CHAPEL AENEID 2019 VOLUME
A YEAR TO REMEMBER
2018 - 2019 Aeneid
“We take pictures because we can’t accept that everything passes, we can’t accept that the repetition of a moment is an impossibility.” ~
Michelle Richmond
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”
~ Henry David Thoreau
“Life’s too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.” ~ Dr. Seuss
Life doesn’t last forever, but memorable moments do. This is the most important message conveyed by this year’s theme: Scrapbooking. You make a scrapbook to hold on to fragments that compose your life, moments that will make you part of history, moments that will make you immortal. It is not about whether the things that you record are good or bad, short or long, big or small, sad or happy. The only thing that matters is that captured moments last forever. The best way to remember a part that composes this short life of ours is by using images. After all, images can be understood by everyone, decoding them is just like having a superpower, just like telepathy. You comprehend what is being expressed without the use of any words. The message is simply passed from one mind to another. Please remind yourself that every page that you flip over without really looking represents someone else’s moment. Someone else’s life. Take risks and allow every individual to deliver a telepathic message to you and allow them to share a small fraction of their lives.
After all, life is short and complex while images are immortal and simple.
Enzo Menghini

Seventh Grade
‘This year was amazing! High school is both an incredible and challenging experience. We did many incredible things that we could never have done in elementary, like the Paraty trip (go!), Little 8, Pep Rally, Spirit Week, Social Studies activities, and many other great things. The first year of high school was a mix of feelings, like fun, boredom, homework, and many more. Overall, it was an amazing year, and we made new friends, had laughs, studied VERY MUCH, and enjoyed the privilege of being older in high school. We learned a lot. Made a lot of mistakes. However, most importantly, we learned from them. Overall it was a really good year!’

If we could give one piece of advice to the next 7th graders, this would be it:
‘We would tell them not to stress because it isn’t that hard. If you have many friends and are dedicated to your work, then there is absolutely no reason to stress. Trust me, we stressed. A lot. But now we know that the biggest change are the teachers and classes and the content isn’t going to be impossible. It may be hard to find the rooms at first, but it gets easier. 7th grade is way harder than 6th, together with more responsibilities.1st semester is the easiest. The second one gets harder. On the other hand, 7th grade is more fun, because you have more freedom. Be yourself and don’t give up even if you are having a bad time. Be sure to play when you play, and study hard when you study. Do your homework and study a lot and make sure to manage your time well. Study, Study, Study. Exams aren’t so hard. You can do it! You are ready for them! So, don’t stress over them too much, just study. And make sure to have a lot of fun since it is your first year of high school!’

If we could give one piece of advice to the next 9th graders, this would be it: ‘Do every sport you can and choose electives wisely. Go to the ESD trips! Don’t listen to other people, because even though their opinions count, it’s important to create your own experiences. Listen to yourself! Study hard, but have fun. Your grade ’actually matters’ now: everything in 9th grade counts for your cumulative G.P.A. until you graduate. Don’t pick a fight, that matters even more now. Do after schools, they actually matter now too. And while you’re at it, learn something cool, like an instrument. Try hard because if you slack off you won’t do well.’

‘Stay focused and organized! Every little detail that is taught can cost you a lot in tests. Study hard, every year it gets tougher, but also enjoy it a lot! Prepare yourself to have a lot of homework and work hard! Study hard, do your best. Even if it’s not enough, what matters is how much you tried. Be nice to all teachers, they are only doing their job, it is probably not their fault. Value your friendships, prioritize your mental health. This year you must really have dedication to succeed! Take breaks.This is your last year without being in IB!’

‘Don’t worry about IB itself, worry about time management! Plan and make time for studying. It’s not that hard. Put in the effort and chill out.The first semester is easier than the second. Take the time you have in the first semester to figure things out and gain your footing. Don’t let IB consume you, there are other important things to life as well. Do study harder though and don’t treat students from younger grades as inferior, it’s annoying. Start cutting the nonsense out of your life! If you don’t enjoy what you are doing, find something new. Lastly, count on your friends to keep you sane.’

