Yearbook - Class of 2017

2016 - 2017

“We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.” Ray Bradbury

How do you organize a universe themed yearbook?

Hey you, planet! This yearbook was created by the students, teachers, and staff for the Chapel community.

The Universe is more than massive. It’s more than colossal. It’s more than what we can imagine. Chapel is just one star particle in this chaos that is undefinable. Despite its relative size, if we zoom in with our telescopes, we can see a galaxy full of diversity. Each planet has different conditions and characteristics and as we orbit and cling on to different things we are simply trying not to implode or collide with an asteroid. Sure, a lot of days have sandstorms, lightning storms, and explosions of stars. However, our galaxy finds a quintessential rhythm that nourishes each and every planet and each and every star. One day these planets will be released from their gravitational pull and venture out into the great and unknown. What happens next is uncertain, but we hope you take this yearbook along to remember each and every memorable rotation made during Chapel`s 69th year.

Anika Kapur, Hannah Park, and Isabel Aboud.

Mission Statement

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.

The Moon

Did you know that our moon was not always there? It only came to existence a hundred million years after the planets of the solar system began to form. There are three theories which explain how it happened. The first theory is the giant impact hypothesis, which explains that a Mars-size body collided with Earth, throwing various chunks of Earth’s crust into space. Thus, gravity bound the ejected particles together, creating a moon.

Ms. Flavia Pedro Teacher

Ms. Marianna Zambrini Classroom Aide

The second theory is the co-formation theory, which explains that gravity caused a material in the solar system to come together at the same time as gravity bound particles together to form the Earth. This means that the Earth and the Moon were created simultaneously, according to this theory.

The third theory is the capture theory, which explains that a rocky body from space formed elsewhere in the solar system and was drawn into orbit around the Earth.

Ms. Mayara Del Dotto Teacher

Ms. Lais Albino Classroom Aide

The Moon

The dark side of the moon is a myth. In reality both sides of the Moon see the same amount of sunlight however only one face of the Moon is ever seen from the Earth. This is because the Moon rotates around its own axis in exactly the same time it takes to orbit the Earth.

The

The Moon has quakes. These are caused by the gravitational pull of the Earth. Astronauts use seismographs on their visits to the Moon, and found that small moonquakes occurred several kilometers beneath the surface, causing ruptures and cracks. Scientists think the Moon has a molten core, just like the Earth.

Ms. Natasha Costantini Teacher

Ms. Suellen Gonçalves Classroom Aide

Moon

Our days will get longer! Researchers say that when the moon was formed, about 4.6 billion years ago, it was about 14,000 miles (22,530 kilometers) from Earth. It’s now more than 280,000 miles, or 450,000 kilometers away. Meanwhile, the Earth’s rotation rate is slowing down — our days are getting longer and longer. As the moon gets farther and farther apart from the Earth, and the Earth continues to rotate more slowly, it is predicted that an Earth’s day might be a month long in the future.

Mars

Why is the big red planet named Mars? Mars is named after the Romans God of War. Precisely at first, for the Greeks, it was named Ares (God of War from Greece) but the Romans saw that red color and they chose, like the Greek, a God of war to represent the planet whose name was Mars. It is incredible that Mars was named by Romans because of its colour, and that was a long time ago!

Ms. Lidia Torres Teacher

Ms. Maria Antonia Ayres Classroom Aide

An interesting occurance happened that allowed us to study Mars before sending rovers to this planet. Pieces of Mars fell to Earth! This opened a door for scientists which probably is why we have so much knowledge about Mars’ terrain and not only the terrain but Mars itself. It’s so amazing that a rock from a planet 54.6 million kilometers from Earth landed here and enabled us to study Mars!

Mars is the only other planet besides the Earth that has polar ice caps. The northern cap is called the Planum Boreum, with Planum Australe in the south. Water ice has also been found under the Martian ice caps. In the past, Mars had an ocean filled with more water then the whole Arctic Ocean! Just thinking about it is weird: A planet that today is just a plain brown reddish country with no ocean and trees but in the past at least it had an ocean filled with water! The ocean was known as “Oceanus Borealis”.

Ms. Maria Hernandez Teacher

Ms. Sarah Silva Classroom Aide

Mars

A new discovery can change how fast we will one day be able to travel to Mars! In the present, with the fastest NASA spaceship traveling constantly at 58,000 Kilometers per hour, would still take 162 days to reach Mars, and honestly 162 days is a lot of days for something to go wrong. There is a theory that with the use of photon propulsion it would only take 3 days to get to Mars! ONLY 3 DAYS, THAT’S INCREDIBLE! Mars is 54.6 million kilometers from the Earth and achieving that in 3 days it’s humongous.

Mars

You call Mount Everest a big mountain? Well, you haven’t seen Mars’ Olympus Mons yet, the biggest volcano in the solar system! It’s three times the size of Mount Everest, probably it’s all climbers’ dream to climb there. Wait a minute! Is the volcano still active!?!? Olympus Mons could still be active with the potential to erupt!

Ms. Mônica Rossini Teacher

Ms. Livia Albino Classroom Aide

Different from Earth seasons, and from most planets in the solar system, Mars’ seasons are longer. The seasons are also extreme because its elliptical (oval-shaped) orbital path around the Sun is more elongated than most other planets in the solar system. Having said that, Mars has the largest dust storms in the solar system as well, which can last for months and cover the whole planet! Larger storms typically only happen during summer in Mars’ southern hemisphere.

Satellite

On October 4th 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, which was the world’s first artificial satellite sent into space orbit. The satellite was a 58 cm (23 in) diameter metal sphere and it had four external radio antennas to broadcast radio pulses. The launch of the Sputnik 1 was the beginning of the space race between the Soviet Union and the USA.

Ms. Daniela Shoji Teacher

Ms. Thais Cianci Classroom Aide

There are over 2,500 satellites in orbit around the Earth nowadays. If you put all of the data that our satellites collect in a year on DVDs, it would form a stack nearly 4 times the height of the Empire State Building. That’s 443 meters or 1450 feet (that’s super tall!!)

Satellite

Satellites travel at around 8,000 meters per second (18,000 miles per hour) and they make a complete orbit around the Earth in about 90 minutes. That means that, in a given day, satellites can travel the entire circumference of the Earth about 14 times.

Ms. Elizabeth Noel-Morgan Teacher

Ms. Carolina Vieira Classroom Aide

The idea of satellites was first mentioned in a fictional short story called “The Brick Moon” by Edward Everett Hale. The book is about the construction and launch into orbit of a sphere, 200 feet in diameter, built with bricks. The device was intended to be used as a navigational aid, but it was accidentally launched with people aboard. Want to find out what happened? Read the book!

On February 10th, 2009, two communications satellites, from the US and Russia, collided. Iridium 33 (Satellite from the USA) and Kosmos-2251 (Satellite from Russia). This is the only time two man-made satellites have collided by accident. The collision added more than 2,000 pieces of trackable debris to the inventory of space junk.

Ms. Karina Wenda Teacher

Ms. Cyati Ribeiro Classroom Aide

Satellites are programmed to avoid meteorites so they don’t get destroyed! Of over 8,000 satellites orbiting the Earth, only one has ever been destroyed by a meteorite. They are also placed into an orbit designed to avoid other satellites.

The Sun

Temperatures inside the Sun can reach 15 million degrees Celsius. Energy is generated through nuclear fusion in the Sun’s core – this is when hydrogen converts to helium – and because objects generally expand, the Sun would explode like an enormous bomb if it wasn’t for it’s tremendous gravitational pull.

Ms. Karina Macedo Teacher

Ms. Alanna Andrade Classroom Aide

The Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis are caused by the interaction of solar winds with the Earth’s atmosphere. Named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora is the Display of unpredictable lights during the night sky. It occurs on the northern hemisphere in Russia, Canada or Alaska or in the southern hemisphere close to the Antarctica. Sometimes it reaches the edge of New Zealand, Chile and Australia. This ghostly light originates at altitudes of 100 km to more than 400 km (60 miles to more than 250 miles). You can occasionally see them when you are in a plane flying in the area. It occurs when the solar waves get stuck in the magnetic field making these color waves.

The Sun

The Sun accounts for 99.86% of the mass in the solar system. It has a mass of around 330,000 times that of the Earth. It is three quarters hydrogen and most of its remaining mass is helium. In fact, over one million Earths could fit inside the Sun. If you were to fill a hollow Sun with spherical Earths, somewhere around 960,000 would fit inside. However, if you squashed those Earths to ensure there was no wasted space then you could fit 1,300,000 inside the Sun. The surface area of the Sun is 11,990 times that of the Earth.

Ms. Kahlie Graves Teacher

Ms. Beatriz Calvi Classroom Aide

One day the Sun will consume the Earth. The Sun will continue to burn for about 130 million years until it burns through all of its hydrogen. During this time, it will expand to such a size that it will engulf Mercury, Venus, and Earth. When it reaches this point, it will have become a red giant star.

The Sun

The Sun has a powerful magnetic field. When magnetic energy is released by the Sun during magnetic storms, solar flares occur, which we can see on Earth as sunspots. Sunspots are dark areas on the Sun’s surface caused by magnetic variations. The reason they appear dark is due to their temperature being much lower than surrounding areas.

Ms. Melissa Kassner Teacher

Ms. Carolina Cimino Classroom Aide

Eventually, after the Sun becomes a red giant star, it will be about the size of Earth. Once the Sun has completed its red giant phase, it will collapse. It’s huge mass will be retained, but it will have a volume similar to that of Earth. When that happens, it will be known as a white dwarf.

The Earth

Depending on where you are on the planet, there is a possibility that you could be spinning through space at 1,000 miles per hour. People on the Equator move the fastest since the Earth spins in it’s middle vertical axis, while someone standing on the poles would be still.

Ms. Esther Hwang Teacher

Ms. Ruth Paulino Classroom Aide

There is an estimation that there are about 6,000 lightning flashes around the planet every minute (that’s shocking!) and about 22,000 man made objects orbiting around planet Earth (satellites and waste). That’s a lot of stuff!

The Earth

Scientists now believe that we weren’t alone in our orbit around the Sun a long time ago. It orbited a planet we call Theia, which was the size of Mars. About 4.533 billion years ago, Theia crashed into our planet; most of Theia was absorbed and became part of our Earth, but a large piece of it blew off and combined with materials from our planet to create the Moon. They believe this because our Moon is uncommonly large for a planet of our size and it has metallic isotopes which are similar to those existent on Earth.

Classroom Aide

The Earth’s rotation is gradually slowing. This deceleration is happening almost imperceptibly, at approximately 17 milliseconds per hundred years, although the rate at which it occurs is not perfectly uniform. This has the effect of lengthening our days, but it happens so slowly that it could be as much as 140 million years before the length of a day will have increased to 25 hours.

Comets

Comets are produced in two places: the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud, The Kuiper Belt is a disk-shaped region past the orbit of Neptune, extending roughly from 30 to 50 AU from the Sun ( 93 million miles), containing many small icy bodies. Oort clouds are a vast cloud system at the outer reaches of the solar system . It is important to remember that comets aren’t spaceships. They are parts of solar system material that go back to the formation of the Sun and planets.

Ms. Angela Ortiz Teacher

Mr. David Garcia Classroom Aide

Comets have two tails: a dust tail, which is easy to see with our eyes and a ion tail, which is easy to see on high definition photographs, such as our phone’s but difficult to see with your eyes ( it doesn’t help if you wear glasses !!). The ion tail can stretch to almost 360 million miles ( Amazing, that is more than 10 laps around the Earth!).

A comet’s nucleus is made up of ice and its size can vary depending on the comet. The comet’s ice is not made up of only frozen water (like the ice that comes out of our refrigerator!!!). It also has super cold ammonia, carbon dioxide, dust, rocks, and other objects from the solar system!

Ms. Ruby Sheets Teacher

Ms. Vitória Paulino Classroom Aide

Comet

Comets only die when they crash into something big, exploding from being torn apart by the sun’s gravity, or when they lose volatile materials and become really small. They can also melt when in the hotter parts of the solar system, like a snowman melts in the summer.

Saturn

Saturn is the second biggest planet in our solar system. The day Saturday is named after Saturn, the Roman god (which would be Cronus in Greek). He was the God of time, agriculture, liberation, wealth, and generation. Saturday is the only day of the week that was named after a planet and a god. Saturn is known as the “Jewel of the solar system” because of its beautiful rings.

Ms. Sara Knox Teacher

Ms. Tamires Dawel Classroom Aide

Its rings consist of ice, dust, and rock. Some parts of the ring are up to a kilometer across, and less than a kilometer thick. Other planets have rings as well. However, Saturn’s rings are the only ones that can be seen from Earth. All you need is a small telescope. Scientists believe that Saturn’s rings are asteroids attracted by its gravitational force which kept colliding into one another.

