por mais que a gente tenha passado uns anos separadas, you were always a great friend e agora que a gente se reaproximou, nosso senior year vai acabar do mesmo jeito que o pre-I começou. Te amo muito e você vai ser sempre essencial na minha vida! Bjs da pequis. Foco central I Love you two. This year wouldn’t have been so great if both of you hadn’t beem by my side. Só tenho que agradecer vocês por tudo, desejar o melhor pras duas e hope que essa amizade nunca acabe! Valéria, eu não tenho como te agradecer por tudo que aconteceu esse ano. Você além de ser a melhor professora que eu já tive, me ajudou tanto com a sua forma de ser, de me atender e por isso sou muito grata. Por meio de um conhecimento invejável, você fez com que eu adorasse e melhorasse em uma matéria que antes não era das minhas favoritas. Obrigada por tudo. Class of 2012 I wish you all good luck and it was a great pleasure getting to know you guys! Amo vocês and we made it! (:

“I get by with a little help from my friends.” ~ The Beatles
for has
friendliest know all Houston you.
Mom and Dad - You have always supported me and treated me as an equal. You have always looked out for my best. You have forgiven me so many mistakes that I would never have dreamt of. Most importantly you supported me in every aspect of my life. You have helped me and believed in me even when everybody else was gone; you have tried to help through my problems and hardships. But you have also celebrated my victories with me. I am proud to be able to call you my parents. Paco - Papi, I have cherished every single memory that we had since we became friends. You’re the person that will attempt and actually succeed in making every day better. You’re one of my best friends and have been ever since we got to know each other. You have turned my world upside down. You have changed me as person and individual. You are one of greatest people humanity has had the pleasure to have. I am glad to be able to call you my friend. Yormin - Minnie Mouse! The cutest, prettiest, and nicest girl I have ever had the joy of meeting. The bad thing about us is we did not have the chance of meeting sooner. I love everything we do together and hope we could continue being friends everywhere. You are one of the most important women in our life and I hope we will know each other forever. I will miss you (and your hair) so much when you will be in Spain. Luciano - My favorite Junior of all time! I wish we had met sooner we could have changed the face of the earth for our own benefit. If you choose to be, you are not only a best friend but also a great guy. I really wish you were graduating with us. I have spent some of my fondest memories with you. I hope this is a friendship for life. You have really changed my life for the better. Alvaro - The most awesome American I will ever have the joy of knowing. Even though you’re the perfect stereotype you are one of my best friends. I enjoy all of the time I spend with you and even though you get mad for the most inexplicable reasons, it’s what makes you who you are. The kindness you exuberate once we were friends has rarely been exceeded. Filippo - Even though we have not known each other for long we have already become good friends. Once I got to know you after you became less shy, you turned out to be one of the friendliest people ever. I really hope we get to continue with our friendship once we will be together in the UK. Andre - Probably the most loyal friend I ever had the fortune of meeting. Through good and bad you stuck with me and supported me with my problems. I really prize our late night FIFA sessions and our first club visit together. Hikari - The single most happiest and joyful person on the face of the earth! You brighten every room with your radiance and hyperactivity. I really wish you could accompany me on my life journey and keep me entertained forever! Taylor - The friendliest and most caring person I have ever met. You inspire joy and fun whenever you go. Your determination to make the world a better place should be an inspiration to anyone who wants to make a difference. JY - My favorite Asian! Bio and Chem would not be the same without you. I love your unnecessary sense of competition to everything you do and your quirky sense of humor. Christian - Even though you are lazy genius who is admirable in most ways, you still a very good and determined friend. I will miss your sarcasm and cynicism. Daniel - The smartest mathematician duo of the world. I will really miss our math lessons together. You’re the person with the greatest self-control I know! Karina -I will always remember our biology classes. I hope we will continue being friends in the future. Rodrigo - My concert buddy, I hope you will stay the same. I will remember all the memories we had. Caroline - The best bro that at the same time is a chick! Everyone Else - Even though I ran out of space to say how awesome each one of you is, I will always remember all the times we shared. In the words of Whitney Houston “I will always love you” and miss you. 2012!!!
Dear parents: I feel so lucky to be raised by you. Because of you I had plenty of experiences like living in foreign countries that will help me in the future.
Dear friends: The most memorable moments I had in Brazil would be hanging out with you guys. Although it’s been only about a year together, I think our friendship is deep. Most of us will spread apart and make new friends, but let’s keep in touch and meet up sometimes!
Dear teachers: Masters, this young apprentice finally graduated safely. One day, I will make you proud that you had me as a student.

Pai+Mãe: The key to our relationship is definitely our heart. A união que a gente construiu juntos faz parte do inexplicável. Eu tenho vocês dois como pais, amigos e porto seguro. Às vezes eu me pergunto como retribuir, mas a resposta mais plausível seria eu poder proporcionar tudo da mesma forma para os meus filhos. Vocês são parte desta conquista de me formar na escola após 15 anos. Meus pais se tornaram os melhores amigos que eu pude ter. Muito obrigada por aceitar meus defeitos e reconhecer minhas qualidades. O meu amor por vocês é infinito. Ma+Ju: I’ve decided to write for both of u together because there’s no way I could express my feelings separately. A few years ago, I was able to recognize for the first time how important both of u are to me. How essential it is to laugh, to fight, to give advices and to learn from siblings. Part of what I am today I owe u 2. I could, but I would never imagine living without the biggest presents of my life. Continuem sempre do jeitinho que vocês são. Com qualidades e defeitos a gente se ama. Que vocês usem de forma inteligente os anos que vcs ainda têm na escola. Min e soul, the three of us are only one. I love u 2 with all my heart.

U still have many years ahead. But I will always be here to help u. Gio: Giogi, desde que eu me conheço por gente u are part of my life.

Te amo loiro. Paco: “A part of you has grown in me, together forever we shall be, never apart, maybe in distance, but not in the heart”. U sent me this quote saying it reminded u of me but I must say I feel the same about u. We have so much in common and I guess that’s why we fight and love each other so much. Saudade já. Filipe: Tu per me sarai sempre speciale nella tua propria maniera! Mi mancherai tantisssimo. João: A friend that I have an enormous consideration and I wish the best. Your intelligence and sense of humor is what makes you shine. Mathias: Aquele bom e velho amigo. U as a friend, I have no words to explain. We share secrets, laughters, and had the worst math grades.