If we could give one piece of advice to the next 12th graders, this would be it: ‘Do your work, try not to stress out, enjoy your last year of high school! Do NOT leave everything for the last minute. If you have one week of break before Mocks, STUDY! Do NOT not study for a test or study everything at 11pm. at night. Rest a lot! Don’t underestimate how tired you may get. Also, don’t trust yourself that you can finish your IAs and EE in only a few days: you won’t! I know IB and high school, in general, can be a bit overwhelming, but believe me when I say everything will be fine in the end - cause it will’. Besides, y’all are still super young (I know it doesn’t feel like it, but we really are) so don’t stress out about life too much, because you have barely begun yours. Enjoy your time because it goes by REALLY FAST. Don’t get so stressed, everything will work out in the end. Have a lot of fun and don’t worry too much. Enjoy your last memories with your friends and try to become friends with people in your grade that you wouldn’t think you would be friends with, it might surprise you! Have fun, especially during the planning of the fashion show, and plan ahead. Use the time you have together because you will not have another high school experience. GOOD LUCK!’

Mãe & Pai: Acredito que palavras não são suficientes para descrever minha gratidão por vocês! Seus diversos conselhos e palavras de amor sempre me motivaram no dia-a-dia. Sou eternamente grato pelas oportunidades que me proporcionaram nessa vida!
Paulo: You are probably the only and last person that really understands my thoughts/ideas and for that reason I am proud to call you my best friend. Zagury: I don’t recall having one serious conversation with you. Renan: You have done so much for me that I can’t thank you enough. Your charisma brings a smile to my face everyday, which is why I am truly humbled to have you in my life. Ricardo: I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in a bad mood. Since day one you ensured to show me your warm hearted soul by saying hi to me and asking me how I was doing. You make me feel welcomed anywhere I go with you, hence my consideration for you as a very close friend! Lobo: At first we didn’t get along too well, but with time we managed to build up a friendship I treasure a lot. Our conversations always put a smile in my face and it amuses me just to hear you talk. Versolato: After we became closer, I realized how much I valued our friendship. The least I can hope for now is that we get into nearby universities so we can stay close! Antonio: I still remember my first day at Chapel when you approached me without even asking my name and said: “what type of music do you listen to?” From there I knew we would bond over this passion we shared and I hope it stays like that after school is over. Gui: You were the first person I became really close friends with at Chapel, and I don’t want that to change. You are probably the funniest person I know, since laugh just by looking at you. Schmidt: I hope you are able to pursue your music passion as a career in the future! Keep working hard and it will pay off, and remember I am always here if you need anything. Maite: Ay I will miss you so much! Especially hearing about your weekend “plans”. Feel free to text me about the Kardashians and Cardi B whenever. Luca: The bromance shall never fade. Leticia: Like Dory said, just keep swimming. Lara: I feel like we became really close throughout my two years at Chapel and I want to keep it that way after school is over. will never forget some of the memories we made together, especially when was asked to babysit your imaginary child. Tata: I don’t think I can describe our friendship in words. The extent to which we shared our common passions, beliefs and thoughts was something had never experienced before and that is what makes it so special for me. I will never forget our hour long talks, nor will I forget the times when we sat and laughed uncontrollably without a word said. I treasure you, not only as a friend, but as a person, which is why I am overwhelmed with happiness every time I remind myself of how close we are. My gratitude for what we’ve built together is way beyond me, and it goes even further when I think about the memories we made together throughout what seems to be a lifetime when it was actually 2 years only. Just like the proportions of our friendship, the degree to which I will miss you is immeasurable and I hope we stay in touch after school is over! Remaining Seniors: Due to the word limit, wasn’t able to write about all of you although I wish I could. I wanted to let you know that I appreciate every single one of you and I wish the best of luck for you all in the future! Mr. Rombaut: Hey babe.