Compared to the Earth, Saturn rotates around the Sun very gently. A cycle on Saturn is more than 29 Earth years. Saturn rotates on its axis very quickly. A full rotation in Saturn is 10 hours and 14 minutes. It is hard to determine a full rotation because Saturn is a gas planet and there are no reliable places to see a full rotation. Scientists had to use Saturn’s magnetic fields to determine the duration of a whole day.

Ms. Serena Geddes Aguilar Teacher

Ms. Tamires Dawel Classroom Aide

Saturn

Saturn has 62 Moons and many have been discovered recently. Saturn’s most famous moon is Titan. It makes up nearly 96 percent of all mass orbiting Saturn. Scientists believe that Titan was formed when 2 moons collided. The debris caused by the collision formed Saturn’s rings. The moon Dione is believed to contain life because under its sheets of solid ice there is liquid water. Where there is water there could be life.

Flying Saucers

In 1878, the term “saucer” first came to use after John Martin claimed seeing a large, circular dark object “about the shape of a saucer” that looked like a balloon flying at a “wonderful speed.”. This report was then published in the Denison Daily News.

Ms. Allison Bragaglia Teacher

Mr. Vitor Souza Classroom Aide

There have been many discussions whether flying saucers actually exist. However, after scanning the skies for alien activity over years, UFO enthusiasts came to the conclusion that flying saucers might not even exist. This does not mean that there had been no flying saucer sightings before they came to this conclusion, because there had been many reports but no acceptable evidence to it. Interestingly enough, more than 40,000 Americans have already taken out insurance against being abducted by aliens.

The Bermuda Triangle is an area in the Atlantic Ocean within which unusual events occur. One popular explanation (among many) is that there is a secret undersea UFO base in the area and that there is something about the comings and goings of UFOs that is responsible for the destruction/disappearance of Earth’s ships and planes. The Bermuda Triangle is known as one of the most mysterious areas in the Atlantic Ocean, since many unusual events have occurred there.

Mr. John Morrison Teacher

Mr. Vitor Souza Classroom Aide

Flying Saucers

Sixty-eight percent of all UFO sightings are by men. In fact, the first Flying Saucer was seen by Arnold Kenneth), who was flying near Mount Rainer on June 24, 1947. Suddenly, he was flashed by a bright light. At first he thought it was another plane but the closest plane was too far away. Then again, there were flashing lights. He then went on to describe what he saw by saying that it was flying on a single, horizontal plane but weaving from side to side. He also added that the object did not seem to be piloted. However, the object remained undefined.

Space Rovers

Space rovers are robots that travel around planets and do research on those planets’ surfaces. They send pictures of these planets to the Earth and complete other missions such as collecting samples of elements on the surface of the planet. The most famous space rovers are Spirit, Curiosity and Opportunity. All of them are placed on Mars to do research there. Spirit and Opportunity were sent to Mars in 2004, Curiosity, in 2012.

Mr. Colin Weaver Teacher

Mr. Guilherme Furlan Classroom Aide

The space rover Opportunity was sent to Mars three weeks after the space rover Spirit was sent. The space rover Opportunity is also famous due to its twin like rover, Spirit. The rover goes into a power “sleep” mode when not in use. Opportunity stands 4.9 feet (1.5 meters) high, 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) wide, 5.2 feet

meters)

long, and weighs 400 lbs. (180 kilograms). The rover is solar-powered. Opportunity’s on-board computer uses a 20 MHz RAD6000 CPU with 128MB of DRAM, 3 MB of EEPROM, and 256 MB of flash memory.

Space Rovers

The Mars Spirit Rover is a computerized device operated by NASA, which was sent to conduct a scientific exploration on planet Mars. It first landed on the planet on January 4, 2004, three weeks before Opportunity Rover landed on the same planet. The space rover Spirit is equipped with a Panoramic Camera, two Black and White Hazcams, one Navigation Camera, and a Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometer. The Mars Spirit Rover’s primary surface mission was intended to last for 90 days. However, the mission lasted for 2,208 days. On August 11, 2007, the rover got the 2nd longest extension on the planet’s surface, with 1,282 additional days.

Curiosity is the most recent one from the famous 3 rovers and has lots of new technologies attached, including a laser attached that can vaporize anything. So, it can break small particles of rocks. It has 17 cameras that can take pictures as tiny as 12.5 microns. That’s smaller than the width of a human hair. Curiosity’s built-in nuclear power plant is capable of generating electricity for up to 14 years. While the Curiosity Rover was launched using a state-of-the-art rocket, it was lowered down to Mars’ surface using a tether attached to a parachute.

Asteroids

The astronomical union committee is responsible for naming asteroids. The first ever discovered asteroid was Ceres, in 1801 by Giuseppe Piazzi. This asteroid is now known as a dwarf planet. Nowadays humans have discovered and named over 6000,000 asteroids in our solar system.

Asteroids are made of leftover materials from the formation of planets. They are made of precious metals, water and more regular metals in their composition. Some asteroids are so big that they have their own moons.

Everyday, more than 100 tons of materials from asteroids fall towards the earth, most of them don’t make it to the surface of the earth, as they burn when they enter in our atmosphere. An asteroid about the size of a car falls into the earth atmosphere every year.

Aliens

Should I read that!? Gossip has spread on the internet that there is a Soviet Union Alien Encyclopedia. According to the son of a passed away Ukrainian worker, this encyclopedia, formerly owned by the Soviet Union Secret Service, contains more than 50 different alien species including their physical characteristics, the moment they visited Earth, and the spacial position of each of the species.

Who really built the pyramids!? Many have come to believe that aliens were actually the ones that built the Pyramid

Through the years, there have been countless conspiracy theories, but a new discovery has consolidated this idea. Inside one of the pyramids of Giza, 24 black-boxes were found, each in perfect shape. It is believed these boxes actually originated from aliens due to the incredible accuracy in the stone-cutting, which is not believed to have been made by pharaohs, but by aliens who left these stones behind for pharaohs and kings to appropriate as theirs.

Do UFOs really exist!? Early in July 1947, a UFO (unidentified flying object) crashed on a ranch in Roswell, New Mexico. Rancher W.W. “Mack” Brazel said that after a night of fierce thunderstorms, he and his son found strange metal pieces scattered across the property. Under one of the inspections of the site and the pieces, one of the investigators sent by two government officials, affirmed that he was not sure what it was, but knew it was part of an aircraft. Rumors were constantly spread about the mysterious alien originated aircraft, but the military tried to convince the media it was no more than a weather balloon.

Rockets

Rockets can travel at amazing speeds. The average rocket has to travel at 25,000 miles per hour or 7 miles per second to enter space. That might seem very fast but the Atlas V, which is the fastest rocket in the world, travels at a faster speed. It was able to travel at 47,000 miles per hour (75,639 km/h) after it was launched. In addition, a new Fusion rocket being produced by NASA could allow us to travel to Mars in 30 days. This rocket would not be powered by fuel but instead by nuclear power. The nuclei of two atoms would be pushed together creating a lot of energy and pushing the rocket.

Besides speed, there are some other impressive facts about rockets. For example, the sound that comes from a rocket launch is powerful enough to knock down a building that is nearby. One of the Nasa’s loudest rockets was the Saturn V. In order to absorb a lot of this sound that is produced by a rocket, a pool of water is put underneath the rocket before it is launched. This is why you see a lot of steam under a rocket when it launches as the water is being evaporated from the heat. In addition to sound, another impressive fact is the weight. The space shuttle weighs 165,000 pounds (74,824 kg) when it is without fuel.

There are new rockets and innovations made each year. Some are successful and others are not that successful. For example, the company SpaceX has created a rocket called the “Falcon 9” which has the ability to land and be reused. They are still testing the rockets but out of 14 attempts, eight rockets have landed successfully. So the “Falcon 9” is pretty successful. On the other hand, China created an international space station called “Tiangong 1” that was launched in 2011. It is expected to land in the second half of 2017 but since they don’t have control over the landing, the parts of the rocket that don’t burn up in Earth’s atmosphere will land anywhere on Earth.

Astronauts

What do astronauts eat? They eat things like brownies, meat, pasta, fruit and soft drinks. Vegetables and fruits must be consumed within two days after launch. Most of the fruits are dried. Any meat has to be heattreated to kill any bacteria that might spoil it. Certain foods such as bread are not allowed in space, since crumbs can be inhaled, get into someone’s eyes or damage equipment, so instead, they are given tortillas.

famous astronauts include: Neil Armstrong (1930 - 2012), the first person to walk on the Moon; Buzz Aldrin (1930 - ) was part of the Apollo 11 and was also the second person to walk on the Moon;

An astronaut’s outfit, also called spacesuits, are used whenever they have to leave their spacecraft. It is equipped with gear that protects them from extreme temperatures, from Sun radiation, and (of course) provides them air to breathe since there’s no oxygen in outer space. Sometimes the spacesuit is connected to the spacecraft so they won’t float away, and other times, the suit is equipped with small rockets that can be controlled by the astronaut.

A piece of advice for underclassmen: Make sure to follow your calendar not to miss important dates

Mom and Dad: Thanks for supporting me all these years. I know it is not easy and I love you for doing so. You made me into who I am today and taught me the values I strive to have today and I can’t thank you enough for doing so. Unfortunately, you will have to endure my daily presence for four more years :). Wolfpack: Gold. Everyone wishes to be part of a group that you identify with and enjoy. This is the one. You guys made good days into great days and the memories of the parties we went to, the group projects we did, and the conversations we had will always be something I will cherish and remember happily. I can’t count how many times I cried laughing during ‘arguments’ and random conversations we had. Despite living in different countries in the future, this group will never end. Raul: “Bicho Pau”. It only took a few weeks before I realized you were such an awesome dude. Even though you’re THE Borsa, you quickly turned into one of my best friends and strongest friendships. The moments of uncontrollable laughter during classes because of the smallest and most insignificant things shows what happens when two ‘kids’ become friends. Ivan: “Turtlz”. Best smile at Chapel and the most dedicated person I know. Beautiful and smart, what a combination! The sky’s the limit for normal people, you have no limit (Jungle… classic). Terrible at Fifa though. Joaquin: “Issa knife” Biggest sneaker head at Chapel. I will miss suffering in Chem HL with you and having mental breakdowns after the classes. TV Show master and song apprentice (some of your suggestions… bro). Curry > Lebron. Marcelo: Marcedeus, 21 Savage, you are one of the greatest people I know. You are both huggable and intimidating. Best hair at Chapel and magical eyes. You made boring classes into unforgettable classes. Stay in Brazil! (GV with Raul IN). Gustavo: “Squirrel boy”, what are the chances of ending up studying together in São Paulo after Curitiba? Friends since 4th Grade, you are someone that I will never forget and one of my best friends ever. I can’t wait for us to study together at college. I am sure this friendship will last a lifetime. Felipe: I know deep down you are “Palmeirense”. We’ve had unforgettable nights and moments and I know there are many more ahead of us. Robert: I will never forget the conversations we had with Marcerat, the sushiman. Nick: Niiick! One of the nicest and friendliest guys I know. You always have a smile in your face bro! Tuba/Ze: What a group of friends! Two of the coolest people I know and who, I am sure have a great future ahead of them. Thanks for telling me about Rick and Morty! Vini: The only “Botafoguense” I know. A bit of a hypocrite but a great guy nonetheless. I will miss your judgemental personality and arguments. Good luck in England. Luis/André: One of the cutest and most questionable friendships at Chapel. Thiago: Teitsgames. You’re one of the smartest people I know and if I ever see you winning a Nobel Prize in the future I will not be surprised. Vincent: Keep working out bro. I know you love Brazil, stop hating. Unforgettable leg move in Religion class. Julio: “Notha”. Economics master and gym enthusiast. Don’t forget to visit us in São Paulo! Gonz(th)alo: Good luck in Spain! Naoki: Naoooki! You’re a genius and you have a great future ahead of you man. Focus on your studies and not girls though... Class of 2017: Thanks for the unforgettable memories I had during these 2 years at Chapel. You guys made these couple of years great and I will certainly miss every single one of you after we graduate. These were definitely two of the best years of my life and the friendships I made here at Chapel I know will last a lifetime.

Mami: Gracias choferesa por todo, por ayudarme, por siempre tener una sonrisa, y por llevarme al cole todas las mañanas.

Como tú dices, ahora no me doy cuenta, pero en el futuro miraré hacia atrás y me daré cuenta de lo bueno que fue. Enrique & my second family, thanks for everything! Going to miss you, well, not a lot because I will spend more time in Miami than in Spain. Enrique, aka “fake brother”, hope you will remember the good times we had together. Going to miss hearing you shout “autobuus” and bothering you with Snapchat. Luis: Thanks for being an amazing friend, a friend that I can call family and that I can count on for everything. I have had such good memories with you: “Ba rii, to the right”, Sabrina’s prank... Julio: Mr. Takis! I know I can also call you family and count on you for everything! Hope we keep in touch, because definitely you are, and hopefully will be, one of my best friends. Thiago: The master of the Gods, thanks for all the memories.