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” ~ Dr. Seuss one. 2
Mom & Dad: Thank you cannot cover the magnitude of how grateful I am to have you in my life with all your support, time and sacrifice I would not have gotten this far. I know that I might be growing up fast and more independent I want you to know that “I love you forever, I love you always, as long as I am living your baby I will be”.
Brothers: As my God given brothers, I am biological supposed to love you, but my love for you guys is so much greater than that. I am going to miss you guys like crazy; our laugh out loud moments when we could barely breathe, our closeness, abridgedhood, videos and so much more. I hope you all grow into the men I see inside of you every day. I love you. Mari: Mari you are my best friend and I will always love you through are treasured memories together from being fangirlstogether(Sama), playing games, simple parties, eating different foods together (Jap. or Mex.) or just simply enjoying the others company. I think without you in my life I would have been very lonely. Mari I am grateful to have a friend. I hope we never lose connect in the future.
Michael/Paco/Alvaro: You entered my life about the same type with a similar impact. Loud, active and yet lovable. You are a trio brought to life our little world within Portuguese, I will miss our junk food parties, “Sexy TayTay”, poker (Michael), handshakes (Alvaro), heated arguments, unique laughs(Paco), and so much more. You guys were like my cousins and I hope that we stay close.
Fillipo: It fun to argue with from the proper use of English, Americans, Italians, and food. Even though I can’t go to Cuba I can travel to nicer places like in the US or Rome. If I don’t it is a CIA conspiracy. Dan: I think it is funny how our friendship started with apple chips, and it’s been less than a year of knowing each other but I do treasure our friendship and time spent together like that weird high-five. Yo/Ka/Hik: I know we have a past of torment and misunderstandings but I do care for you guys. Our friendship started rough and only blossomed senior yearby getting to know the other better. Yo I will never forget our good times in drama, or the glitter makeup for the cheerleaders, funny Mex jokes and more. Ka I will miss your sarcasm,your dancing, sports and more. Hik you will forever be imprinted in my memory with your adorable laugh, or your sassy comments.
Najm: You have always made my day with your beautiful smile and cheerful attitude. It will be hard to forget you my friend.
Teixeira: I never liked it when everyone called you Toby, to me it didn’t suit you. I will miss being your friend and annoying you. Keep your laces tied.;D Whitey: I am not miss the “white chocolate”, but I will miss being in the same class Ma. You knew how make things”interesting” for me
Davi/Batt/Caio/Ana/Jes/Malu/So/Finha: I will miss you guys, you always knew how to make me smile in the simplest ways. You are all determined, and bright characters that I am glad I got to know. Thank You.

Mãe e Pai: Eu não tenho palavras pra descrever o quanto eu amo vocês, todo o apoio e toda a confiança que vocês me deram através dos anos. Apesar das brigas e discussões, eu sempre soube que vocês sempre estariam do meu lado a qualquer custo. Eu amo vocês demais, e quero que vocês nunca esqueçam disso. Chino: You have always been there by my side since 6th grade (religion project & science fair), and since then you have always been there for me. Despite my jokes, after all these years I see how you have been this amazing and loyal friend. I will miss our nights playing games and staying on Skype up until 3-4 of the next day. I feel really lucky to be your friend and to have the great majority of my classes with you. Caio: After all these years I realize how an incredible person/ friend you turned out to be. Not only do you support me but you also pressure me when I need the most. I truly admire you; you manage to have time for your girlfriend, your friends, to work as hard as anyone, but most importantly, you never mistreat your friends. I will always cherish our hilarious memories during endless game nights, at NR or any other great moment we had together. In the end, I guess I would want to be more like you. Lucas: Mr. 3.9 GPA, you have really inspired me through the years. Even with my constant jokes, I really admire the way that you manage to reconcile time for your friends/school/sports. Most importantly, you have always stood by my side, be it in sports, in school and even in academics when I needed help. HADOUKEN! Matheus: You have always been (and hope you continue to be) my partner in games. Even though you only entered the school in 10th grade, it seems that I’ve known you for much more time. I will always remember the nights where we stood up until 10 a.m. usually with spawn and the whole gang. Michael: Ever since you entered Chapel, you have always been very close to me. You have always been very loyal and considerate; you truly are a gr8 friend. PS: Don’t ever forget how you got ur first kiss, and thanks for the rides/shows. Rodrigo: You have always been an extremely loyal friend. Despite being an air head, your friendship is something that I really cherish. Che: You have always proven that intelligence beats organization. Still, what I feel is your greatest strength is your character; I’ve never seen you mistreat someone intentionally, nor do I think you’re capable of. I really admire you as a person. Dani: You are the definition of loyalty. Always sticking up for your friends and defending them; thanks for your support. Ka: You have always been a great friend, treating me well making me laugh, usually going to my house to study (IOC), and even with your constant mocking; thank you! Yormin: You have always treated me very well and made me laugh – thank you. Tay Tay: Despite untying my shoelaces, I will certainly miss you. Hikari: Your laughter and optimism have always brightened my day – don’t ever lose it! Lala: Filha da Família Adams, I’ll teach you math someday...Mickey: Even with your regular mocks, you often made me laugh and cheered me up. Ma: Even though you created my nickname, I have grown to love it through these years; thank you. Kevin: I will never forget our memorable basketball games we had through these years.Carol: Always so polite and kind (and funny), thank you for making school life easier. Alvaro: Best memory: Basketball season. The way how you motivated and inspired the team really helped me and the rest of the team, thank you for that. Paco: You were probably the main reason why I joined Sonhar. Thanks for giving me this irreplaceable life experience. Luis: I sincerely hope you get into POLI. Jay: You are the last I’m writing for but certainly not the least. I write you last because you are the one I have known for the longest, mostly because of our mothers. Memories with you are countless, going from what a strange person to Tropic Thunder. Our Fifa rivalry is one I’ll always remember, even though you still have to practice a tad more. You are probably the funniest person I know while also one of my best friends, and one thing I’ll never forget with you: Northeastern. Class of 2012: Thank you all for the amazing experiences and memories, you are all fantastic!

Sis: Before I began writing this message to u I thought to myself how can I describe my love towards u, the answer is quite easy if I think about it now, I can’t.

I also thank for your support and understanding that helped me get over with many obstacles. I would like to make every effort for everything in my future, too. Taylor: I can say that you are one of the reasons I came to school for these 4 years. I still remember we firstly met at Ms. Ingrid’s office at our first day of Chapel School. Since then, you have always supported me, encouraged me, and made me laugh. Having you around is not only fun, exciting and sweet but also really relaxing because you are the one who knows a lot about me. The time we shared together would be precious (more than precious!) memory for me. Thanks for always being besides me. I would also like to say thank you for your family, too. I’m sure I would have opportunity to eat salsa and brownie in Japan in the future, but I know Family Olibarria’s salsa and brownie are the best in the world! You are the best of my best friends, Taylor. Love you and I wish your luck in college. I will visit you as soon as possible.