Eu agradeço por tudo que vocês fizeram para mim, e por ter apoiado as minhas decisões. Vocês sempre estiveram e sempre estarão no meu coração, e o meu amor por vocês é infinito. No fundo, eu sei que vocês pensam sempre no meu bem estar, trabalhando todos os dias para dar o melhor de tudo para mim. AMO VOCÊS!
Zagury: My future journalist pal, honestly don’t even know if I would’ve survived high school without your company, always cheering me up on gloomy days with your historical facts - not really useful, though - and stories of your crazy adventures - never get old. I hope we can keep hanging out together in the future. Felipe: has it really been 13 years? Wow, I should commend myself for putting up with your jokes. HAHA, just kidding! I will never forget the time we spent together (playing video games, creating study guides, watching movies,...) I hope we can still be friends, independent of how far we are from each other (although, there is a possibility that we will meet at Penn State, God help me - ahhaahahha). Josh: My Korean brother, you’ve been always hanging around with me, which might’ve been boring for you. Man, you gotta start taking it easy whenever I mess with you. I still want to see your drawings, even though mine are clearly better, ahaha. I wish you the best in life and that you get to do what you enjoy. Lobo: life is all about living new experiences, and you’re enjoying yours to the fullest. Whenever you are absent, I always feel like something is missing and you definitely made a presence in my life. (also, let me concentrate in class) I will miss you and your mischief, that bring a laugh from everyone around. Thank you for being my friend. Ju: I know I might’ve been an idiot sometimes, but really appreciate everything you’ve done for me. Just like the people I cherish the most, you will be forever in my heart as one of my best friends, always mememing, laughing, crying, talking with me. Luca: Honestly, you are one of the most memorable people and friend I have ever met. Always in a bright mood, you always cheer me up with your contagious laugh and your sassy, unique personality. You always stuck with me, even though wasn’t that interesting, which appreciate so much. can’t believe we are already parting to different paths, but I will always cherish the moments we’ve spent together. Carol: My HL Art companion. You always think about others and what you could do to help them, I appreciate you for putting up with my terrible memes and art tips. will forever cherish the moments we’ve spent together, pondering about our artistic career, fighting over which artwork was the best, and crying over staying up late working on our art pieces. Rodrigo: One of the smartest and artful friends I have. admire your thirst for knowledge (although, reading the news during classwork isn’t exactly something we should be doing) and your cheerful personality. You will definitely achieve great feats, in the future, by outshining others with your unique and positive mindset. (You can count on me to design your company) Schmidt: A true musician, a true comedian, a true gamer, and a true friend. Continue being the bright person that you are, and I hope you achieve great things in life. Leticia: I think you’re a great model in life, and I wish I would be able to overcome my shyness and talk more with you, that way we, probably, could’ve been very close friends. (I am very bad at expressing myself) Gui: Whenever I think about you, can’t stop laughing. You never cease to impress me and others around you, and regardless of the situation you brighten the mood of our class with a joke or two. I hope we can continue to be friends. Bruno&Paulo: will never forget the few great times we had together, like the parties we went to. I hope you guys are able to achieve greatness in life. To Everyone: I can’t express enough how much you did for me, as well as being inclusive independent of my shyness.

Although it has been very tough living these 2 years apart from each other, I can affirm that they have been worth it and all the “saudades” will pay off with my good swimming results and my graduation. Thank you so much for always supporting me in my swim meets, waking up early, getting wet, being the crazy photographer and screaming for me from the bleachers. love you guys to infinity and beyond!

Ma: This is a friendship that just happened because of other people, but somehow it became one of my strongest ones. Every single time we met something just clicked and that’s amazing.

Mamá y Papá: es imposible poner en palabras todo lo que siento y lo agradecida que soy por ustedes. Son los mejores padres que cualquier persona puede tener.