Thanks for taking me out waterskiing and being such a good friend. Marcelo: Thanks for the awesome experiences that you let me be part of and for being one of my friends. Hope to see you soon. Raul: I don’t know what your undecided, yet clever mind will decide, but hope to study with you at IE after we graduate so you can continue joking around as you did in math class.

Best Chapel Memory: Mr. Morrison’s 5th grade Plans after Chapel: Do what I love

Endings aren’t nice but it was good enough that we had a happy middle and a very happy start. We learned that even the longest classes can be enjoyable, we learned that some things are temporary and that some things are forever, and we learned that any time of the day is a good time for pie. But most of all, I think we learned how to love each other despite all our differences; we’re all different and beautiful and unique and that’s what made everything worth it. We saw each other five days a week and sometimes we didn’t always know what was going on in each other’s lives but every single one of you made an impact in my life and I think that’s really great. Some of us have impacted each other’s lives in ways that we can’t even imagine. You all made my Mondays better. We made it all the way through, together. Now all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. Let’s aspire to be so great to the point where we don’t have to introduce ourselves anymore. Let’s just keep swimming, it’s been great.

Moa: Momo, my Chapel years wouldn’t be the same without you. Even if you were not here with me this past year, I am eternally grateful for our friendship. No matter how long it’s been since we last saw each other, we have a connection that is beyond simple human comprehension. It involves heart, because you carry a part of me and I carry a part of you. It’s hard to put it into words just how much you mean to me, because words will never be enough. I know my life wouldn’t be the same without you.

Writing this to you is hard, because honestly, I’m scared to admit how truly sad I am to know this will be the end of school with you. It doesn’t matter where we are, we will always be there for each other, and I know that you will make a huge impact on those who meet you in the time to come. Gaby: Thank you for being the person you are and just like you said, we are living proof that over the years, these friendships only get stronger. “We already had several nicknames, but none really stuck, because our nickname is best friend.” Carol: Junjajei, thank you for always being there for me and for not judging my poor decision making skills. I’m so thankful to have a friend like you in my life that I can trust and relate so much. I’m glad you are staying here with me, so there will be many more sleepovers, dinners and pool nights for us.

Family: Vocês são minha vida, meus melhores amigos, minha inspiração, vocês são tudo e um pouco mais e por isso não há palavras para explicar o quanto eu amo vocês. Vocês me encorajam em todos os meus sonhos, me deram a melhor vida possível e eu sou grata por isso e prometo que algum dia eu vou conseguir retribuir todo esse amor que vocês me dão dia a dia. Ro, você é meu herói e sempre vai ser. Eu olho para você e vejo uma pessoa que cresceu tanto nos últimos anos e me incentivou a não desistir só porque algo é difícil. Então eu devo tudo a vocês e amo vocês incondicionalmente. Rebecca: I always tell you the story of how I remember when we met and that means something to me because I’ll never forget meeting such a wonderful person, with a big heart. I learn from you everyday on how to be a better person and for the past four years you have been a rock for me to lean on. The love and appreciation that I have for you will last because the memories that we created will never fade. I’ll miss you day after day and I’ll go visit wherever. Milena: Are there words to describe us? In the last four years, you’re the person that has grown the most; you grew to be confident in yourself and to open up your heart to people who deserve it. Trust me, whom ever you meet, you’ll change their life because you have a brilliant soul. Through our ups and our downs I have grown to love you and appreciate you so much. I don’t know how life will be without you by my side but I know that graduation isn’t the end, only a test and hey, we’re smart, we’ll ace the test. Love you miga! Georgia: I don’t have words to explain our friendship and that’s very rare. Where would I be without you? You light up my day and you make me laugh when I’m crying, cry when I’m laughing. I know that anyone who has you in their life is set because your friendship can overpower anything. There are too many memories to write and the class of 2014 is a good start but I can’t end it because after graduation I’ll still bother you every second of everyday. You are stuck with me and for that I love you! Luiza: The voice, I realized that we have so many nicknames because we have so many great memories together and for each memory a new name. You were one of my first friends here and I couldn’t thank you enough, I’ll never forget our long walks at parties, walking around the hallways in the morning and having lunch with Alex calling random people. Love you Chica Amiga and I’ll miss you so much. Malu: Marilu! I am happy to say that in 6 months I have gotten to know you well, you’re very talented and I hope it will be recognized by the world some day. Thanks for memories that will last a lifetime! Rafa: You’re one of the funniest and strongest people I know. I’ll always remember our strange conversations at the lunch table and your hilarious posts on finsta. Thanks for all the memories. Gonzalo: Bocab! I can’t think of a moment when I was with you that it wasn’t pure laughter. I will miss you and your fights in three languages. Raul: For the last two years, you have annoyed me everyday in math class but they were the funniest conversations, so thanks. Paulina: You became a friend so quickly and you’re someone I always depended on and even though we didn’t have class together for the past 2 years when we talk again it’s as if nothing changed and I love you for that! Marina: Mari, you’re hilarious, there isn’t one comment from you that doesn’t make me laugh. Thanks for making me smile everyday! Joaquin: Your loud personality is appreciated because it made classes a lot more fun and hey, I think you are growing out of being semi-smart. Mafe: Twin, I can’t think of anyone else to share a birthday with. I’ll never forget our planning for birthdays and our conversations about boy issues. I know you have a bright future ahead!

Mãe e Pai: Obrigado por tudo que vocês fizeram por mim. Desde o começo sempre me apoiaram e buscaram me entender. Mãe, obrigado por me ensinar tudo, desde as coisas mais simples como andar de bicicleta, até as coisas mais complicadas como arrumar meu quarto (kkkk). Você sabe que sem você eu não seria nada. Pai, obrigado pelos ensinamentos que vou carregar no peito pelo resto da vida e por ser meu maior exemplo. Amo muito vocês e espero um dia poder chegar perto de retribuir tudo que fizeram por mim.

Ju: Neglecting that your sibling is right is almost a hobby, and the pride of proving them wrong, is the greatest, but with all jokes aside, I would like to thank you for always being there for me. We always understand each other the most, no matter what. We are brothers, and don’t really express our feelings for each other in words, because it’s a feeling that is just there and we kind of ignore it most of the time. You know I love you, and I hope that as the years go by we will always be there for each other.

Bebella: As I write this, I still do not know what the future holds for us, but then again, no one can ever predict the future no matter what. As it is now, we seem to be going in two different directions but no matter how split apart our paths take us, I am sure it will all end up on the same road. Leaving my life behind in a different city suddenly became so much easier having you by my side. Never doubt how special you always were to me or everything I say I feel for you.

Tuba: Thank you for always understanding me. We have had many funny moments and I hope there are many more to come.

Zé: You made bio so much easier than what it would be. Not academically because we both basically failed, but it was still a good time.

Vini: Sometimes it is easier to just say you’re right instead of keeping a completely unnecessary discussion going. Your immediate reactions to things are always the best.

Leo: You left Chapel when I entered, but you still have always been around. I am excited to see where you will get to. Nick: We grew close this year, and we have had many funny moments, hope we keep chilling and doing stuff together.

Thiago: Mlk dos gameplay, you always find a funny side to anything and I like having your friendship.

Marcelo: Marcemafia, I always like messing with you, and being around you in general, hopefully we won’t lose touch.

Allan: Since 4th grade you have been one of my best friends, and I hope our friendship lasts a lifetime. Maybe if you train hard enough you can beat me in FIFA.

Raul: You are the best goalie I have played with, and I hope you eventually go after a future in football.

Ivan: You are one of a kind, always hearing complaints from everyone for no reason and still having the Ivan smile on your face, as well as the will to make events in your house/plan nights with the class. Felipe: Your intelligence in Portuguese and insights are out of this world, you have a bright future.

Robert: We have some dumb arguments sometimes, but I always enjoy making fun of anything with you simply for your constant good mood and zoeira.

Julio: You’re a good friend to have in Bio, and I like how you laugh at literally everything.

Vincent: I wish I had seen you more in events outside of school, but other than that, I think you are very creative in art and have a very unique personality.

Naoki: You saved me a couple of times in Chem. By couple I mean a few hundred. Hope after you go back to Japan, you come back to visit one day.

Luis: For some reason I always end up saying random things to you at parties. Thanks for listening.

Joaquin: We didn’t talk too much, but we did get suspended around the same time. Hope you go far.

Gonzalo: You’re funny to watch. Although we didn’t talk too much, you’re always around.

Mommy: Momma love, I know this sounds cliché but you are the most important person in my life for endless reasons. If it weren’t for your diligence I would never be graduating from one of the best schools Brazil has to offer. I definitely haven’t thanked you enough for single handedly providing me with the strongest education possible while at the same time pushing me to be more independent, smart and just a better person in general. You hide it well but it has been a struggle to guide your three “dragons” (I had to add some sort of Game of Thrones reference) but I think you’ll be content to know that we are all headed towards a bright future that will probably end with a beach house in either Dana Point or Laguna Niguel. I’m going to miss the simplest of things such as waking up to your “good morning baby”, not getting the joke but laughing at your hilarious laugh, having our Rocky moments, your constant perfect smile and of course your yummy cooking. Thank you again for being such an amazing mother, friend, role model and teacher, I couldn’t and wouldn’t want to have done this without you. I love you. Lala: I feel like you are one of the few people who actually understands my crazy personality. You know when to push me hard enough so I do whatever I have to do without going overboard. You know I’ll hesitate at first but instead of giving up you keep going until I eventually give in. I hope you know that not everyone can do that. I consider you such a strong role model that I now know I have to leave my stubbornness aside in order to succeed like my big sis. Thank you for supporting me and being an inspiration throughout these crazy high school years. Love you so much; I don’t know what I would do without you. We’ll be seeing much more of each other this year so get ready. Dan: I wish I were as open minded and optimistic as you are. Even though all we do is joke around when we’re together I have learned a lot from you. The deep conversations we have, whether it is walking on the pier or watching the sunset while having Sushi, have made me realize that I should live in the present and not dwell in the past. Your optimism brings joy to everyone around and I don’t know what I would do without it. Also, your minimalism amazes me since all you need is your surfboard and the ocean to be happy; I hope to find a passion as strong as yours. Love you so much and can’t wait for our future sunset hunts. Brilhas: If it weren’t for you girls, my three years of high school would be extremely boring. Raf, the first person who talked to me at school. Lu, my best friend by second period. Momo, my favorite partner in crime. Brun, always there regardless the situation. Mabel, the one who taught me to let loose. Mafs, keeps me going when things are tough. Geo, always keeps sertanejo alive. Carol, I had the pleasure of taking you to Narnia. I love each and every one of you and I don’t know how I would survive in São Paulo without you. This is just the beginning. La familia ideal: Ivan, Vini, Lipe, Lu and Raul, my little family. You have been with me since day one. We have gone through some crazy mood swings but still made it work and had fun doing it. Ps. Don’t think you beat me at the basketball game, estoy entrenando. Vini and Ma: It might not seem like it but you two have made a huge difference throughout my Trojan years.

I’m going to miss your silly jokes and caring hugs. Teachers: Thank you for guiding me through this minefield we call high school. Mr. Rombaut, Mr. Murphy and Mrs. Paladini: I really appreciate your support and all you have done for me. I’ll miss you.

Mãe: Eu sou horrível com isso e foi difícil encontrar as palavras que consigam descrever o que eu sempre senti por você, mas as palavras mais próximas que eu achei são: admiração e gratidão. Muito obrigado por sempre buscar o melhor de mim e por me fazer quem eu sou e por me ensinar valores e princípios que eu vou levar para o resto da minha vida. Te amo com todo o meu coração, madre. Papai: Muitas vezes as pessoas me confundem com você, e isso é referente à como eu me dou bem com você. Mesmo morando longe, você foi sempre mais que um pai para mim, e ainda por cima um melhor amigo. Quero te agradecer por criar o homem que sou hoje, e por sempre saber me botar na linha. Te amo, pai. Pedro: Talvez uma das pessoas que mais respeito e costumo ouvir, que sempre busca me ajudar em minhas decisões. Algumas vezes assumiu o papel de pai dentro de casa, e tenho que te agradecer muito por isso. Te amo Pedrão, conta comigo pra sempre. Sabrina e Gigi: As mulheres que completaram a minha vida e trouxeram a maior felicidade na vida do meu pai e na minha. Não posso pedir por uma melhor madrasta e irmã. Muito obrigado por tudo, vocês são demais, amo vocês. Fratelli: Irmãos da alma, vocês são incríveis! Muita história pra contar sendo em Campos, na Baleia, ou no Rio. Com certeza passei os melhores momentos da minha vida junto com vocês. Agradeço a tudo e espero levá-los pelo resto da minha vida. Essa amizade não vai acabar aqui, estando em Londres ou não, vocês vão continuar sendo meus irmãos pra sempre. É NOIS, SEUS LOUCOS! Rachel B: It was easy to fall in love with you. Even though we have almost all opposite characteristics, I felt that you were unique and special. I cherish every second that I was by your side, and certainly was one of the best months of my life. Love you.Vitor T: Never understood how you can finesse every single thing you do into perfection, even in the most intense moments. Never forget #episodioAfrica! Te quiero, big bro. Varsity Soccer: Words can’t describe the privilege and honor that it was to be captain of the most amazing group of players. You guys taught me valuable lessons by trying to motivate and praise every individual in its own specific manner. Playing soccer wouldn’t be the same for me if you guys weren’t by my side every game. Sorry if I failed at anytime. Thanks for everything, família. Varsity Basketball: UNDERRATEDS! Thanks for everything. Só isso, abraços. Class of 2017: Wanted to write specifically to everyone of you guys, because each one of you where very important in my life.