A page of my life is about to turn in June 2012. Along with me, a group of intelligent, prepared, and close-knit people are also facing the hardships of life. These, I am proud to call the best friends one can encounter in his life, and I am truly grateful for them, for I was lucky enough to be a part of their class. During my Chapel years, I’ve had my ups and downs, (although more academic downs and social ups), and my Chapel group was such a vital part of it, I frankly wouldn’t know how Chapel would be without them. It may seem weird saying I was benefitted by not passing Kindergarten, but it was a sort of “bad things which turn into awesome” sort; for I was introduced to my class, which is the favorite amongst many who graduated this school.
In each member of my class, I see someone willing to help, willing to hear me, willing to respect my every decision, willing to be at my side when I most need them. This is even stronger in my closer group of friends, called affectionately “herd”. Whether met from my kindergartner years or summer course at Mrs. Lorraine’s house, these are friends who I’ve always trusted and are the reasons I remained at Chapel after so many academic hardships and problems. These are, truly, the best friends people look for, be it for a moment of seriousness or for a moment of relaxation, these are my strongholds when school life becomes too difficult, people whom I trust for everything. I thank them for helping me when I was in need, hearing my school complaints (which were many), for being there for me, and being one of the best people I’ve ever met. It is an honor for me calling them “friends”, but this word does not properly express my feeling, which is the one of “brothers”. I will not mention names, for they know who they are due to our school experiences.
À parte, obrigado aos meus pais que sempre estiveram lá para me dar chance atrás de chance na escola e acreditarem em mim na hora das piores horas da escola. É errado achar que qualquer pai e mãe faria isso, eu realmente tenho a sorte de ter a minha mãe que tantas vezes lutou na escola por causa dos meus problemas e sempre me deu chances e acreditou em mim quando nem eu mesmo acreditava. À meu pai, que sempre incentivou minha busca por conhecimento, e sempre me falou sobre a importância do conhecimento para uma pessoa, o que mudou o propósito do estudo ao menos em algumas áreas. Ao meu irmão, que sempre me surpreendeu por sua inteligência e maturidade, sempre me considerou uma ótima pessoa e aluno, e isso me ajudou a conduzir minha vida nos piores momentos escolares. À minha família, eu devo todo o apoio escolar, e que muitas vezes foram meus pais e tomaram minhas dores escolares, dispostos a me ajudar na escola de qualquer forma possível. Foram meus “pais” muitas vezes e sempre foram um porto seguro para um aluno encrencado como eu, assim como meus pais são. Também depositaram confiança em mim na vida acadêmica, assim como meus pais, e por isso lhes sou grato. A meus primos e primas, melhor dizendo, quase irmãos e irmãs, agradeço pelo apoio e toda a ajuda que não consegui por conta própria, pois vocês são pessoas a quem eu devo qualquer apoio que puder, pois vocês sempre fizeram o mesmo. São meus irmãos e irmã a quem recorri muitas vezes para pedir ajuda em um trabalho de última hora. Sobre o pessoal da escola, há alguns que muito me ajudaram e foram agradáveis companhias, ficando longe do professor (a)-lugar comum. Um se destaca em particular: Mr. Forbes, que foi uma pessoa que sempre me encorajou e sempre estava de bom humor nas piores horas escolares-isso é positivo, acreditem. Não mencionei nomes por causa do tamanho previsto para a Senior Page, e sinto muito por não poder agradecer a todos especificamente que me ajudaram nesta saga escolar.
hora que for,

“This was a wonderful year for the High School art students, many of whom were involved in elaborate cross-curricular projects. In collaboration with the Brazilian program, students made a collage inspired by Vick Muniz, an author they had studied in Portuguese class, resulting in a massive mural placed throughout multiple panels. 8th graders had the opportunity to embellish their theater project (based upon a screenplay they developed in music class) with detailed, hand-painted scenery. Overall, students explored new techniques of expression in new media such as heated bee wax, and expanded upon these pieces of work during Art Club after school. Many thanks to students and teachers for their collective inspiration, flexibility, and creativity!”

“Art is a renewing and everlasting experience.”

Father Thomas Brown, or “Padre Marrom” as he jokingly refers to himself, first touched our lives 20 years ago when he entered our Chapel School doors after having already served the Church throughout the Brazilian countryside for 35 years.
Although his story with us began in 1992, his own origins date back to September 21, 1926, in Rochester, New York, where he was born to Beatrice and Frank Brown. After graduating from Aquinas High School in 1944, he served as a Merchant Marine for two years in the Pacific War Zone. In 1948 Thomas Brown entered the Oblate Fathers Seminary School, and was ordained a priest in 1955. Within two years, he was boarding a ship and setting sail for Brazil, where he would serve the Lord and the Oblate missions for 56 years, until his retirement in October of 2011.
Anyone who would like to see a monument to Father Brown’s work only needs to visit one of the many parish outreach programs he started in order to meet the needs of the Church community throughout the surrounding São Paulo countryside. You could look to the American Society’s highest honor, the Erik Poliak Award, which he received in 2001 for Outstanding Community Service. You could also choose to visit the tree dedicated in his name located on the Chapel field. However, most would agree that a more noteworthy testament to his legacy can be seen in the smiles that appear on the faces of parishioners, students, and parents as they recall their time spent with our blessed chaplain.
In the Artic
Sharing the Word with God’s children
This yearbook is dedicated to Father Brown, not only because he is a personable and caring man of God, but because his dedication to the Lord’s calling and his compassion for people have served us all as examples of faith and commitment. Father Brown is a constant reminder that we need to be lights in this world. We need to be picanha, when so many people settle for being chuchu.
Father Brown truly lives this concluding verse from the New Testament:
“Be like the Son of Man. He did not come to be served. Instead, he came to serve others. He came to give his life as the price for setting many people free.” Matthew 20:28
Through Christian values, students at Chapel learn to own responsibility for personal actions and community needs through classes, activities, and trips. In addition to embedding these values in all subject matters, Chapel has a number of programs that serve to reinforce these ideas: CARES, WOC, CAP, AASAA Leadership Conference, GIN, and CAS.
interaction
Each Friday, mixed groups of Elementary students from 1st through 6th grades meet for an hour to learn and practice the CARES standards: cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy and self-control. A key aspect of this program is student interaction across grade levels.
WOC - Interactions across grade levels are also incorporated within High School trips. In August, 7th and 8th graders traveled together to Águias da Serra, a camp in the interior of the state of São Paulo. At the camp, 8th grade students and mentors from 11th grade (CAPtains) introduced 7th graders to high school life: how to succeed academically, how to form healthy friendships and work well in teams, and how to make the most of after-school programs. In 9th and 10th grade, students travel to a nearby community to be part of a service learning experience in mid-May.
high grades
Piloted this year, CAP began when six STUCO juniors traveled with 7th and 8th graders at the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year. The juniors worked to make the 7th and 8th graders feel welcome by clearing doubts and offering tips for a smoother transition into high school life. The CAPtains’ interactions with younger students were so powerful that the program continued upon students’ return to school; groups of students from 7th, 11th, and 12th grades routinely met at lunch as a follow-up to their previous conversations and to further make the younger grades feel more comfortable in the new high school atmosphere.
The Global Issues Network is an international conference where students present local service projects. The purpose of these projects is to help solve global dilemmas by focusing on local solutions within their community or school. The Lima-based conference is inspired by the book “20 Global Issues/20 Years to Solve Them.” Two STUCO-sponsored teams were sent from Chapel. STUCO officers offered feedback to the Chapel representatives in anticipation of the event in a collaborative effort to present the clearest and most informative presentation possible.
From September 3-5, a group of five STUCO officers attended a leadership conference in Hotel Estância Atibainha in Campinas. At the conference, Chapel students met their counterparts from other international schools in Brazil. Furthermore, Chapel students watched presentations from keynote speakers about leadership, project implementation, and public speaking. The Chapel representatives were so inspired by the techniques they learned that they shared these new strategies with high school teachers as a professional
development practice.
CAS is a mandatory program for all students pursuing the IB diploma. Students undergo experiential learning and develop a deeper level of awareness of self and of global issues. Achieving clear real-life outcomes and working in teams are core to the CAS program.
The Chapel School Outreach Program, Our Lady Help of Christians Parish, and SHARE support children, youth, elderly, handicapped, and their families. Children and youth receive school tutoring, music, handicrafts, and sports. Chapel students also promote Christmas and Easter food drives. Additionally, there is a distribution of food baskets and financial support for specific projects.
The entities are: Projeto Educar (technical college for adolescents) Casa da Paz (children, adolescents),Vivenda da Criança (children and adolescents), Lar São Francisco (elderly and handicapped), Lar Irmã Inês (children), Lar Nossa Senhora Aparecida (children), Lar Menino Jesus (children) and Creche os Pequeninos (children).