Best Chapel Memory: Senior skip day
Plans After Chapel: Hopefully getting a job in a few years
Mom and Dad - Nobody would ever have been able to raise me like you did, or help like you did, or love me like you did. know don’t talk much and might not show it most of the time, but I love the both of you as well. If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t be alive, I wouldn’t be in this school. Thank you for giving me so many opportunities, without you I would not have made it this far.
Renan - I will start by saying that you should pay attention to anything that stands Out from this writing. Alright then, our friendship is something unlikely, and often results in altered computer backgrounds. But despite all that, or sometimes even because of it, something treasure greatly. When together at least one of us will end up laughing uncontrollably at one point or another, and have an incredible time. Maybe that’s what this friendship is, hilarious, but I truly relish it because at the center of every great comedy there is truth. For me that truth is bond.
Brunão - Now, some rule would be broken if didn’t mention cupcakes, brownies, and a good game of madlibs. That was a great day, and we practically turned green from the nature around us. But our kinship goes even beyond that, from the petty class disputes to the more philosophical conversations that occur in Big 8, you have always stood by me and I really appreciate that. What I appreciate even more is that you can understand me without any conversation. And in light of this I will simply say, thank you.
Luchetti - Ever so great it was to have you as a classmate to distract us from many of the boring parts in class. Whether it was by hiding Maite’s shoe or eating chocolate that wasn’t yours, you were always doing something to humor everyone. Like a small break from much of the stress the IB has to offer, thanks for giving some laughter to a bland world. And hope to summarize everything else have to say while winning our most competitive dispute yet in a single action: ;)
Zagury - To the man who knows every random historical fact and has the most luxurious hair known to be above on a head, I write: I wish nothing but success in your journalistic life to come, truly enjoyed having you as friend, and hope that this continues in both our lives.
Antonio - Every situation where you are present seems to be more exciting because of your natural upbeatness. It is as if you emit a party-like aura. I enjoy that about you, how your mind is always somewhere else that is more fun and where you have a decent supply of Guarana or Red Bull to share. You bring that to your surroundings..
Josh - You were such a great friend. You’re usually very reserved and talk very little, but on the occasions where we can freely speak and joke around I enjoy your company the most. Thanks for introducing me to MUN, thanks for being you, and thanks for being a good sport.
Felipe - Never did think I would stop being annoyed by all your bird puns, but I soon realized that “toucan play that game”. Jokes aside, you were a great help and a great friend, always very respectful and someone I could count on. Just try to relax nobody wants you do die from a heart attack from a palmeiras loss. Ms. Bidoli - Coming to your office was one of the things did most this year, and I thank you for all the college help, couldn’t have been accepted anywhere without it. ITGS class - Most classes can be... unengaging, but not this one. So let’s all say our proper goodbyes to Babe before graduating. Everyone - Sorry I couldn’t include you in this as well, hopefully you can understand why, thanks for everything.

I have been at Chapel for more than 12 years, almost 70% of my life. So it is no surprise that the people at Chapel, including students and teachers, have become my second family. want to thank all of you for these amazing years which we have spent together. I have various memories, good and bad, but mostly good. From disagreements with friends to amazing experiences, all of these were important events in my life which I could not have had anywhere else. And all of these things helped created this person that I am today, so am very grateful of all of them. I would especially like to thank my closets friends Renan, Guilherme, Andre, Rick, Calvin, Antonio and Zagury for all of these great memories I have. From playing soccer during lunch when we were younger, to the debates we had. All of these experiences were amazing and sometimes I wish could relive them. Even though we will not see each other much, you guys will always be in my mind. And no mater where we all end up, know that can count on you.