I am still grateful to know every single one of you for all of this time. In every advice, you were there to help me out. Or even having to travel back to SP from Guaru with me feeling sick (Giu, Pa e Fe). Please don’t ever forget me, I want to see you guys in 20 years and laugh at the same stupid jokes.

A piece of advice for underclassmen: Don’t let your grades discourage you. After you graduate you’ll see that grades aren’t as important as other things

Mom: 谢谢你这三个字不能表达我这么多年以来的感受。 我最大的幸运是出 生在这个家庭里，你是我最敬佩和尊敬的榜样。

你很坚强，和勤奋!你不只 是一个母亲，你是我最好的朋友!

非常感谢你的努力，让我变成我最好的版 本。因为你在这个家庭里无怨无悔的付出让我感到非常温暖。爱你！Dad: 尽 管我们思想上有差异，我深知你总是想要最好的我。 因此，希望我们可以有 个好的开始，让我们彼此尊重更多一些。我爱你!

Camels: “Notha, miga, why are we so bad in Portuguese?” I know that I can always count on you because you give the most invaluable advices. You are like a big sister to me! No matter the distance that sets us apart, we will meet again very very soon. It’ll be just like old times. Love ya! Miih: I don’t even know where to start! All these years, all I can say is that you made my experience at Chapel so much more exciting and valuable. I can’t thank you enough for being such a supportive, admirable, dedicated friend to whom I can go to no matter whether I’m struggling with school or if I need someone to talk to. You are one of a kind that you only find once in a lifetime. Thank you for being a sister that I never had and a best friend for life! Geo: I admire your ability to being optimistic 24/7. When I’m feeling down, I know I can come to you for a boost of happiness. You’re always acting so inappropriately during serious moments, talking about boys (Christian and the R’s), going through embarrassing moments, and gossiping about past seniors! For that, I’m grateful to have you as a friend! Paulina: As I think of this final stage of high school with you, I get so sad because we had so many incredible moments together! You are the person I go to when I want to talk for hours and hours because you are never tired of me! Your “transitalmente” vocabulary never ceases to surprise me! I’ll miss going to sushi with you, my favorite latina! Love ya! Marilu: I loved getting to know you well this year! Hope for all the success for you in England! Dani: Mii chica, you are the craziest and wildest person ever, and I love it! I’m going to miss so much your old person´s laugh that you let out in the middle of class! Domi: Amandaa, dominisculus, my partner in crime! I hope that getting in trouble with you all the time won’t be the last memory we share together. My Chapel memories (gummy bear, singing on your computer going to your house after practice) wouldn’t be the same without having you in them. I wish all the best for you in Boston! Mafe: It is not easy for a friendship of 14 years to last so long! All these years of unforgettable memories we had since Pre-I still isn’t enough time for me to show how much I’m grateful to have you as a friend, or should I say, as my first best friend here at Chapel. You are kind and considerate to everyone yet so fragile on the inside. I’ll never forget when you introduced me to the life-changing “pao frances” with nutella, and when we were “conchas” and butterflies in ballet. Marina: Chem partner,your facial expressions are the best when you don’t understand a new topic! <3 Luis: You are the most relentless and argumentative person ever, but your company was genuinely enjoyable! I don´t know what I´m going to miss more, our skype sessions that made me sleep very late, or our arguments. Gonthalo: Riiiii, Who´s going to play the guitar with me from now on? Thank you for being an amazing friend! Rafa,Lu,Lex: You guys are the definition of crazy! André: You’re one of the smartest blondes I know! Pink looks good on you. Vincent: You were always so funny and optimistic! Hope we meet again soon in Cali! Ivan,Nick,Thiago,Vincent,YuJu,Naoki: Thank you for making me laugh with your silly jokes in Math class! Ms.Gayle, Mrs.Chris: I have a tremendous respect for you because you made school less sufferable. Class of 2017: Thank you guys for making Chapel an experience like no other! May we celebrate our milestones, cross paths again in the future, and let a new chapter of our lives begin!

A piece of advice for underclassmen: You will have lots of things going on in your senior year, but don’t give up and just keep going. Cheer up and look forward to your life after graduation!

엄마&아빠: 처음 브라질에 도착했을 때 말도 안 통하고 새 학교에도 익숙하지

않아서 쩔쩔맸던 게 엊그제 같은데 벌써 졸업을 앞두고 있네요. 채플에서 여러 경험을 했지만 역시 두 분이 많이 격려해 주고 도와준 덕에 더 빨리 적응하고, 많은 것에 도전할 수 있었던 것 같아요.제가 마음고생도 많이 시켜 드린 것 같아 한없이 죄송하고, 쑥스러워서 평소에

지금 생각하면 부끄러워요. 반드시 엄마, 아빠의

Class of 2017: when I first came to Chapel, I did not know what was going on. I was not familiar with the language, school, and everything. It was all thanks to you that I could enjoy my school life.

A piece of advice for underclassmen: High School is a small part of your lives. Be you.

Shout-out one time to my barber for hooking me up with the sickest haircuts.

The Real OG’s (엄마 & 아버지) - Calvin when you read this, translate this to our parents. I got no korean keyboard and you know how Google Translator sucks.

Mother and Father, you both are truly like no other. I am blessed to have been disciplined and loved by you guys. That made me who I am today and made me stronger. I couldn’t have wished for a better discipline. I might not be the best with grades but your exceptional example of hard work and love is something I will carry with me forever.

Realest Homie (동생) - I won’t write for you because we are still going to keep in touch for the rest of our lives. I just want you to know that I always get you no matter what. Nick – One of the realest homies that I know. Truly humble, open-minded, and willing to stand your ground. You already know what time it is. Let’s get it.

Julio – The Best Sense of Humor goes to your dog. Our friendship is a whole another level. We’ve been through a lot together.

Naoki – I swear that War Thunder is not that good, dude. Among South Korea, Japan, and China, you already know who we are going to blame for anything.

Paulina – You are the definition of an independent woman.

Lipe – You’re hilarious. You can make people laugh in any situation. Probably even in a funeral. Keep that up and ignore those that call you childish.

Luis – Well, well, well. You already know what time it is. We are always trying to set trends, you know what it is. No Name Brand.

Ze – You are truly humble and open-minded. No wonder you and Nick are homies. Thiago – Pump? You got an ironic sense of humor that is amazing, dude. When people tell you that you´re immature ask them: “Ahhh, you want?” They know what’s up. Joaquin – Probably got one of the best tastes in music but the worst when it comes to Jordans. You and Allan are the only ones that know what sneakers are. Allan – You’ve joined us recently but everyone loves you because you got that chill vibe.

Raul – You are the one that looks beyond and tries to make moves. The one that actually is interested in finance and life beyond college. That’s true ambition.

Ivan – People call you try hard but I get you. True respect for what you have done and your principles. Your diesel shoes are awesome dude. Honest.

A piece of advice for underclassmen: Don’t stress to much about IB. It’s easy and not a big difference in your house.

Pai/Mãe: Não sei nem direito o que falar! Sendo a decisão ficar no Brasil, estudar fora, o que seja, vocês sempre estavam lá por mim. Eu não entraria na Chapel, não chegaria onde estou agora, e nem seria o que eu sou! Sempre me inspiraram, sempre me fizeram melhor e não sei como falar o quanto amo ter vocês, e como tenho sorte de ter vocês como pais. Amo muito vocês, e ficando no Brasil ou não, sempre vou querer vocês por perto. Tata: Tenho sempre saudades, e queria que pudesse ficar mais tempo aqui. Espera que um dia você chega perto de ganhar de mim no Guitar Hero! Sdouds: Eta, we still are the best couple at Chapel, and I’m sure after Chapel too. Duds, Lus, Sdouds, the Pumpkin, ou só Luis mesmo, you are fat but I still like you a bit. I am the best person in the world to make you laugh, and you know that. Maybe one day I we will write a book teaching people how to do so. Teits: I would be more of your friend if if you were buff, so that is why I don’t like you so much. Still, I’m pretty sure we didn’t pass a single day without laughing, or having deep talks about anything. Vans o Negro: Probably the slowest and worst math partner and learner, which constantly seeks refuge on my knowledge. Still, we are the funniest math hl class ever of Chapel. Cora: One day I can still teach you how to speak Spanish. I don’t think I ever had such deep talks with anyone as I had with you. It doesn’t really matter where you are, we will always talk, and I will always be here for you. JuliaCamelo: One day I can still teach you how to cook, specially my Siciliano Lemon Risotto with Prosciutto de Parma (fancy I know (my English too)). #teammurilao #istillbelieve Marcereja: The backpack. Mafe: Always the deepest talks and the most truthful talks that always made us laugh from the problems we had and simple things that happened to us. Paola: The greatest and biggest and most malinha I ever met in my life. Maybe a liiitle bipolar, a liiitle stressed né, but maybe I still kind of like you. Fefe: Second best wakeboarder in Chapel, after me of course. I am still waiting on that rolezinho to andar de wake, and also from that boat that you promised. #cenoura Isa: “Best” Mad Scientist Club partner, where your constant and innumerable ideas for experiments always made the club fun, and flow like a boat. I know I always beat you academically, but it’s fine, I have let you win sometimes. I’m still not sure how I am going to pass in college without you revising my English texts. You are a friend that I will take after Chapel, and for sure forever. Malu: You seem quiet, but I like you a lot. Plus, I always know how to make you laugh. Roberin: We played poker with Latino (Festa no Ape). @Luffig: The best wakesurfer at Chapel, but still needs to learn how to do a Quadratrick. Nick: I still laugh with all the memories we had, be it in Rio for volleyball, Ilhabela with the Torukmakto, or our amazing Christmas bazaar performance. Marina: Best partner for presentations, but still needs to learn with me how to get tanned. Lams: Best “fazedora de carinhos” on Chapel ever. Gonza: I wish I could be as lucky with girls as you are.#sabs Resto da Galerinha of 2017: There is no one in this Grade I actually don’t like, and I wish everyone the best in their own lives!

Sei que tiveram que fazer inúmeros sacrifícios para que eu pudesse obter sucesso em minha vida escolar, fato que sempre me motivou a tentar o meu melhor em cada situação. Não sei como e nem se é possível retribuir tudo que fizeram por mim, mas sei que vou dar meu máximo durante todas as etapas da minha vida para fazê-los orgulhosos. Obrigado por acreditarem em mim desde o início e nunca desistirem nem nos momentos mais difíceis. Amo muito vocês!

Tutu: Com várias brigas e discussões, talvez não fique claro o quanto amo você. Aproveite essa oportunidade que o papai e a mamãe nos deram de estudar na Chapel e faça uso disso para que você possa construir um futuro brilhante. Nossos caminhos podem divergir em breve, com eu indo à faculdade fora do país. Saiba que mesmo longe de você, eu estarei aqui para tudo que você precisar e que pode contar comigo para toda sua vida.

I really hope to continue these friendships after graduation and take them for life. I love you all and will never forget all adventures we lived together, brothers. Ivan: Turtlz or mamão, which ever fits you best at a certain moment. Despite some fights over dumb things, I think our friendship prevailed. Not even your determination could help you out of the 0, and I don’t think that will change, ever. Allan: The great Borsa, strong as a chicken. You evoke the inner dumb person in me, maybe because I want to copy you. Although not knowing you for long, it seems as if we always knew each other for a long time. Awesome dumb moments with you that I will never forget, thank you for all the laughs during these 2 short years. Joaquin: Did not like you at first, but you turned out to be one of my best friends which I will always remember. Despite you caring more for shoes than your friends, you were always there when I needed you. All those Math HW, we did not even take notes of, I remember all of them. Maybe I can teach you basketball one day boy! Marcelinho: The one and only MarceLindo. Since kids we are good friends and I hope this can go on forever. Sadly you don’t understand soccer because you support such a horrible team, but that is OK, you are still young and can learn. Awesome times spent with you, either on parties, Riviera, on the farm, and many other places. Lipe: Always making funny comments on class and making everyone laugh. Awesome time we spent together since we first met on 1st grade! Vini: Awesome memories with this awesome person. Great memories with your cousin too!