Querido filho, é difícil expressar em poucas palavras o que estamos sentindo neste momento tão importante de fechamento de um ciclo e de começo de um novo. Parabéns André! Obrigado por nos proporcionar tantas alegrias, você é muito especial. Continue cultivando seus valores e princípios, pois eles são a base de seu caráter e por isso, fundamentais para seu sucesso hoje e sempre. Desejamos a você muitas realizações e felicidades no futuro que, certamente te reserva uma posição de destaque na sociedade. Conte sempre conosco, Mãe e Pai.
Dé, parabéns por este dia tão especial na sua vida. Desde pequeno, muito dedicado e decidido, você traçou o caminho digno dos seus esforços. Desejo a você muito sucesso, um beijo de sua irmã.
Você colhe os frutos do seu imenso esforço. Agradeço pelas alegrias que está me dando. Continue assim esforçado, SEMPRE. Seu futuro será brilhante. Parabéns! Te amo, Vovó.
to embrace change as we moved four times between cities/ countries. Quando menino, sempre gostava de conversar com os adultos, e tentava memorizar frases que eram ditas por estes, e uma delas ficou guardado em nossas mentes que era o seguinte: “cada um é cada um”, mas ele confundia e dizia “cada um é todos”, e hoje percebemos que a frase dele era muito mais profunda. Acho que Nicholas já filosofava desde pequenino! Com sua energia aventureira, o futuro não lhe assusta, pois Nicholas vem desenvolvendo foco e persistência. Somos muito sortudos de termos a oportunidade de dividir nossas vidas com um filho muito especial. Te amamos muito, Thomas Batt e Carmen Batt
We are so proud of you, but we are not surprised with your achievements! You have always been hard worker, serious, focused and lovely. As a result of your effort, so many doors to the world have opened for you! We love you and wish you the best! We will always be there for you, Norma, Wallace & Laura.
Desde pequenininha voce parecia saber o devido lugar das coisas. Voce nem falava direito e reclamou com o papai por ele se enxugar com a minha toalha. E assim, durante sua infância e na escola, foram várias demonstrações espontâneas de uma personalidade muito responsável, organizada e equilibrada, que encara suas tarefas e desafios com dedicação, disciplina e serenidade. É por isso que nos brincávamos em casa - “a Ana Carolina nasceu velha!”. É isso mesmo, a ANINHA nasceu sabendo coisas importantes, que ninguém ensinou e que nos surpreendia ...E assim foi até hoje, e com certeza será na faculdade e na sua vida profissional.
Hoje, finalizando essa importante etapa de sua vida, queremos te parabenizar- “nossa querida menininha velha”! Você nos faz sentir muito orgulhosos e felizes como pais e privilegiados por te ter trazido a esse mundo e conviver com você. Nos te amamos muito!
Beijos, Mamãe, Papai, Juliana e vovó Zelia.
Nicholas Costa Batt
Nicholas has always had a great sense of humor in everyday life. As a baby, he was so handsome that people would stop us in the streets of Rio to ask about him. His continuous curiosity, to these days, makes him knowledgeable with many different subjects; from boats to aliens. As the eldest of three, Nicholas quickly understood how to share and unite the family. Always ready for change he has been an example leading his brother and sister
Mathias Duncan Brotero
Mathias,
May your future life be as brilliant as the stars that shine upon you. May you find happiness in simplicity and success along the way. Don’t fear bumpy roads - take them as a reminder to always stop and think before making decisions. Take time to love, to be happy, to truly enjoy life.
May your eternal laughter and your free spirit always guide you, helping you make the wise choices.
Má, thank you for being the unique person you are. Thank you for adding such happiness to our lives. We are truly blessed.
Love you so very much,
Your mom
Mathias, Parabéns!! Estou muito orgulhoso! Eu sabia que você ia conseguir, que não ia nos decepcionar! Muito sucesso e muita sorte no seu futuro!
Um abração forte do Papa

Dear Filippo voyager,
You are sailing on the sea of life with the boldness of the captain prepared to meet any challenge and with the spirit of the explorer in search of new worlds. From Cape Horn to Greenland, from Italy to Brazil, may the winds of good fortune always fill your sails, so that each day you appreciate everything that surrounds you, while never ceasing to scan the distant horizon, one step beyond the limit.

Daniquito,
Chegou a sua hora. Hora de brilhar, hora de crescer, hora de fazer escolhas, hora de acertar e muitas vezes hora de errar , mas também hora de viver , de se jogar de cabeça e aproveitar tudo que esta predestinado para você. Lembre –se sempre que a vida é feita de trabalho , dedicação , esforço , amor pelo que se faz , tempo para si , tempo para família e amigos , sorte ,mas principalmente felicidade , alegria , leveza , brilho no olho. Continue com as suas poucas e boas palavras , continue com a simplicidade na sua vida , continue estando sempre bem onde você esta e principalmente continue vendo alegria e felicidade nas pequenas coisas da vida que ela sempre sorrira para você.
Te amamos
Papai , mamãe e Gabi.
Mas agora, percebo, que as coisas mais importantes e principais, voce já escutou, quase que diariamente, nestes 16 anos de Chapel! É que eu preferi dizer só para você, bem juntinhas, abraçadinhas e te beijando bastante! Então, só posso te pedir: continue assim sempre desse jeitinho, não mude em nada! Voce tem um coração lindo, é feliz e iluminada! Você tem um sorriso lindo e o dom de fazer as pessoas sorrirem ao seu redor, com a sua alegria de viver!

Caríssima Giogi, Parece que foi outro dia teu primeiro dia na Chapel, escola que creio para voce é uma segunda família, ou melhor, para nós pais é uma grande família, a qual trouxe a todos relações de amizades profundas e verdadeiras. Dentro dessa relações não posso deixar de citar o Father Brown , que tem o carisma de todos pais e alunos e é o grande agregador da família Chapel.
Te desejo que voce conquiste e realize todos os teus sonhos e desejos na continuidade dos teus estudos, na vida profissional e sentimental.
Ti voglio bene assai.