“Who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?” - Hunter S. Thompson
There is nothing that makes Chapel inherently different from other schools, to the outside viewer. And yet, were to go to any other school, would not feel as I did at Chapel. The reason behind this are all the people behind my school experience, and, although I cannot thank all of you in this space as I end this chapter of my life, know that you are in my heart. From all the teachers, through students and librarians, I am fortunate to have been able to enjoy your company and presence. Teachers: Those of you who are nearest and dearest to me know who you are. You have made my Chapel memorable, allowing me to find interest in what could’ve been the most boring moments of my life. I am proud to say that I have never slept during a lecture, although that is your merit, not mine. As for those of you who have said we will have coffee after graduation, I will hold you to it. Meire, Gabi & Sonia: Obrigado pelos longos anos de “quantos dias falta para a sexta?” e “Nossa como eu estou cansado, quero dormir”, além de outros momentos de felicidade em meio ao tédio e chatice, vocês estiveram aqui sempre que precisei, e tem minha eterna gratidão e amizade. Leo: We haven’t been friends as long as I’d have liked, but you’ve made every second count even if you did have earbuds in half the time. I would have probably gone insane without you and I’ll miss our random rolês and almost getting mugged. In the future, you won’t have to worry about seeing me, as I will be a constant fixture on your couch (although your being unemployed too could hurt this). MaG. MoC. Bruno: Your laugh has been the joy of my days for these past years, and uplifted me in dark times as much as the coffee you generously shared. I hope we will still see each other as you rise above us mere mortals in the Film industry, and will miss our Biology sessions in your house. Oloco Meo. Steeply. Luca: Discussing geopolitics with you was probably the high water mark of my academic career, and your at times outrageous (not to mention tall) self has uplifted and improved me: “you make me want to be a better man”. Saúde. Lobo: You too, have been light in many dark times for me, and my Chapel existence has been improved immeasurably by your general inappropriateness: I couldn’t have survived class without you. Carol: Your company, comforting presence and willing ear have been the lifeline to hold on to keeping me afloat in stormy seas. Having someone simply ask how was doing already made my day 100x better. Yeet. Eric: I wish I’d known you all my life, and it was a shame you had to take the twisted joys of knowing you to the US. Isa: That night at Milo’s changed my life, and I couldn’t be happier for it. In the brief time where we’ve been friends, you’ve gotten to know me like few other people, and understand me like no one else. Josh: Thanks for the years of help, interesting conversations and many other joys. Know always that “Manners maketh man”. Rick: Your presence has since forever shone a light on my life, and I hope to spend even more time with you, even having dinner at 12:00 in your house. Prometo que nunca mais vou miar os rolês. Leticia: Our resident mermaid, and the person behind the most amusing, interesting conversations of these last few years. Always remember, “I swim”, and you will succeed. Renan, Antonio, Andre & Luchetti: Please forgive me for bunching you all together, but you are all able to make me laugh since when we were all children, and I couldn’t imagine life without your funny, lovable presence. I hope we can see much more of each other in all the crazy rolês which make life enjoyable. Paulo, Rodrigo, Schmidt & Felipe: I am sorry, too, to have bunched you, but all of you managed to be intelligent without being arrogant, in addition to interesting, steadfast and friendly: you have my eternal admiration and friendship. Mãe: Eu te dei muito trabalho, eu sei, desde não acordar de manhã até ir em reuniões para ouvir desaforos (merecidos). Mesmo assim, você sempre esteve lá por mim, e eu serei sempre grato pelas oportunidades que, através do seu trabalho, você me proporcionou Pai: Sua presença intelectual e calorosa tem me alegrado e dado conforto sempre que precisei, e seu exemplo me guiou nos momentos mais difíceis. David: Desde criança, você foi o norte e o exemplo das minhas ações (azar o meu), mas a maioria das coisas que eu gostaria de dizer não ficariam bem aqui. Por mais que eu tente, seria impossível expressar minha gratidão nesta página por vocês três. Primos: Meus melhores amigos, alegria da minha família e proporcionadores da minha felicidade a qualquer momento, thanks for everything Tias: Porque uma mãe não é suficiente... vocês me tornaram uma pessoa melhor, e seu cuidado e exemplo me guiam.

Mamãe e Papai: Não existem palavras que descrevam o quanto amo vocês. Vocês vão para sempre ser minha base, meu porto seguro. Durante todos esses anos de esporte e fins de semana acordando cedo, vocês me ensinaram o valor da família, a importância da gratidão. Sou eternamente grata a vocês, que muitas vezes deixaram o descanso de lado para me ajudar, me ouvir, me apoiar. Espero um dia poder retribuir tudo isso. Papai, você sempre foi meu “moral compass”, me ensinando o valor do trabalho duro e da fé, te admiro muito. Mamãe, para sempre minha melhor amiga, minha conselheira e minha inspiração.