Mãe: Não existem limites pra descrever o quanto eu te agradeço por todas as oportunidades que tive na minha vida até hoje. A sua imensa dedicação, foco e determinação em sempre providenciar o melhor de tudo e todos pra mim é algo que nunca poderei te agradecer o suficiente. Apesar dos momentos difíceis e estressantes, foi você quem me ensinou a ser mais forte, competente e preparada para o futuro; algo que nem todos tiveram o privilégio de aprender com alguém tão especial assim. Foi a partir do seu amor e ensinamento que consegui chegar onde estou hoje. Obrigada por sempre estar aqui pra mim e saiba que sempre estarei aqui pra você. Te amo pra sempre. Papo: Se eu não consigo ficar um dia sem te falar “eu te amo” você acha mesmo que conseguiria demonstrar a minha gratidão nesse pequeno pedaço de papel? Saiba que ninguém no mundo irá me proporcionar tanto amor, carinho, orgulho, apoio, felicidade e centenas de outras maravilhosas emoções como você conseguiu em apenas uma pequena parte da minha vida. Foi me espelhando em seu incrível caráter e personalidade que fui capaz de crescer e me transformar na pessoa que sou hoje; e por isso sou eternamente grata a você. Obrigada por todas as oportunidades, conquistas e momentos que construímos juntos; tenho certeza que só foram tão especiais, pois você estava ao meu lado o tempo todo.

Rebecca: Xau, you’re certainly that one person that came into my life and left footprints in my heart forever. Thank you for being there for me when no one else was, for making me laugh hysterically everyday, for giving me the most honest advice, but specially for being you! I rarely make any promises but I promise you this is not goodbye; after all, we still have a lot of countries to travel to together yeah?!

Georgia: Well, while I can’t say we’ve been friends forever I can assure you that our memories together will be remembered for that long! Geo, I will immensely miss your friendship, our talks, laughs, and your constant bluntness. I am certain that wherever you go you’ll find happiness and enchant people with your amazing personality. Know that I’ll always be here for you no matter what. Keep in touch and come visit me soon! Malu: One day you were just another girl in my class and suddenly you were the one I was constantly leaning on. Ma, I wish you the very best in whatever you have planned ahead of you. You were the one person in my life that made me laugh a little louder, smile a little bigger and live just a little better and I hope I gave you the same. Domi: Pinsky, I wish you all of the best in the US! I’ll miss your constant complains, jokes and teasing about everything I do. Keep in touch! Mafe: I’ll miss our long talks by that special bench! Thank you for those precious advices! I’ll miss you Mafs. Dani and Pauli: My favorite Mexicans! Thank you for making my world much brighter and full of amazing moments. I’ll miss you girls! Luiza and Marina: Poposta and my best chemistry partner! I’ll be seeing you constantly around here so be aware that this is not our goodbye. Looking forward to more amazing moments together! Joaquin, Gonza, Allan, and Ivan: I wish you the very best in everything. Thank you for being amazing friends! Class of 17: We finally made it!

MARCELO COUSO NAJM

La Famiglia: Pai e Mãe, eu não tenho palavras suficientes para descrever o quanto eu agradeço a ajuda de vocês em todos os momentos desta minha trajetória de 15 anos na Chapel. Vocês foram a minha inspiração e o único motivo pelo qual eu sou quem eu sou hoje. Gostaria de ter mais palavras para demonstrar o meu agradecimento, mas a única coisa que eu posso fazer agora é abraçar vocês e saber que posso contar sempre com a ajuda e o amor de vocês. Amo vocês mais que tudo nesse mundo e espero um dia poder retribuir tudo que vocês já me deram.

Fratelli: Irmãs mais do que queridas, ter vocês como irmãs é algo surreal. Literalmente não tem como expressar nosso amor e o quanto vocês são importantes para mim. O exemplo de vocês foi uma das melhores coisas que eu podia ter, principalmente pelo fato de ver vocês hoje tão bem sucedidas na vida de trabalho e social. Isso faz com que eu busque não somente chegar ao nível de vocês, mas sim passar e poder mostrar o quanto eu sou capaz. Amo vocês com todo meu coração MIN. Couso Squad: Cousins eu amo vocês demais. Gu C. Primo você vai ser sempre aquele cara que eu posso olhar pra cima e ver a sua determinação como inspiração. Sua companhia assim como a dos seus irmãos é algo que não tem como discutir. Vocês sabem como me alegrar de um modo que ninguém consegue, simplesmente me tirar do zero e levantar minha cabeça para me divertir.

Dani: O grande mestre sagaz, sendo o primo homem mais velho, sempre te vi como o cara que eu pude olhar para cima e ter como exemplo. Horas e horas jogando videogame com você foram horas que realmente mudaram a minha vida, e assim crescendo uma amizade entre nós que não sei como estaria se não fosse essas horas. Continue sendo esse cara que ama todos e tem essa simpatia natural que filho, você vai longe.

Gabi: Bebê Couso por último. CUZ cobra você sem dúvida foi a pessoa com quem nos últimos anos eu consegui me conectar de uma maneira que não consegui conectar com nenhum outro primo. Você, de todos os primos, é a pessoa para a qual eu tenho menos palavras para escrever e também a que sabe de verdade o quanto eu amo principalmente por todos os momentos na escola e fora da escola que passamos juntos. Juro que te amo muito.

Thiaguera: Of course I had to write to my best friend first. Man you were one of the few people that spent their whole high school with me always supporting me in every moment. Words are useless when talking about our friendship. Hope our friendship lasts for a lifetime.

WolfPack: Ivan turtlz demais...kkkkk guys never had a better time than with you guys. All the memes and the jokes but I can certainly say that this group will last for a life time, except if Raul the Snake breaks the squad in half.

Lil Jesus Squad: Fam thank you for all the sushi nights and the nights we spent in my house hunting mosquitos and all these other stuff. There aren’t enough words to describe how much you guys are important to me.

Mlks: You guys are the essential for all the trouble we go into, especially for the things we shared with each other. Not writing to each and everyone of you individually but let you guys know that I thank you for all the good moments all the jokes and all the IB suffering we had together.

Girls: Thanks for causando a lot with all the polemicas. Not writing for each and every single one of you but I would still like to let you all know that I thank you for all the moments that either made me laugh or made me cry because of so much drama. But thank you all for these moments that I will cherish through eternity.

As Amigas: JESUS, what a group! Thanks for all the moments since Pre-1 and making me laugh every single day. Wevers: Meus primos mais do que de consideração vocês fizeram o papel no qual pude me inspirar e ter vocês como imagem do que um dia eu gostaria de ser. Que tenhamos mais momentos de Palestra juntos pelo resto de nossas vidas. Muito obrigado.

A piece of advice for underclassmen: Don’t let other people tell you who you are. Be yourself and don’t be afraid to feel and think. Life is shorter than you can imagine so enjoy it. It costs 0$ to be a decent person, so give the best in you to people. Time heals wounds so don’t sweat the small stuff. Most importantly, question everything (in a healthy way). Information can be easily manipulated, so study, get smart and learn how to interpret and filter it. It’s ok to not know something, but if you don’t know anything about it, then don’t pretend like you do. There’s already enough dumb people around, so if you’re not going to help solve the problem, at least don’t make it worse.

The fam: Even though it hurts to admit it, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you peeps. I love you all and it’s been a pleasure to keep the sanity inside our house way below bearable. Mawie and Ferbs: Luv ya so much. Thank you so much for being there for me even though I can get pretty annoying at times, for listening through my 3 hour physics lectures, and for putting up with my skepticism. Brown might think otherwise, but I trust you both with my life and we’ll always be the tight squad we are today. Telma, Head of the Empire: Eu sei que às vezes eu chamo você de chata, mas eu sei que você faz o que faz por amor e pelo meu bem. Obrigado por todo o carinho, por todas as brincadeiras, todas as palestras, e obrigado por sempre estar ao meu lado apesar das minhas chatices. Eu não seria nada sem você. Pai: Não consigo expressar o quanto eu sou agradecido por tudo que você batalhou e suou para me dar. Eu tenho o maior respeito e admiração por você e escuto com o maior carinho tudo que você tem pra falar, tudo menos “Mister Thiago” às 7 da manhã. T-bone: We weren’t always tight but I am so thankful that I got to know you better. I can’t even start counting how many times you’ve made me laugh so hard that I cried. You have the power to make school almost bearable. You’re one of those friends I can get stupid and silly with but still argue about the cosmos with. Thanks for being part of these amazing memories that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. Mafezitcha: Thank you for all of our “Altas seshs”. It made me grow and learn about my own life more than you would ever imagine. The world needs more kind-hearted people like you. I wish you the best Mafe and I hope that you can take a bit of our seshs onto your life and that it helps you whenever you need it.The Mighty Nock: Words bare not enough meaning to describe our jolly adventures that we have shared through the follicles of time. Cannot pinpoint whence our story begun, my brethren, but since then thou hast spread your soothsayer knowledge upon me. It’s from deep within that I thank you for all our memories and all our “brizas”. When thou finds thyself resting among thy chamber, wizened yet quenched with thy life, hope I your minds holds plenty of fine times with the old teits. With great love, señor. Bag: I’ve known you since I’ve known myself. Since we are little toddlers we’ve always been friends and I’m sure we always will. Can’t emphasize how good these years by your side have been through all “folias” but I know that our tale doesn’t end here. Independent of far we are we’ll always keep touch. Thank you for being always more than just a friend but a brother. Caz: Eta. At first we weren’t buddies but times have brought us together, luisito, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Putting into words how awesome these years have been with you is simply impossible, I’m just glad it happened. Thank you for making me laugh and for being there for me. I hope you carry these good memories in a special little place in your heart just as I’ll carry in mine.Ni: In a matter of a couple days you went from a complete stranger to the most important person in my life. Everything about being with you just felt so right and it felt like home. Independent of how hard I tried, words couldn’t express how much you mean to me and how much I love you. Thank you for being here for me, for taking care of me, and for being such an amazing person.

If you aren’t here, worry not, all of you have a special place in my heart and it’s been a pleasure to grow with you and call you my family. I hate that this feels like a goodbye, but our stories don’t end here. In case we turn this page in our lives and I’m not there anymore, farewell, thank you for everything and I wish you all a happy ending.

Todos lo morales, todas las lecciones que me han enseñado con amor y “palo” los voy a llevar conmigo por el resto de mi vida. Los amo mucho y quiero que sepan que todo lo que han hecho por mi estará en mi corazón por siempre. Osdauds: I can still remember the day you came up to me on my first day of school trying to make me laugh with your jokes translated to English that to me made no sense at all. Now here we are 5 years later, tighter than ever ;) and doing almost everything together. I’m going to miss your face and listening to your “piece of dabs” everyday. Love you osdauds.

Señor Teits: After all the girly advices you give me, I know I can trust you with almost anything in this world, you’re my santo, my best frand, and my tree buddy. *THOC* The memories we have had with “I like to wak-e-board” are things I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Goodluck with your life brau, wav u. Marcecuz: Hey man! Those desperate moments while we played League and Rust are ones that I will never forget, I don’t think I have ever laughed so much over being so bad at a game and you criticizing me with every move I make. Love you bro <3 Golia: I think it would be easier to say the time we haven’t been best friends, it would most certainly be much easier to count that way. Our memories together are countless, from the dumb voices we make when we talk to the weird pimple popping videos we watch for fun. “Ah yes”, leaving off without you by my side is really going to be hard, I’m not sure who I’m going to call at 4 am and who’s waking up voice I’m going to listen to when I can’t sleep. I love you Golia, know that. Base: Julio, don’t worry I will be coming back to your house to steal your food and point lasers at the people playing futsal. Hope you someday come back to visit me to play zombies with Romero again. Toby.Vanz: Casganeira! I will never forget that afternoon we started to “party” at your house and you showed me your secret paper airplane box, best and dumbest memory we have. Also, how could I ever forget our amazing handshake, 100 years could pass and I’ll still remember it, along with our joquempo funk’s.Gonthalo: I swear you are the person that most makes me laugh with all the comments you make about everything. You have helped me with so many things that there is no way I turn you back that favour with just a thank you. Just know I’m going to always be here for anything you need. Love you hermano. Isabella: Hey Bella! I know you just asked me for a “hi” on my senior page but I can’t just leave with only a “hi”, so I just wanted to say that our dinner was much better than your breakfast ;)Paolinha Fofinha: Oh girl. I sure will miss our every week McDonalds trips and our apple pies. Getting unfit with you is sure the best memory I will have of us. Fofinha, dont se apaixona for too many pedreds. Nipsky: I’m gonna miss you bromisnki.Box: I know you still may be mad at me for being such a terrible partner but I can say that my classes wouldn’t be the same without you :) I’m going to miss you!Ponsky: I don’t even know where to start with you, I’m just going to say that I will for sure miss all your rants about almost every living thing in this world. <3Baencent: Dude, art classes simply wouldn’t be the same without you, after all, we continue to show each other dope songs and waste our time like no one else. I am confident that our label with someday be well known.Bruna Swag: Day after day, I still continue to act like your Dad, giving you the right advice even though I know you will do the complete opposite I say. Completing apps, choosing instagram pics and entering random house party conversations as the mannequin challenge was the best with you. Love you Bru <3

Reflito sobre esse refrão todo tempo fora de casa, já que por mais simples que seja, é real. Amo vocês com cada pedaço do meu coração, e sou muito grato por tudo que me proporcionaram. Pelos complementos de amor de mãe, e pelas sábias advertências do pai, vocês me guiam a cada segundo, e lhes devo todo o carinho e agradecimento do mundo! Bebé: Nada como uma irmã mais velha, inteligente e experiente para me dar os melhores conselhos. Nega, fique sabendo que você é um modelo para mim, e ao ver suas conquistas diárias me inspiro a dar o melhor de mim e tentar ao menos chegar à metade do caminho de sucesso que você já chegou! Andrenildz/Thiaguinho: My math HL survivors, you’ve turned every single moment of attention into the funniest, laughing instants. You’re both truly loyal and authentic, and I know I can count on you both for anything in life. Always follow the William Rule! Luisito: Had a lot of fun with our childish moments and guitar playing/singing videos! And I think you’re the only one crazy enough to listen to my house secrets at noon while inebriate!