“Aos filhos só podemos dar duas coisas Raízes e Asas” - Essa frase nos inspirou ao longo desses 18 anos!
E, entre nosso menino louro sem o dentinho da frente (sua marca registrada na infância) e esse rapaz de sorriso franco e olhar doce, uma coleção de lembranças contadas em fotos, memórias de férias no RJ, limites e responsabilidades nem sempre alinhadas, conselhos, “causos” do Vovô, quitutes do Papai, cuidados de Vó, Festas da Mamãe, sorrisos, choros e uma infinidade de emoções que constroem uma vida! Fatos e histórias que ajudaram a regar suas raízes, hoje, sem dúvida firmes!
The best thing about being the older brother is getting to see you grow through the years. I remember the day we first met and the smile on my face must have been huge! I hold on dearly to all the great moments and laughs that we have shared since. Unfortunately, there were also moments that I missed, but I hope you know that no matter what I am always thinking about you and wishing you the best above all else. I am lucky to be able to have you as my brother and my friend. But most of all, I am proud of the caring, intelligent, and amazing man you have become. Parabéns Carinha! Te amo muito.
Pe Giovanna Hase Quinto di Cameli
Minha Giogio, Que orgulho eu sinto em poder escrever no seu yearbook! Você sabe o quanto eu sonhei e esperei até chegar a minha vez!
A Chapel, seus professores, esses incríveis amigos-irmãos de infância, as experiências que você viveu e buscou... e que a gente possibilitou de coração algumas vezes apertado, trouxeram envergadura para suas asas! Asas, preparadas para querer alçar vôos mais complexos e para longe... Nós, com nó na garganta, e já “gordos” de saudade abrimos nossa gaiola... (como é difícil, você vai ver...)
E aqui estamos, orgulhosíssimos do seu percurso, de quem você se tornou e realizando o sonho de escrever no Yearbook 2012 ( como vislumbramos esse momento) !
Meu querido, ótimos vôos e mais uma infinidade de histórias para criar....
Te amamos bem fundo !
Papai, Mamãe e Antonio
Raphaella Bonfim da Silva Faria
Raphaella filha querida, palavras são insuficientes e infinitas para descrevê-la. Menina observadora, curiosa, arteira, linda, inteligente, cautelosa, independente e insistente em seus desejos, caráter forte, positivo e cheio de determinação. Motivo de alegria e orgulho por cada conquista fácil ou árdua, independente da situação. Finha estamos orgulhosos por tê-la como filha e irmã. Saiba que não importa as broncas dadas por dormir tarde, as crises de humor ou a tristeza por PARENT MESSAGE TO SENIORS 202
seus trabalhos não terem tido o resultado que você queria. O que realmente importa é que você tem realizado tudo que deseja. Parabéns minha princesa, continue lutando por seus ideais com empenho e determinação e faça tudo como sempre fez; com muito amor. Pois para você as barreiras são apenas degraus a serem alcançados. Sucesso e felicidades é o que desejamos a você. Te amamos demais não importa a distância! Beijão no coração, da mamãe, papai, da maninha Tathi, dos avós, do Bonny e da Clyde Marrie.

Muitos são os caminhos da vida e muitas as pessoas que por ele passam. Neste seu caminho chamado Chapel, muitas pessoas passaram ao longo desses 18 anos. Várias passaram simplesmente, outras marcaram e partiram; mas algumas ficaram e marcaram de forma especial, gerando um vínculo que se fortalecerá através do tempo e das emoções: Amizade. E é em nome dessa amizade que queremos que você agradeça o respeito, a consideração e o apoio recebido por todos nos bons e maus momentos, filha. Há uma nova estrada a percorrer, um novo desafio mascarado com a expectativa do desconhecido e sábio destino. Esse mesmo destino, que nesse momento de fragilidade, nos faz sentir esse aperto no peito e esse nó na garganta, leva em sua bagagem todos os momentos e todas as emoções vividas e compartilhadas, cuidadosa e carinhosamente alojadas na inesgotável memória...De coração, límpida e sinceramente, o nosso respeito e admiração pela pessoa que você é e que em cada caminho seu filha, brilhe sempre a esperança de um amanhã melhor. À você, o nosso muito obrigada por cada hoje que passamos. Sucesso!
Te amamos, Mamãe e Papai

We have watched you grow from a little schminker to a leader both on and off the playing fields. You are becoming an amazing young man, and your future looks very bright. We know that your next challenge is at Central Michigan University and look forward to your tackling it just as you have all of the things that you have come against before. We are very proud of you, and are looking forward to all that your life will bring you. Congrats again, Good Luck, and let the Lord guide you. Last, but not least...FIRE UP CHIPS!!!
Estou muito orgulhosa de você!! As amizades que semeou, o senso de justiça, o poder da reflexão e do senso crítico, a persistência e a coragem que desenvolveu além da alegria que sempre manteve comprovam tudo isso. Tenho a certeza de que Chapel School a preparou para se tornar uma cidadã, com compromissos dos mais altos valores. Preparou-a para novos desafios e um único objetivo: a conquista! Novas pessoas, espaços, conhecimentos, sucessos e, enfim, o mundo! Sou grata as suas amigas mais queridas por terem te acolhido quando preciso e, assim como você o fará, eu também as carregarei em meu coração. Aproveito para agradecer aos membros do colégio com os quais convivemos de uma forma ou de outra. Parabéns! Love you so much!! Gambate nee!

Pipe, é difícil colocar sentimentos em poucas palavras. Mas, antes de mais nada, PARABÉNS por esta etapa que se encerra. Obrigada por ser o filho carinhoso e atencioso que é. Sua maior qualidade sempre foi ser extremamente amoroso com todos nós. Cultive o dom que Deus te deu (você já sabe qual é, não é?). Que Deus te abençoe. Estarei sempre na torcida para o seu sucesso em todos os sentidos. Te amo muito!
Mamãe
Filho, parabéns por mais essa conquista! A nova etapa que se aproxima será um grande desafio, onde você necessitará inspiração e precisará transpirar muito. Saiba que estaremos sempre ao seu lado, dando o apoio que precisar, com muito amor e carinho.
Papai
PARABÉNS! Para o meu irmão preferido (única opção), muito obrigado por todas as horas que passou e sei que sempre passará ao meu lado. I will never forget the endless hours of video games, soccer, tennis and other numerous things we did together. Ae big 8 (rsrsrs).

Dan,
Congratulations on your graduation from Chapel High School. We are very proud of you for willingly accepting the huge challenge of leaving the comfort of everything you had in Michigan and moving to Brazil just weeks before the beginning of your senior year at Farmington High. We hope
Nossa querida Marina.
Menina de cabelos loiros, olhos azuis, alta, esguia, aparencia frágil.
Voce é o resumo de uma menina delicada e meiga……..que faz juz ao seguinte ditado: -”Não julgue o livro pela capa”. Ao contrário do que se espera desta tão delicada aparencia, você está se tornando uma mulher forte, decidida e determinada naquilo que quer alcancar.
Acompanhar o seu desenvolvimento nestes 18 anos foi uma alegria e um prazer. Nosso orgulho por você é muito grande!
Uma moça muito linda na aparência física e mais bela ainda no coração.
Sua determinação é admirável em todos os sentidos, nos bons e maus momentos. Você é o tipo de mulher que não se abate com um comentário e mais ainda, não liga para eles. Você é do jeito que gosta de ser.
Isso te levará a um caminho lindo! Não só como profissional, mas como pessoa maravilhosa que já é.
Estamos muito felizes por você ter completado esta fase em sua vida e estar partindo para uma nova etapa que com certeza será de sucesso absoluto.
Muitas novas conquistas e realizações chegarão para você em breve.
Te amamos muito “BIZIZE”! Você sempre será nossa linda filha Nina!

Larissa Borges Guimarães
Querida filha. Você sempre será a nossa menina, que parece nunca ficar mais velha. Você acaba de vencer mais uma etapa na sua vida, com esforço, responsabilidade e alegria. Quando você nasceu, lutamos muito pela sua vida e Deus, em sua infinita bondade, nos deu este presente. Lembramos quando você tinha 2 anos e tentava falar com um vocabulário só seu. Lembramos de você estudando, viajando, pescando, jogando futebol, indo ao Morumbi ver o São Paulo jogar e até desmaiando com medo de injeção. E agora Lalá, iniciam-se os momentos das escolhas, que nem sempre são fáceis. Mas estaremos sempre ao seu lado para te dar força na sua jornada de lutas e vitórias. Você fará a diferença, superando, com sabedoria, paciência e dedicação, os desafios que vierem pela frente. Desta vida levamos nosso crescimento espiritual, alicerçado na família, na solidariedade, na caridade e no amor. Lalá, obrigado por você existir em nossas vidas. Você é uma filha maravilhosa e temos muito orgulho de você. Mamãe, papai, Priscilla, Ingrid e Vovó Marisa.