From braiding our hair together and the glitter explosion at the talent show, you’ve been here for me and promise I will be too.

Since 8th grade our friendship became important to me. Your family will always feel like home to me and I’m so thankful for that. Love you! Sayonarâ Lara: Some of my best conversations have been with you. I’ll miss trying to figure out if truth is universal while watching a 30min Tana video. You, more than anyone, understood my need for caffeine, which I’m grateful for. Despite knowing you since “Firework” and “you’re going to be in the middle but way back”, I’m always astounded by your intelligence and ability to debate politics with me! I’ll miss you so much Sophi: I’ll miss your contagious laugh and having the best breakfasts at your house. Thank you for the advice. I’ll forever cherish our chocolate memories (Stefan) and the nights we ordered in and ranted about life. Love you Ju F: Miss you Gui: Thanks for always helping me when was trying to complete my assignments last minute. I’ll miss your jokes Luca: What even is math?

Pai e Mãe: Vocês são os melhores pais do mundo! Muito obrigado, por terem me dado a vida que eu tive, por me levarem para a Europa com vocês, por se esforçarem para me dar uma educação na Chapel, mesmo sendo difícil. Mas acima de tudo muito obrigado pelo amor e carinho que vocês me deram quando eu precisava, por cada conversa de consolo depois de um xororo, por cada ajuda nas lições de casa, por cada memória que vocês deixaram com as nossas diversas viagens e por cada conversa que tivemos no carro. Muito obrigado por sempre me colocarem em primeira linha. Pais e mães que querem o melhor para os seus filhos são normais, mas vocês foram muito além do que o “normal”, e eu nunca vou me esquecer disso. Marina: Eu não poderia ter pedido uma outra irmã. Acima de tudo, somos amigos, nos damos apoio quando precisamos e temos uma relação mútua de amor. Não importa qual seja o futuro, eu tenho certeza que sempre iremos ter as nossas conversas filosóficas de madrugada, que sempre iremos fofocar, e que sempre teremos “our weird things” que nos levam a perguntar se os outros irmãos da escola também agem do mesmo jeito. Você foi o maior presente da minha vida. Schmidt: I’m not sure if you know why I asked you so many times what you wanted to do after high school. The reason is because you have such a captivating energy in whatever you do, and I’m sure whatever you choose, you’re going far in life. You sing, you read about politics, you play video games at a professional level and you’re the sweetest person on earth. No matter what people say, remember that you are epic (and I’m not the first person to tell you that). You’re unique, and that unique goodness of yours is what is already attracting so many people to your life. Thanks for being my best friend, not only at Chapel, but for life. Even if we spend a while without talking, I know I can always count on you for anything, and I hope the same goes both ways around. Felipe: Felipe, Thanks for all the bad jokes, for every drama over a test, for every invitation to do something over the weekend, and for all your crazy “frescuras”. Felipe, you’re a character, but above all you are an incredible person and I have no idea what my life at Chapel would have been like without you. I hope we always keep in touch because I think we have an amazing friendship (after all, we did survive 8th grade together, hahaha). Leo: I’m sure you’re going to become a great architect,and for that reason I’m going to hire you to build the headquarters of my law firm, hahaha. You are an awesome friend, thanks for staying by my side all these years and I hope our friendship continues even with the distance. Josh: You are the most awesome pessimist in the world, hahaha. will miss you man and I hope we keep in touch. Neil: I feel like you are in great terms with your entire life and you have your stuff more figured out than I do, but if you ever need support just know you can count on me! Rodrigo and Carol Cordeiro: Good luck with NHS, I have no doubt you will reach incredible heights, never give up. Giovanna and Lara: Thank you for making me laugh every day at school, both of you have a brilliant future because of the wonderful contagious energy you transmit. Carol S., Zagury, Luca: You guys have no idea the difference you made in my life, thanks for being there for me when I needed the most. All of you are so cheerful and positive and accepting, thanks for accepting me and for uniting our groups. Anika and Rhea: The two of you are awesome, and smart, and funny, and worth every second to spend time with. Both of you were born for greatness and I hope you always remember that the two of you are amazing. Ms. Bidolli, Mr. Vaughan, Ms. Meire: Thanks for caring and looking out for me, both academically and emotionally, thanks for always wanting the best for me. Ms. Vompean and Ms. Lais: Thanks for what I know were the best recommendation letters in the world, and thank you for always being supportive of me in every step of my high school life.