Allan: My English savior, FIFA partner and favorite “borsa”, I’ll miss every moment I had together with you! You’re still the biggest “turtlz”. Giules: Loved our talks, laughs and horror movie times. I still hope we can open our own bakery someday. Never change your perfume! Bella: The sweetest, kindest and caring friend I’ve ever had, thanks for all the laughs, the talks (more like outbursts) and partnering in school. You’ll always be in my heart and my doors will always be opened to anytime you would like to bake with me! Marinão: Had the best diet/junk food talks to! You’re really funny and genuine to a point I could easily tell all my fears, bothers and reliefs! Never give up on the “requeijão”. Paolita: The only one who compliments me on every single snap I send. You’re my best inspiration to make me contend with who I am. Continue being the tiniest, sweetest girl! Felipe/Vini/ Luiza/Alexa: “La familia Ideal” since the first Spanish class, which came to be the most satisfying class with you by my side. “Somos el fuego que arde tu piel!”. Julito: Loved our late nights playing UFC, you really turned my boring times at home into the most low-key amusing hours. Don’t worry, I’ll keep sending videos of my dad! Mafe: Sweet, sincere and delicate, I know we’ll be friends for ever, and nothing will ever stop me from showing you the best romance movies I’ve watched! Carol: You sure do have an incredible ability to make a trip to Narnia in only a few hours! Milena/Malu: Literally couldn’t survive TOK without you. Thankfully you’re both really patient and generous enough to give the best tips! Rafa: You’re always positive and good humored, I hope to see you on the many trips to Disney I take on the future! Gus/Tuba: Your awful raps will always entertain me when I most need them and when I definitely don’t! Zé: Keep stealing clay paste from school posters! Robert: It’s an HB20!

A piece of advice for underclassmen: “If you need inspiring words, don’t do it”- Elon Musk

Mami and Papi - I know I may be hard to handle from time to time (especially in the mornings), but deep inside, I can’t begin to express my gratitude towards you. I owe most of my accomplishments, wonderful moments, and happiness to you. Most importantly, you both have shaped who I am, and for that, I eternally thank you. Love you mami and papi, the two most awesome people in the world.Patrick - Well hello there Patrickman, I will miss invading your room and catching you playing videogames when mami and papi thought you were doing homework.

Don’t worry, I will never tell…For all my homies - I’m sorry for those I’ve left out, and I want you all to know that you guys are perfect. I adore every single one of you and I hope we will always be friends, and if not in contact, then bonded by our hearts and memories.Zigger - Ziggerman! I can count on you with my soul bro. I will cherish our moments together for the rest of my life. Truly, words can’t harness a description of the friendship we have, and I hope we can keep it for a long time. Thank you for always being there for me, as you can count on me for anything. I am extremely fond of our friendship Ziggerman, let’s always keep in touch.

Tuba - Never have I met a person with a heart as noble as yours. You have made me a better individual, and for that I am very grateful Tubers.Leo - You inspire me more than anyone else, and I’m very thankful I became your friend this past year. Keep rapping.Gus - You became a really, really, huge bro for me, and thank you for every experience we shared. I have and will always enjoy beating you at rap battles and chess. Teitsman (Thiago) - Well well well, if it isn’t Mr. Teits. I feel like we know each other so much, we might as well be brothers. I have had you beside me for ever since I can remember, on almost every single phase of my life, and I hope your generous soul and huge intellect never leaves my side. We will roam the universe in search of intelligent life one day señor.Felipe - LIPE, “caro estopim”, I will never forget our priceless nights at the parties causing mayhem.Raul - Raoline! We are friends since kids, and I hope we continue in Europe. When we come back for vacation, let’s make sure to visit Villa Mix and Lions with Julio.Roberinho - My beautiful Roberinho, I can’t help but think I would be so much different if it wasn’t for you. You have marked my life and will leave memories forever, and I can’t express how grateful I am to be your friend for all these years. I wouldn’t even be able to count how many days, nights, and trips we’ve spent together from São Paulo all the way to a small island in the Netherlands. Truly Ro, you have an everlasting spot in my heart.Vins - Oh gracious Vincent, your good moods always lift up my spirits and get me inspired to have crazy ideas. Continue being yourself bro. I hope you become the big-shot businessman you want to be, but always keep your style on.Steve Naok i- Oki oki oki, you crazy genious.Luisy - Luisy, you wonderful human.Julio - Julio first base, base, base, base, etc. Harvey Specter sue Taco Bell, take it over, and rule the universe with the power of the taco. I see greatness in you señor Julio, never surrender.Gonzalo - I hope one day you get married to Moa.Joaquin - Immanuel Teresópolis Pereira da Silva Timbs Ultraboost beast.Ivan - Macaco sagui do kroepoek dourado.Class of 2017 - Wow. I never thought I would miss you all so much, and yet I’m here just reminiscing of my relationship with every single one of you. Guys and girls, your memories are now officially engraved within me, building up from such a long time (my whole life), to which I cannot begin to verbalize my gratitude. Let us use these memories to improve our lives and the lives of others. Use this loving experience to improve the world, and take the next step into adulthood, for we are the next innovators of society.

“Playing for Chapel’s varsity girls basketball team was truly magical. It was an amazing experience. Although we took games and tournaments very seriously, there was always a lot of room for fun, laughs, and jokes which only brought us even closer together. Despite the tough moments we faced, as when one of our players lost her tooth, I can tell you for sure that we never gave up. I remember when we were losing to Graded by one point and in the last second, before the game came to an end, Dani Ueki shot and scored. In the VERY LAST SECOND! As I used to tell our team, “you never know how strong you are until being strong is your only option”. In our case, however, we know how strong we are and we know what we are capable of, and I can’t wait for next semester so as to show others what we can do.”

BIG 4 Champions!

“Softball is one of those sports where the practices and games are packed with hilarious trash talking, unexpected injuries, odd cheers, a whole lot of walking, and some sprinting. Above all else, it truly is a mental game. At BIG 4 we kept this in mind and were able to take home the gold after 10 long and stressful innings. If only I could end this with a Campbell quote. However, since this doesn’t seem particularly fitting, I’ll end the season with an excerpt from Hamilton: “Look them in the eye, aim no higher, summon all the courage you require, then count 1, 2, 3, 4”. Teamwork makes the dream work, softball out, see ya next year. Thanks Mr. Campbell, Mr. Vaughan, and Mr. Marcello.” - Anika Kapur

National Honor Society

Mission Statement:

In the National Honor Society we strive to fulfill the NHS four main pillars of Service, Character, Leadership and Scholarship. Aiming to work on issues of global value, inside and outside of school, we plan activities with the intent of bringing the school community together and projects which many times involve the collection of donations to charitable causes. Advised by Ms. Vompean, students met every Thursday morning from 7:00 to 7:50 a.m.. This school year the projects developed in NHS were: Green Week, Cistern built in the school in order to reduce water use for plants and trees around the school; Lecture on environmental art with Eduardo Srur, who devoted his entire life into making art in a public scale promoting the protection of the environment, Awareness week to promote better care with the environment, protecting the animals, plants and forests around the globe; and Worker’s breakfast - students prepared a meal for the Chapel worker’s as a thank you for all their hard work.

Throughout the year, the following students were active members of NHS: Gonzalo Alvares, Marina Giglio, Milena Mezei, Camila Oliani, André Matarazzo, Daniela Cortez, Isabella Martins, Ivan Rocha (President), Maria Fernanda Collado, Rebecca Hsiao, Thiago Bittar (Vice-President), Arthur Silveira, Beatriz Rede, Iqra Fátima, Daniella Ueki, Julia Pereira, Julia Schmitt, Maria Luiza Stokebrand, Rebecca Kummer, Julia Tolda, Rodrigo Silva, Laura Durazzo.

National Junior Honor Society

NJHS (National Junior Honor Society) is a globally known student-led organization that has the goal of serving the community. Through various charity projects, NJHS attends to the society always reaffirming its five main pillars: Character, Service, Leadership, Citizenship, and Scholarship. Since 2014, NJHS has been helping the Chapel Community and creating many activities to aid the school and the city of São Paulo. In this year’s edition, two projects were developed. The first one was the Santa Causa Project which helped the Santa Casa Hospital of São Paulo, a hospital in need which helps many patients each year. As their supplies were running low, NJHS decided to collect and donate toilet paper, paper towels, and adult diapers. We consider this project our most successful one, considering that we were able to gather hundreds of materials, visit the hospital and have a talk with its owner José Luiz Setúbal, who is also one of the heirs of Banco Itaú. In return, the hospital even sent us a letter thanking us for all donations. The second project was the annual Movie Night. The goal is to collect money that will be donated by next year’s NJHS group. It ensures entertainment for Chapel students who come to watch a movie with their friends and family in a delightful evening. To summarize, NJHS is always working in hopes of helping others and our society. This year has been incredible, and we wish all the best for the next chapter of NJHS.

This year we met on Tuesdays from 7:10 to 7:50, led by Mr. Padilha, with the following active members: Alexia Schpilberg, Anika Kapur, Carolina Cordeiro, Fernanda Lacombe, Helena Ribeiro, Isabella Gagliardi, Isabella O’keef, Juana Devoto, Luisa Tolda, Neil Kapur, Nicholas Ueki, Rafaela Oliveira, Rhea Kapur, Roberta Ramos, Rocio A.Ochoa, Rodrigo Luz, Willam Cho, Lydia Cunha, and Renan Cunha.

MUN and JMUN

MUN (Model United Nations) is a club in which each member gets a chance to impersonate a country and debate pressing global issues such as police brutality, GMOs, the Saudi Arabian oil crisis, etc. Using lobbying tactics, points of information, and amendments to draft a diplomatic resolution that also pushes their country’s agenda is a must whether he/she represents the United States, Brazil, North Korea, Russia, Canada, or the Marshall Islands. In ECOSOC, Security Council, UNHRC, DISEC, and INTERPOL, committee sessions where persuasive speakers, historical references, loud delegates, extreme right of replies, laughs, and frustration abound. This year, Chapel participated in three external conferences including SPMUN (hosted by Saint Paul’s), THIMUNLA (in Montevideo), and BraMUN (in Bahia).

High School Art

“The year of 2016 - 2017 brought great inspiration to the Art students at Chapel, and that was appreciated in each of our exhibitions!

The 7th graders showed compositions of São Paulo inspired by the works of Vik Muniz emphasizing sustainability and the use of alternative materials! The 8th graders learned about Cordell Literature and produced printmaking Cordell books and ceramic mobiles inspired by the works of Cesar Obeid. The 9th and 10th grades painted on canvasses showing great control of how to create value with acrylic paint as well as the 70 years of Chapel “Sarau Literario” decorations!!! The Brazilian Program as well as the IB Art students went to visit the Bienal of Arts “Incerteza Viva” and did great reflections on contemporary art! The IB Art students mesmerized everyone with an amazing Art Show putting in evidence the two years of hard work showing unique conceptual artworks.

In addition, we had one more Agenda Cover contest and students also had the Art Club available for a relaxing time and support for any project or as part of their CAS Program for IB on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:10 to 4:10 p.m.! Great work everyone!” - Ms Sylvia Almeida - Head of Fine Arts Department

Building Our Community

This year we continued to teach, practice, and assess behaviours that foster inclusive, safe, and responsible communities all day long: during all classes but also in special classes focused on community and citizenship:

Caring and Sharing in ECEC (Pre1- Kinder) - once a week ECEC students learn about CARES.

CARES Class in ES (1st - 5th) - Each Friday, mixed groups of Elementary students from 1st through 6th grades meet to learn and practice the CARES standards. This year, students learned about empathy and cooperation. The semester ended with CARES Choice, a program in which students chose a mini-course of their interest such as CSI Scient, Jr. Journalism, Photography, Dogs of Course, Cookie-monsters, etc.