아들 !! 졸업 축하해..이제와 고교시절을 되돌아 보니
물론 공부도 중요했지만 정말로 좋은 친구를 만났던 시절이 그때였구나
싶구나..
지금까지도 맘 한켠에 간직하고 있는 한 귀절이 있단다. 사랑한다. 아들!!!
“ 좋은 사람 하나 만나는 것이 일생일대 큰 행운입니다. 그 행운은 결코 멀리 있지 않습니다. 자기가 먼저
좋은 사람이 되는 것입니다. 먼저 꿈을 가져야 꿈을 가진 사람을 서로 만날 수 있듯이... “
Caroline Kurzweil
Amor da nossa vida, Quando você tinha 6 meses, lendo “Os Filhos” no livro O Profeta do poeta Gibran, foi que descobri o que você realmente seria para nós e nós para você.
“...Vós sois os arcos dos quais vossos filhos são arremessados como flechas vivas. O Arqueiro mira o alvo na senda do infinito e vos estica com toda a Sua força para que Suas flechas se projetem, rápidas para longe.
Que vosso encurvamento na mão do Arqueiro seja vossa alegria: pois assim como Ele ama a flecha que voa, ama também o arco que permanece estável.”
Minha querida filha, Quanta honra e privilegio ser sua mãe. Você que só tem me proporcionado alegria e felicidade. Olho para você e relembro seus primeiros passos nessa jornada em direção aos seus objetivos, sempre claros e definidos, abrindo e fechando cada ciclo que abraçou. Muito aprendi com sua paciência,compreensão e determinação diante dos seus ideais. É mansa e amorosa, ao mesmo tempo destemida frente aos desafios que a vida lhe impôs,vencendo um a um, com o sorriso do agradecimento. Com o passar dos anos, você vem
Nos sentimos honrados por Ele nos ter escolhido como arco de uma flecha tão perfeita, tão linda, tão precisa e tão brilhante que no seu trajeto ilumina tudo e todos.
Vai filha querida! Vai acertar seu alvo que permaneceremos estáveis, acompanhando e admirando sua trajetória, seu caminho, com o nosso mais profundo amor.
Ca, que Deus te abençoe, proteja, guie e ilumine.
Te amamos muito para sempre e para depois de sempre. Um beijo com muito carinho da mamãe, do papai e do Be.

Ana Laura Mendoza Saenz
love and joy! Let’s be honest. We need nothing more! It’s wonderful to see you have turned into such a handsome and confident young man. When we look back we realize you have really learned not to fear any obstacles, although you do not underestimate them. Oh boy!!! So far, so good. Congratulations!! It’s been a complete privilege sharing all the wonderful moments of victory with you, such as this one. You cannot imagine how proud we are!!! Keep on going… Tomorrow is right around the corner…. !! You can do it…. As for us, we will always be there as witnesses of your success…. Love. Mom and Dad.
Ana Laura, Es difícil encontrar las palabras para describir la felicidad de verte crecer en un ambiente incomparable, que ha sido la extensión de nuestra familia lejos de nuestro país, rodeada de personas maravillosas con las que aprendimos a cultivar una amistad que nos va a acompañar el resto de nuestras vidas. Como olvidar todas las veces que tus inseparables amigas y sus mamas llegaban a casa y conversaban de manera tan agradable que nadie quería que pasase el tiempo. Tusinnúmeras experiencias a lo largo de los anos nos llenan de orgullo y nostalgia a la ves, tus trabajos en kinder garden que aun guardamos;los proyectos para Science fair cada ano; tu primera comunión con el Father Brown; los festivales de final de ano cantando junto con tus compañeros de grupo; tu energía y liderazgo organizando el equipo de cheerleaders con el cual compartiste presentaciones excelentes en las cuales se divirtieron muchísimo; y todos tus viajes de estudios, MUN o deportivos.
Little bro, stop copying me! Just kidding. You’ve achieved so much; I am extremely proud of you! Love you to bits, even though you drive me crazy. Love, Big Sis.
Carolina Couso Najm
Carol, princesinha de nossas vidas. Mais uma etapa foi conquistada de muitas que virão. Estamos tão orgulhosos da menina doce, responsável, lutadora, consciente e de grande caráter que você se tornou.Sempre com muita disposição e alegria, você vem escrevendo a sua história.
Lo que nos deja muy felices es saber que has disfrutado intensamente todas las actividades, compartiendo con tus compañeros y amigos cada momento demostrando tu educación y respeto para todos. Esto es una demostración clara de tu carácter, que seguramente te va a ayudar a continuar con éxito la próxima etapa de tu vidaen la universidad y mas allá.
La mejor forma de describir todo el desarrollo que has tenido en estos maravillosos anos en Chapel, es recordar a nuestra preciosa niña asistiendo a las fiestas juninas en kinder garden, y verte ahora toda una hermosa joven participando del senior’s fashion show, siempre manteniendo el mismo espíritu y felicidad de vivir.
A sua formatura encerra um ciclo que marca o início de grandes desafios e oportunidades. Com determinação, dedicação e fé você irá alcançá-los. Lembre-se que a vida é feita da harmonia de vários elementos que nos ajudam e dão sentido aos nossos objetivos: família, você, profissão e amigos. Cuide bem de todos porque são importantes. Não poderíamos deixar de lembrá-la que sempre estaremos ao seu lado para ensiná-la, apoiá-la e amá-la. Conte conosco para tudo, e não se esqueça que você também é a razão das nossas vidas.
Te amamos muito. SEJA MUUUUITO FELIZ!

Dear Caio,
The search for the baby picture made us go back in time…. Impossible to hold back a big smile at each page of the album..... Our hearts were instantly filled with so much
We once read that children are like kites and a parent’s job is too slowly unwind the string as they begin to soar. Today we realize that the string is let out and we must set you free. As you move on from High School, learn to find yourself as an individual and find your passions as you go along. There will be many challenges to come and never regret your mistakes, just learn from them. Move forward and become the Woman we know you can be. Always remember that you are a leader and lead the way.
“Mija you may have outgrown our laps, but our daughter you will always be.” We cannot wait to see what happens next.
“So World, look out. We present you our daughter, Miss Taylor Ann! ”
Love
Mom and Dad
Lucas Montemor Klegen de Oliveira

You dreamt, you believed, you meticulously planned, you
never gave up, you strived, and you achieved. Lucas, you have always been and will continue to be an inspiration to all of us. The journey of life brings us opportunities as well as challenges. Make sure to grab the opportunities and beat the challenges. And, if sometimes, things get out of control, remember that tomorrow will give you a new chance to keep chasing after your dreams.
We thank God every day for having given us such a priceless gift, YOU. These are just a few of the blessings you have brought into our family: happiness, love, good example, pride, respect, trustfulness, optimism, delight, hopefulness and so much more. We ask God to bless you along this new journey you are about to start. Lucas, please know that you can always count on us and that we will always love you. Mom, Dad, and Ka