CARES for LIfe in 6th grade - students learned about their development as teenagers Advisory Program (7th-12th) – Advisory is a 30-minute weekly “break” from high school students’ busy and demanding academic routine to reflect on their lives, personal actions, community needs, and cultural diversity.

CAS Program (11th and 12th) – CAS is an avenue for IB students to showcase who they are to the world. Through the Creativity, Activity, and Service Program, 11th and 12th graders engage in a variety of extracurricular activities and one personal project to showcase who they are to the world while contributing to our community! All the Sports, Clubs, Activities and Events from previous pages are a part of the CAS Program!

Education for Sustainable Development

In 2017, Chapel introduced EDS, a transdisciplinary program in High School, based on UNESCO’s goals for Sustainable Development. Our goal? Improve Chapel student’s awareness of the importance of sustainable development. This program from 7th-11th grade happened in February and March, involving activities in all subject areas, including investigation trips (WOC) to Paraty/Ubatuba (7th), PETAR (8th), Extrema (9th), and Brasília (10th and 11th). The project culminated with the production of documentaries of the trips and the discussion of the theme of sustainability, showcased to the whole community on March 16th.

“Sustainable Development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

Chapel School Outreach

Fourth grade students had a lovely time visiting the senior citizens at Casa Ondina Lobo. They sang Christmas songs, gave them cards made in class and interviewed them. It was a very touching moment for the elders and the students. Fourth grade students also interviewed Chapel staff from maintainance and kitchen. They were amazed by the work they do here at Chapel school making sure students, teachers and all the staff have an incredible learning community.

Fernanda Barbara

Fernanda, para nós sempre Fefê

Antes dos primeiros passos percebemos que ela já sabia muitas coisas, sempre quis se virar sozinha, sempre tomava a iniciativa. E assim foi crescendo, dominando o espaço ao seu redor e buscando sua autonomia. Esperamos que ao encerrar essa importante fase de sua vida, ela tenha consolidado todos os alicerces, todos os fundamentos e que possa evoluir numa carreira sólida, sempre com a personalidade característica da sua infância. Nós te amamos Mamis, Papis e Dritas

Rafaella Barboza

Eu e seu pai trabalhamos para construir a sua base. Aos poucos, você foi assumindo sua vida e tomando decisões. Desde sua opção pelo judô na maternal, quando eu achava que seria ballet, sua autonomia ao entrar sozinha na OLM, no 1º ano, e dispensar minha presença, até a vontade de ir estudar um oceano longe de casa. Torcemos para você fazer escolhas que te façam FELIZ. Li, do poeta Samus Heaney, esta frase que eu gostaria de ter criado para você. Mas acho que vale da mesma forma: “Se você vem de um mundo inicial forte e tem relações sólidas com um grupo, então em alguma parte de si mesmo você é sempre livre; pode andar pelo mundo porque sabe a que lugar pertence e que tem para onde voltar” . TA Lulu, Você me enche de orgulho. Te agradeço por ter me escolhido e vindo pousar em minha casa. Estamos prestes a encerrar este ciclo. Vou sentir falta de levá-la para a Chapel com o som do carro nas alturas e cantando junto com você. Você já começa o dia feliz e contente. Eu então, nem te conto. Sei que vais fazer o mesmo com a Charlotte, sua filha, minha neta. Assim a felicidade vai passando de mão em mão. TA

O tempo passou tão rápido mas nós ainda conseguimos lembrar sua determinação e garra para ser aceito nas primeiras seletivas para o time de

Querida Rafa, Estamos muitos orgulhosos e felizes por você ter completado essa fase da sua vida. Sabemos dos importantes obstáculos que a vida te apresentou e das inúmeras noites mal dormidas.

Sempre estivemos e estaremos ao seu lado. Obrigada por ser esta pessoa tão especial. Adoramos o seu lindo e contagiante sorriso. Aproveite muito essa nova fase. Um novo ambiente, novos amigos e professores. Sabemos que, com sua determinação e esforço, você vai longe. Te amamos, Izabella e Marcelo

Filho, estamos muito orgulhosos de você! Você cumpriu mais uma etapa na direção de um grande futuro. Desde que você tinha 3 meses de idade, passamos por diversas mudanças de país, de cidade, de casa e de escola e você sempre foi muito flexível para se adaptar às novas realidades. Você é um garoto forte, que quer fazer a diferença na vida e que se prepara para isso, se dedicando aos estudos e aos esportes.

No tengo dudas que triunfaras en los próximos desafíos, porque por encima de los objetivos intelectuales y profesionales estará siempre presente tu personalidad única y cautivante, lo que te llevara donde quieras. Felicitaciones y mucha suerte mi linda Fefe. Alfredo

Fefe: Nunca olvidare el primer día que te vi, en tu cuarto jugando solita, sentada en el piso, con carita triste y grandes ojos curiosos. Me inspiraste un torbellino de sentimientos,

amor, cariño, respeto, miedos, angustias, coraje. Todo eso tuve que trabajar con mi primera hija, quien me saco de mi propio ego para convertirme de repente en una mama de una hermosa nena de 5 años. Crecimos juntas en esta relación, maduramos y nos respetamos muchos porque ambas sabemos que el amor entre nosotros es verdadero. Deseo que Dios te conserve siempre esa bondad que tenes y que nadie y nada cambie tu persona. Solo con eso, tu futuro está asegurado escojas lo que escojas y estés donde estés. Carolina.

Hay un momento en nuestras vidas en que uno cree conocer y tenerlo todo, hasta que llegaste Tú y solo así comprendimos la palabra “Plenitud”. Quisiéramos protegerte de tantas cosas, y ahora que terminas este ciclo te abrimos la puerta y te decimos vive tu vida. Enfrenta desafíos, nunca te des por vencida, levanta la mirada y sigue adelante ante cualquier obstáculo. Ama mucho y se feliz. Eres distinta a lo que nos hubiéramos imaginado, pero eres “UNICA”, “ESPECIAL”, “FUERTE”, y mucho, mucho “MEJOR” a cualquier sueño. Estamos orgullosos de ti, has logrado ser esa persona valiosa, llena de virtudes, siempre siendo TU misma. Muchas Felicidades! por esta nueva etapa que comienza y sabemos sabrás vivir al máximo. Enorgullécete de tus logros, nunca pierdas la Fe en tus acciones. No olvides los valores y principios inculcados, busca sabiduría, se justa, se constante y fuerte; disfrutando cada paso que te lleve a él. Confía siempre en nosotros, siempre estaremos apoyándote. Te amamos y querremos siempre. Siempre estaremos a tu lado.

Oi Querido Filho Jose Guilherme(ZE GUI) Ficamos muito orgulhosos no homem que você esta se tornando. Você é uma rapaz muito sensível, inteligente, preocupado com as pessoas mais humildes, gosta de animais, tem sensibilidade para as artes, a música, e nós te admiramos muito por isso. Seja sempre um homem de caráter e com esse seu olhar firme de quem sabe o que quer vai te fazer ir mais longe. Você não se abre para muitas pessoas e nem faz questão de mostrar muito os seus pensamentos para qualquer um, pois escolhe bem as amizades e sabiamente não se expõe, mas os poucos que te conhecem sabem, do cara legal que você é e das suas muitas capacidades como ser humano que você faz questão de ser, com suas ideas e seus ideais. Em casa sempre disposto a ajudar quando pode, e sempre que precisam, você tem uma sabia palavra de ponderação que te juro não sei de onde você tira tanta calma e equlibrio. Te abençoamos muito filho nessa etapa da vida que agora se inicia e temos a certeza que na vida você será muito bem sucedido e equilibrado nas suas decisões. Nós, seus pais e irmãos, estaremos sempre aqui a te esperar e te amparar caso você precise. Amamos você com todo o coração e amor Papai , Mamae, Gio e Léo

My dearest darling daughter Alexa, you have come to the beginning of the next big chapter of your life and I am filled with pride and love. From the moment you were born you have brought beauty, joy and excitement to our lives. Your sweet smile and sharp mind always present, always refreshing, always inspiring. It is a pleasure to be your mommy and I cherish every moment we have experienced together. To be honest it will be very hard to be without my fashion advisor, my scary movie buddy, my brigadeiro maker and my baby girl here with me every day. At the same time I am immensely excited and happy for you because I know that you go forward to great new life and learning adventures. Just as your sister Laura and your Brother Daniel did, you go forward in life but not away from me. You are in my heart and I am yours in a way that mere distance cannot change. Move forward with a light heart and strong resolve my littlest bird and know that I will always be here for you.

Marina Giglio

Querida Marina:

É com imenso orgulho que escrevo esta mensagem de formatura para você. Por vários anos passamos por dificuldades, inseguranças, erros, acertos, vitórias e alegrias e, durante todos estes anos, talento, determinação e força de vontade marcaram seus anos de estudo na Chapel. Sua maior qualidade foi a de sempre acreditar na sua capacidade e habilidade de transformar a amargura de uma derrota na felicidade de uma vitória. Destemida, sempre buscando novos ideais, superou todas as barreiras que a vida te impôs. Você é uma pessoa maravilhosa, especial e merecedora como poucas, pois você lutou de forma guerreira, e cada

vez que caía, voltava a se levantar e lutar até conseguir o desejado. Você é um exemplo de determinação e coragem. Eu te desejo muito sucesso. Parabéns pela sua formatura. Com muito amor, Beijos de sua mãe.

Paulina Martinez Berumen

Nos enche de orgulho escrever está mensagem. Um novo ciclo na sua vida está começando; e obvio que o sentimento que você nos presenteia é de uma alegria infinita. Mas nós pais nestes momentos ficamos com sensações diversas de missão cumprida e orgulho, mas também de receios de como será sua próxima etapa. Mas no instante seguinte vem a tranquilidade, pois sabemos quem é o Vini. Vc é valente diante dos obstáculos, é incansável na busca das suas crenças, se reiventa diante das situações mais diversas da vida, e faz tudo isso com uma doçura admirável. Nos ensina todos os dias com suas atitudes que viver na plenitude é o que importa. Que ser e ter amigos é o que te alimenta. Que respeito é inegociável. Neste próximo ciclo da sua vida todas essas suas características serão suas aliadas; e temos convicção de que neste novo mundo, você também deixará sua marca. Estaremos SEMPRE ao seu lado para o que der e vier. Te amamos muito. Marise e Adyr

And now you’ve grown as a wonderful woman and are about to have your first step toward the world. You will have many paths ahead of you and sometimes have to make a difficult choice or be tested. But always keep in mind that you should choose the path with which you can be happy above all. I wish you to be a person who shines like the sun, filled with happiness.

Vincent Lee

고등학교 졸업을 축하하며.

나는 고등학교 모든 부모님들이 학교를 통해서 15년 동안 아이들을 잘 키웠다고 생각합니다.

우리의 첫 번째 단계는 좋은 땅을 찿는 중요한 선택이었습니다.

나는 중요한 조건의 정원에서 자라도록 CHAPEL 을 선택한것에 만족하며 마침내 CHAPEL 을 통해 미국이라는 새로운 대학을 만나게 됩니다.

몇번이나 어려움을 만났지만 그 시간들을 스스로 해결하며 인내로이 잘 자랐고.

가장 중요한 것을 놓치지 않았기에 오늘의 빛나는 날을 맞이합니다.

새로운 대학이라는 캠퍼스에서 인생에서 가장많은것과 .즐거움과.

행복의 시간이 되길 바라며 ....

졸업을 축하한다 내 아들 빈센트!! 18. 04. 2017.아버지가.

아들아!!

졸업을 축하한다.

어렵고 힘든 긴 시간들 뚜벅 뚜벅

É difícil resumir aqui tudo o que sinto e desejo pra você, afinal são tantas coisas… Vou começar te agradecendo por realizar o meu grande sonho, o de ser sua mãe (você sabe o quanto eu te quis). Agradeço-te também por todos os momentos que passamos juntas, os momentos felizes e divertidos, que foram tantos e inesquecíveis, assim como os tristes e difíceis que nos tornaram tão unidas. É maravilhoso ter você, minha filha, amiga, companheira e meu motivo de tanto orgulho. Te admiro em todos os sentidos, desde o seu jeitinho doce, meigo, simples e bondoso ate a sua forca, garra e capacidade de superação. Bom meu anjo, parabéns por essa grande conquista. Torço por você e estarei sempre ao seu lado, te apoiando em tudo o que te faça feliz.