Querido Martin,
Nosso aventureiro, atleta, o amigão, irmão e filho carinhoso.
Voce acaba de cumprir uma etapa de 13 anos de escola que nos encheu de orgulho. Foi sempre um prazer ouvir dos professores, seu crescimento academico e tambem como ser, com seu senso de etica, responsabilidade e justiça, tão presente em tudo que voce faz. Um menino que cresceu rapido por fora e por dentro foi amadurecendo com plenitude. Parabens por ter se tornado uma linda pessoa, querido por todos, uma qualidade que só pessoas sensiveis e amorosas possuem.
Alvaro Alberto Polanco
Alvaro adorado, nuestro bebe: El tiempo ha pasando rápidamente y vemos con mucho orgullo en el excelente joven que te has convertido. Estamos muy orgullosos de ti! Parece solo ayer cuando eras unbebe alegre, travieso, el “Vito Get” que se ha convertido hoy en un hombre joven maduro, siempre alegre, lleno de sueños y muchas metas por alcanzar. Estamos seguros que lograras todo lo que te propongas porque siempre te ha caracterizado ese carácter emprendedor y entusiasta.
Tienes una alma muy noble, y eso nos llena de emoción, siempre pendiente de todos. Desde muy niño fuiste el que trataba de resolver cualquier problema que hubiese entre tus amigos. Eres tierno, alegre, y con un corazón puro. Nunca cambies.
Ahora que dejas tu hogar, vas en busca de nuevos horizontes, feliz que iras a la Universidad que te gusta. Éxitos hijo, sigue luchando por lo que quieres. “Tu puedes, siempre has podido”
Es una nueva etapa, muy importante y llena de nuevas aventuras; estarás mas cerca de tu hermano, tu gran amigo; ustedes dos son el mayor tesoro que Dios nos ha regalado. Estamos felices de saber que se adoran y necesitan el uno del otro.
Nosotros aquí estaremos siempre para apoyarte y deseosos que lleguen las vacaciones para que regreses a tu casa donde Papi, Mami y Romeo te estaremos esperando con los brazos abiertos.
Te amamos y estamos orgullosísimos de ti. Papi y Mami.
Rodrigo Ogura Ramos Rioli
Rodrigo,
Nós ficaremos com as boas lembranças das suas imitações, das historias curiosas sobre os personagens da Chapel, de torcer pelos seus varios times nos varios esportes que voce participou com suor e garra, e claro da sua turma de amigos animada.
Outra etapa se inicia, e com certeza voce encontrará os caminhos certos para trilhar o novo desafio. Vá em frente filhão, e aproveite os anos de vida universitaria e, como sempre, conte conosco.
Com amor
Papi e Mami

Congratulations, we are happy and proud and know you feel the same!! - Dada
Che, It’s been a long and beautiful journey, all the way from Pre I to 12th grade... I remember you in the first days of school, the shy little boy in blue English shoes who wouldn’t eat his food at snack time! I am very proud of you, not only for your wonderful scholastic achievements, but for the person you are. You are kind and helpful to your family and a true and honest friend to your peers.

민정이에게, 13년 전 참 작은 모습으로 학교에 갔던 아이가 이제는 숙녀가 되어 더 넓은 세상으로 나아갈 준비를 하고 있다. 그 작은 모습들 하나하나가 모여서 오늘의 민정이가
되었고, 이제 또 다른
모습들이 차곡차곡 쌓여서 더 큰 민정이로 거듭 날 것이다. 그동안 학교 생활 하느냐고 수고
많았고, 앞으로 걸어갈 새털같이 많은 날들을 위하여도 격려 와 응원의
박수를 보낸다.
민정아! 많이 많이 사랑한다.
이제 얼마 있으면 너는 누에고치를 벗어난 나비가 되어 더 넓은
세상으로 날아갈 것이다.
아늑하고 따뜻한 보금자리를 떠나 홀로 서기를 해야 하는 세상으로
너를 보낼 생각에 걱정이
자못 크지만, 더 큰 사람이 되기 위하여 꼭 필요한 과정이라고 생각한다.
네가 나아갈 세상은 새로움으로 가득찬 신대륙 같은 곳일 것이다.
새로운 문화, 새로운 친구, 새로운 환경, 새로운 날씨, 새로운 음식...
뭣보다 이런 새로운 것들을 마음껏 즐겼으면 좋겠다. 처음엔 모든
것이 낯설고 어색하겠지만
네가 마음 먹기에 따라서 모든 것들은 곧 낯익은 모습들로 변해갈
것이다.
그리고 좋은 친구들과 큰 즐거움이 있는 생활이 되었으면 좋겠다.
사람은 혼자 행복할 수는
없는 존재란다. 혼자하는 즐거움은 아주 어렵거나 아주 짧게 나타나는
현상이니 친구들과
더불어 많이 행복 하거라.
친구들을 먼저 배려하고, 서로 나누며, 관심을 기울여 준다면 그
친구들도 모두 너를 좋아하게
될 것이다. 그렇게 서로 함께 살아가는 연습을 하거라.
na sua vida, porque
여기에 엄마 아빠의 바람을 보탠다면 깊이 생각하는 습관으로 지혜를
키우고, 열정적으로 공부하여
좋은 지식을 습득하는 사람이다. 지혜는 너의 안에서 나오는 것이고,
지식은 바깥에서 오는 것이란다.
지혜라는 왼발과 지식이라는 오른발로 당당히 서서 세상을 향해
나아가 너의 푸른 꿈을 펼쳐라.
멋지고 아름다운 민정이가 되기를 희망한다.
가족 모두의 이름으로, 아름다운 사람 민정이 너를 사랑한다. 사랑해
엄마 아빠가

Monique Cappelli Hess von Gabriel
Monique, Faltam expressões para dizer da alegria que estamos sentindo agora.
Dear Andre, it’s difficult to express how proud and blessed we feel for being your parents. Since you were a baby, we admired your great humor and open smile that charmed everybody around. As you grew up, it was great to see the combination of a sharp logical mind with your ability to “read” people, always finding the right words to bring harmony or clarity and warm hearts. All those years we could witness and cheer with the development of the student, the athlete, the video gamer (could be less…), the drummer, the social worker, the loyal friend, the adventurous travel companion, and above all, the wonderful loving son, a great human being, with strong values and an immense heart. We wish you, Andre, all you deserve - a brilliant future, working with joy and fulfillment in the field you choose, in accordance with your beliefs, surrounded by beloved friends and family, spreading to the world as much happiness as you bring to your parents.
We love you!
Mom & Dad
Filipe Franco Torquato
Acompanhamos muitas peripécias e aventuras pelas quais você passou, enfrentou e triunfou.
Sentimos portanto que esse diploma é apenas o fim de um capítulo que tem um pedaço nosso.
Que essa alegria que desfruta agora fique para sempre e que essa etapa seja apenas o começo de muitas outras que irá conquistar.
Seja diferente, mantenha seus princípios sempre. Viver assim é a única maneira para se deixar um exemplo.
Finalmente Monique nunca se esqueça que o nome é algo que custa uma vida toda para ser conquistado e pode ser perdido em apenas um instante.
Parabéns!!!!!!!
SUA FAMÍLIA ESTÁ ORGULHOSA !!!
Nicholas Wever
Filhinho Nico, É extremamente difícil reduzir 18 anos de interação tão intensa em algumas frases. No entanto, você facilitou as coisas para nós. Nossa mensagem pode ser resumida em: agradecimento. Por todo o bem que você gerou e tantas lições que você nos ensinou.
Nico, obrigado por seu interesse em nós. Que pais que não adoram ser convidados a sair no sábado à noite, ir a jogos de futebol, viajar de férias, tocar em um show com você, etc., quando você sempre teve tantas opções disponíveis. Obrigado também pelo seu amor. Ver o prazer genuíno que você sente quando nos encontramos, nos causa uma sensação indescritível. Sentir que somos merecedores da sua confiança (apesar dos caminhos às vezes tortuosos que você encontra para nos dizer as coisas) nos faz sentir absolutamente privilegiados.
Lipe, aqui se encerra mais uma etapa da sua vida. Neste momento, emergem de nossas memórias adormecidas, tantos flashes seus enquanto ia crescendo, um pouco a contragosto para nós, que vivíamos cada ano já com saudades do que tinha passado... Nestes flashes, sempre um menino de bem com a vida, sorriso constante, carinhoso, e espirituoso também (suas “tiradas” sempre nos surpreendem).
A cada mudança de país e escola, a nossa preocupação e ansiedade no primeiro dia de aulas, eram totalmente dissolvidas pelo sorriso largo no fim do dia e o “Tudo ótimo, mãe!”. Em um mais recente episódio, aquelas semanas no Botafogo, você nos descrevia ao telefone, o quão “espartano” era tudo ali, difícil, muita competitividade e alguma hostilidade por ser o menino “novo”, recém chegado. Perguntamos: “Quer ficar aí?” E voce não titubeou: “Quero sim! Eu fico!”. Depois de duas semanas saiu de lá com muitos amigos e achando graça do arroz frio e feijão queimado... Sua capacidade de adaptação e inserimento em qualquer ambiente é impressionante. Isto, meu filho, vai ser muito útil
Obrigado pelo exemplo de conduta. Seja na superação de obstáculos, com sua perseverança face a situações que claramente o faziam sofrer, seja na forma com a qual você cultiva relacionamentos profundos com amizade sincera. Você muitas vezes nos deu uma outra perspectiva da vida. Obrigado por nos encher de orgulho, não só de você por tudo que você é e faz, mas de nós mesmos por você nos ter escolhido para ter esse relacionamento tão forte.
Olhamos para o seu futuro com muita esperança e otimismo, pois estamos certos de que você encontrou seu rumo, tem clareza dos seus objetivos e sabe o que precisa ser feito pra atingi-los. Lembre-se sempre de que para, realmente, termos “Coisas Interessantes” para dizer e fazer é necessário esforço e “go the extra mile”.
Estaremos certamente ao seu lado para apoiá-lo no que precisar e esperamos continuar merecedores do seu amor que tanto preenche nossas vidas.
Te amamos muito, Mami e Papi

真理へ
あなたが大きな環境の変化をおそれずにブラジルに来る勇気を持ってく れたこと、外国語での学習、価値観の違いなどに悩み、多くのチャレンジ を重ねながらも今日、卒業の日を迎えてくれたことを本当に誇りに思いま す。
そして、大変な中でも先生、友人と楽しそうに高校生活を送ってくれたこと は私たちにとってとてもうれしいことでした。
卒業おめでとう。チャペルで学んだこと、考えたこと、悩んだことを大切 に、すばらしい女性となってください。
最後に次の言葉を贈ります。「変える勇気」を最初に訳した翻訳者の勇気 に敬意を表しつつ。
神よ、
変えることのできるものについて、それを変えるだけの勇気をわれらに与 えたまえ、
変えることのできないものについては、それを受け入れるだけの冷静さを 与えたまえ、
そして、変えることのできるものと、変えることのできないものとを、識別す る知恵を与えたまえ。
（ラインホルト・ニーバー、大木英夫訳） 父、母
Mari,
We are very proud of you who had courage coming to Brazil and staying with family in spite of dramatic change of your life.
but you always gave us a smile and strength to bear with those hard times.
I thought you would always be in my arms but you are ready to leave now... I really want to thank you for everything that you did for our life, and for always standing with our God. I believe that you will always have a life of faith and obedience to God and may our almighty God be with you, protect you and love you forever.

We are very proud of you who completed high school course, overcoming all of challenges such as studying in foreign language, difference of culture, and so on. We are very glad of you, although all of those challenges, it seems you enjoyed your days in high school with teachers and friends.
Congratulations for your achievement and we hope you become a nice young lady, keeping in your mind what you have learnt, thought, and struggled at Chapel.
For closing, we would like to present following phrase, respecting courage of translator who translated “courage to change” as the first phrase to emphasize. “O God, give us serenity to accept what cannot be changed, courage to change what should be changed, and wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.” ~ Reinhold Niebuhr Mom, Dad
Meu querido David, Escrevo com orgulho e satisfação estas palavras no livro de seu ultimo ano na Chapel , acreditando que o tempo passado foi de alegria, cumplicidade, amizades duradouras e aprendizado; e que todas as broncas, todas as “chamadas” todos os conselhos foram uma lição para a construção do futuro que começa agora.
Foi um longo caminho meu filho, e não me decepcionei nem por um instante com a pessoa em que você se transformou. Voce é sensível, amoroso, inteligente e querido seu coração é enorme, mas é forte e decidido para procurar seu próprio rumo e decidir realmente aquilo que acredita! Continue fazendo tudo com integridade e acredite em você, naquilo que o torna feliz e que realmente você deseja realizar, utilizando esta capacidade enorme que você tem de aprender, com determinação e coragem tudo para você meu filho será possível!
Para “Meu Garoto”, Kevin Yoon. Parabens pela graduacao na Chapel e agradeco a Deus pelos melhores momentos da nossa vida que voce proporcionou para nossa familia. Uma etapa da sua vida termina mas uma outra etapa da vida lhe aguarda e eu tenho certeza que Deus estara guiando sempre o seu caminho. Estou muito orgulhoso de voce! Voce se tornou Um Grande Homem! Eu sou um homem feliz porque eu tenho o melhor filho do mundo! Parabens e muita felicidade e sucesso nesta nova fase da sua vida. Te amo!
(Seu fa numero 1: “o baixinho”, Papai)
Agradeço por tudo que já me deu, por ser ótimo filhinho, irmão, neto, sobrinho, primo. E tudo que posso desejar é que a vida lhe traga um futuro de felicidade e amor!
Mamãe
Meu Querido Filho, Eu sempre tentei ensinar para você que o conhecimento é a base de tudo. E que sem ele, você não conseguiria construir o futuro que eu tanto desejo para você. E mais. Sempre tentei ensinar que sem o conhecimento nós não coseguimos nem mesmo fazer as escolhas necessárias para alcançar nossos objetivos. É simples: não se escolhe sem conhecer e não se constrói sem uma boa base. Daí porque a minha alegria em ver que você esta concluindo mais esta etapa da formação de seu conhecimento. Voce é um orgulho para mim e para cada um dos que tem a sorte de conviver com você. Meu desejo de muito sucesso em um futuro onde você consiga realizar cada um e todos os seus planos.
Com amor de seu Pai
You are so precious, because you are unique! I remember that you used to ask me. “Mom imagine how is like if you had a one more kid in your life? He might study harder than I since I have not been able to do well? Then would you be happier?” but Ii even thought about it more than you think, there is no son better than you. You were so good since you were in the womb, until now… You did not let me down once.
Looking back there were lots of tough times in our last days