Te amo muiiiito !!!!! Um beijo especial e um abraço bem apertado com todo o amor da sua, Mommy bear

Andre Matarazzo

Deco querido, meu ursinho eterno!! Menino doce, sabido, teimoso, lindo ainda mais por dentro. Meu príncipe! Um coração de ouro que agora completa um ciclo e começa a se desprender de nós. Tirou de letra o seu maior desafio na Chapel, o inglês, e soube aproveitar cada momento vivido na escola, contaminando a todos, amigos e professores, com sua doçura, com sua sensibilidade. Vive do lado tranquilo da vida e acaba nos ensinando isso a duras penas! Haja sangue frio pra acompanhar o seu ritmo!! Rsrsrss A vida é feita de ensinos e aprendizagens sempre, e acreditamos nessa importante troca de experiências. Nossas conversas diárias, suas gracinhas e palhaçadas, seu sossego eterno, suas contestações, suas teimosias, todas sempre ponderadas e abertas à escuta. Esperamos que você faça bom proveito de tudo o que

a gente conseguiu te ensinar e te oferecer. Você é um filho MUUUUUITO querido e amado, que queremos ver brilhar nas suas realizações, alcançar seus sonhos e ser feliz!! Continue a ser sempre essa pessoa maravilhosa, firme nas suas convicções, acreditando num mundo melhor, que certamente vai encontrá-lo!! Amamos você e estamos juntos para sempre!!!

Com amor, Mamãe, Papai e Tata

Georgia Matos

O que nasce do relacionamento de duas pessoas que se amam? O verdadeiro amor, e você, nosso primeiro grande amor. E que presente Deus poderia nos ter dado!!! Uma princesa sempre feliz, amorosa, de bem com a vida, organizada, companheira, um coração enorme, bondosa, sempre preocupada com todos, responsável, mas, claro que também um pouco teimosa e bravinha.

Filha exemplar, orgulho da família, primogênita de ambos os lados, exemplo para os primos, sempre compromissada com todos e agora cumprindo sua primeira grande etapa da vida. Fiel aos seus princípios e abençoada como é, certamente terá um caminho maravilhoso. Tenha sempre a certeza que estaremos sempre ao seu lado, com você em nossos corações todos os momentos da nossa vida. Muitas felicidades e nunca se esqueça de seus princípios, eles irão sempre te nortear nos momentos de dúvida. Deus te abençoe!!

Raul Mayer

Estamos muito orgulhosos de você. Uma etapa da sua vida concluída, e você, ainda tão jovem, já é obrigado a escolher qual carreira vai seguir. O importante é que essa escolha te faça feliz, pois facilitará em muito a sua realização profissional. Para que a sua escolha seja a mais correta possível, terá que ser muito determinado. Aquilo que você conhece pouco, tente aprimorar. Naquilo que já é forte, se fortaleça ainda mais. É muito importante que você acredite sempre no que estiver fazendo. O futuro ainda esta por ser escrito e a melhor notícia é, que somente você é quem pode escrever a sua história. Lembre-se que apesar da vida ser muito racional, nunca esqueça de ouvir o seu coração. Que Deus esteja junto de você nessa nova caminhada e lembre-se sempre que, se precisar de algo, é só avisar. Estaremos prontos a colaborar e te apoiar em suas decisões, pois estamos aqui para isso, como foi desde o início da sua caminhada no Pre I. Te amamos muito e o nosso maior desejo é muito simples, “QUE SEJA FELIZ”. Daqui para frente, a bola está com você. Torcemos que faça muitos gols.

Milena Mezei

Nossa querida filhota, Era uma noite de segunda-feira, há 18 anos. O ano de 1999. Uma noite como tantas outras... se não fosse uma noite especial. A cidade toda alagada; tudo parado. Menos você. Já então tinha pressa; tão pequenina e tão perfeita. Era a música viva, que tantas vezes cantamos, ”complicada e perfeitinha, você me apareceu, era tudo que eu queria...”. Foram milhares de dias e noites, que com você, foram tão especiais; vivemos, experimentamos, aprendemos e amamos. Tal qual aquela segunda-feira de 18 anos atrás, hoje mais uma vez, completando o High School, com dignidade, louvor, e muito esforço, você nos enche de orgulho e felicidade. Agora você se prepara para novos voos e conquistas, e nós desejamos que estes sejam repletos de realizações, felicidade e sucesso. Estaremos sempre torcendo, apoiando, aconselhando, e compartilhando o nosso eterno amor e admiração por ti. Que você seja muito feliz Mi. Parabéns por mais está conquista. Que venham muitas outras! Mil beijos, Mami e Papo.

Robert Nahas

Rô,

Quanto orgulho de você filho!

Você chegou em nossas vidas sem pressa e com tranquilidade. Foram 42 semanas de muita expectativa e emoção. O primeiro filho, neto e sobrinho. Pode imaginar quanto amor envolvido?! E para completar escolheu chegar na noite de Natal! Ainda nos emocionamos ao lembrar. De lá para cá muitas coisas aconteceram. Os primeiros passos, a ida a escola e assim seu caminho foi sendo trilhado. Nossa quanto você nos ensinou, muitas convicções desapareceram, reflexões e transformações aconteceram. Sua sinceridade, seu jeito objetivo

e sua conduta nos surpreendem a cada dia. Este é um ano especial. A despedida de um ciclo e o inicio de uma nova etapa. Todos esses anos na Chapel foram permeados com muita alegria, desafios, respeito e dedicação. Desejamos que na sua vida você continue sonhando, aproveitando cada momento e amando incondicionalmente. We love you.

Mamãe e Papai

Rô, Parabéns por mais essa fase concluída! Continue sendo persistente e focado. Aproveite essa nova etapa. É “nois”, te amo, Rick. Parabéns! Estou muito orgulhosa desse meu neto querido. Sucesso e sorte sempre! Te amo.

Ivan Negro Rocha

Vanvan, Vankok , Ivannnnnn: o que falar de um menino que veio roubar os nossos corações com um sorriso gigante e um humor impecável? O que falar do mesmo menino que antes de andar, já corria; que adorava escalar as prateleiras só pelo desafio; que era conhecido como ioio-Van, porque sempre voltava para a nossa cama; e das 22 vezes consecutivas que foi no Aerosmith. O que falar dos tantos elogios que sempre recebeu dos professores: excelente aluno, super dedicado e concentrado (no início escolar, duvidávamos que se tratava de nosso filho). E esse menino está virando um homem (mamãe não acha!) terminando a primeira grande etapa de sua vida. Parabéns, campeão! O futuro está ao alcance de suas mãos e do tamanho dos seus sonhos; faça como vc sempre fez, sem nunca perder o bom humor, corra e não ande; escale todas as dificuldades; vá e volte quantas vezes forem necessárias; insista muito; com excelência, dedicação e foco! Amamos você muito mais do que você pensa! Mamãe, Papai , Bebé e Avós.

Luiza Schmidt

healthy, sensitive, human and a participant in the family life. His wisdom, which represents the art of understanding life, has been sprouting strongly. Tik as we call him, or Tuba as his friends dubbed him the Chapel, is kind and conquers all with his simplicity. He is focused and disciplined when he wants to achieve a goal, won the black belt of Taekwondo at the age of 11 years, was a five-time champion in São Paulo, a two-time Brazilian champion and a three-time Latin American champion. After his trip to exchange in the United States with 15 years left the sport. Now he aspires to be a doctor, participates in extracurricular preparation to achieve this objective goal. But we believe that He has the ideal characteristics of intelligence, wisdom and sensitivity, able to do good to your neighbor and to be happy.

Luiz Carlos and Magaly

Loura, parece que foi ontem que nasceu aquela menininha de cabelos arrepiados. Hoje, eu vejo uma mulher inteligente, determinada e cheia de personalidade. Você faz ser mãe parecer tão fácil. Tenho muito orgulho de você e tenho certeza que essa é uma das várias conquistas que você vai ter na vida. Te amo mais do que palavras podem descrever.

Luiza, me enche de orgulho ver você completando essa etapa da vida com tanta alegria. Alegria contagiante que faz parecer fácil a forma com a qual você enfrenta as dificuldades que encontra na sua frente. Como pai, acompanhar você ao longo desse tempo na Chapel foi gratificante pois pude ver você amadurecendo e se tornando a pessoa maravilhosa que é. Um beijo grande do pai que te ama muito.

민경이에게

물리적인 시간은 길었지만, 내 마음 속의 시간은 아주 짧았다.

내 마음의 시간 속에는 아직도 아기 같은데 벌써 졸업 이라니

참으로 감격이고 감동이고 뭉클하다.

이제는 작은 세상에 마침표를 찍고, 넓고 넓은 세상으로 너를

보내주고 싶다.

그 길만이 엄마 아빠가 민경이에 대한 사랑을 완성하는 길이라고

생각하기

때문이다. 저 넓은 세상으로 나아가라 그리고 펄떡이는 고래처럼 춤을 추거라.

이제 미래의 세상은 바로 너의 것이다.

그러나 세상 속에는 많은 시련과 좌절, 실패가 숨어 있단다. 그러나 흔들리지 않고 피는 꽃이 어디 있으며, 방황하지 않고 성장하는 청춘이 어디에 있겠느냐, 바람부는 날 흔들리는 가지 위에 지은 새집은 참 단단하단다. 너도 그렇게 세상 속으로 나아가 단단한 너의 집을 짓거라.

Jose Joaquin Stella Hernandez

2017, el año de tu graduación, será una de esas fechas en tu vida que no se olvidan. El camino hasta aquí incluyó muchos retos e innumerables logros de los cuales debes sentirte muy orgulloso, nosotros lo estamos de ti. Sabemos que no era fácil comenzar una nueva vida aquí, pero lo aceptaste con éxito y ló disfrutaste con gusto. Y lo hiciste parecer tan simple enfrentando nuevas costumbres, escuela, amigos e idioma con el ímpetu que te caracteriza, de frente, y sin mirar atrás. Tus cualidades, algunas innatas, otras desarrolladas a través de esfuerzo y de experiencias, serán tus herramientas para el futuro. Como buen líder, nos has enseñado integridad, perseverancia, a reír, eres amigo leal y defensor de tus compañeros. Has demostrado uma abilidad para encarar situaciones con el aplomo y responsabilidad que muchos adultos no tienen. Estás preparado y lo sabes. Lo importante para ti, entonces, será soñar grande, porque puedes estar seguro de que si enfocas tus esfuerzos hacia lo que quieres, lo vas a conseguir. Disfruta el proceso. Estaremos a tu lado, somos tus “cheerleaders” para siempre. Felicidades, Joaquín! Mantén siempre ese brillo en tu mirada. Te quieren mucho, Mama, Papa y Franco

直輝へ：

卒業おめでとう！ご立派です。

カナダでの４年間、ブラジルでの４年間半また旅行で訪れた様々な 国、たくさんの国を知り、様々な文化や考え方を体験、学びましたね。 日本にいては分からなかった事も気付いた事でしょう。苦労も多かった ですが、これらの経験は今後の将来に必ず役に立ちます。

常に、なぜだろう？好奇心を持って、世のためになるグローバル人材 へ成長していく事を願っています。

人生は一回限り。様々な事に挑戦していって下さい。

Lamis Smaili

Minha linda e doce Lamis, você nem imagina o quanto foi desejada por mim e seu pai. Você foi um presente de Deus para nós. Você era tão apegada a mim que eu não podia nem ir ao toalete que você gritava chorando até eu sair. Bons tempos, momentos inesquecíveis!!! TE AMO DE PAIXÃO LAMIS QUERIDA. Tenho muito orgulho de você pois cresceu e se tornou uma jovem com um caráter inquestionável e de boa índole, e um ser humano que se preocupa com o próximo como se preocupa consigo mesma. Concluindo eu e seu pai temos o privilégio de ter uma filha como você. DEUS TE ABENÇOE HOJE E SEMPRE

Arthur Souza

Having the presence in our lives of a son like Arthur Arrais Bento de Souza is a divine gift, he is

家族にとっても感慨深いものがあります。あなたは、カナダやブラジル に滞在する機会に恵まれましたが、同時に文化の相違や言葉の壁に 戸惑ったり、生活環境も大きく変化しましたね。しかし、決して弱音を 吐かず、いつも前向きにベストを尽くしていた事、とても誇らしく思いま す。

恩師や友達を大切に、今後も更に視野を広げ、国際社会で活躍でき る人材に成長していって欲しいと願っています。

Believe in yourself and try your best ! 母より

John Van Der Klugt

Assim que você nasceu, a Oma aconselhou que sua formação seria na Chapel. Escola onde teu pai se formou e onde você seria preparado para a vida. Foram 14 anos de estudos desde o ECEC com Ms. Adriana e Ms. Beth. E assim foi passando os anos liderados por excelentes professores. E os amigos? Nossa! Muitos amigos, amigos que ficaram, muitos que se foram, mas que continuam com o elo de amizade. O elo indissolúvel. As comemorações, 1° comunhão com o F. Brown, tantas alegrias, desafios, frustrações, vitórias, decepções, NR, IB, namoros, adeus a amigos, amigos novos, tantas emoções vividas nesses anos. Valeu a pena! Você está preparado para a vida, como a Chapel prometeu em sua missão! Estamos orgulhosos por você, por teu valor, por ser um filho querido, por ser divertido, inteligente, bondoso, gentil e principalmente por tua conduta moral e ética. Nosso amor por você é como a luz que vai te seguir, guiar e proteger mesmo estando longe. Seja feliz nesta nova etapa. Estamos contigo, sempre! - Toda a família.