Ihr habt es immer geschafft für mich da zu sein, auch wenn nur energetisch, weil ich allein in meinem Zimmer war haha. Ich bin so dankbar für eure Unterstützung und Bemühungen und mamschi spezielles gracias por tus masajes que siempre me ayudaron. Hab dich lieb paps y te quiero mucho mamá, besos! Jococo: Bromigo, leider konntest du mich nicht zu tode struggeln sehn während meinen letzten 2 jahren aber trotzdem warst du immer für mich da um dir meine rants und gossip auf facetime anzuhören. Meine graduation ist aber gott sei dank kein goodbye, sondern eher ein hallöchen zu einer gemeinsame Wohnung und einem geteilten Kleiderschrank (hehe) und ich kanns kaum erwarten to make up für die ganzen verlorenen dance parties und einpark schlamasseln. Bussi Becca: Thank you for always being there for me and for listening to all my theories, even if it took a burger or too. can’t even describe how grateful I am for having you as one of my best friends and I’m going to miss our study sessions, which in reality were always just an excuse to order food and procrastinate homework. You truly deserve the world and PS you are beautiful and our SA adventure is still happening! Maitey: There are so many things I want to thank you for, starting with our first dinner where you gave me a run-down of all the things I needed to know, followed by a thank you for always pushing me into making the worst decisions possible, because I don’t regret a single one! I can’t even put into words how much I’m going to miss you, so I’m just going to leave it at an: ayyy, see you in euro. Even if we meet again in Spain, you will never hear me say #ferrocarril sry not sry. Tata: Thank you for always giving me the best advice and being there for me whenever needed you. You are such a kind and loving person and I am going to miss our chill but quickly escalating nights. and even after more than 2 years of friendship, I don’t think will ever not get scared when walking into your apartment. Love uuu! Lara: I am so glad we grew so close in such a short time period. You are such a genuine and honest person which I always appreciated. Thank you for always making my days more fun with your craziness and believing in me when truly thought I was going to fail Math. I am going to miss having you by my side and I will never not be surprised by the fact that you lived in Belgium. Love you lots. GI: Thank you for always brightening up my day with your contagious laugh and jokes even on my worst days. You are such a loving person and am going to miss having you by my side. I promise one day I will call you to practice my Portuguese without dying of laughter while looking like a red tomato. will definitely come back to brazil to visit you and you can always count on me! Ricardo: Thank you for always being there for me and am going to miss having you and Julio by my side when watching the sunrises in Baroneza! One day I will get you an internship at Audi, promise. Luchetti: You are one of the funniest guys I have ever met and I am so glad that always had you by my side to cheer up my days at Chapel. Going to miss you and btw you are still saved as Luchentti! Antonio: I am going to miss having you as a neighbor and I look forward to seeing you as a famous DJ in the future! Andre, Renan, Calvin: Thank you for always making my classes a lot funnier. Good luck guys! Class of 2019: WE DID IT! wish you all the best. Cheer: thank you for making my Chapel memories even more fun and I love you all! Sorry that you are going to have to lose your most coordinated cheer Mr. Vaughan: I am going to miss working on Kognity during Geo and getting pens thrown at me, but seriously thank you for always supporting me. Mr. Murphy: You are the cuttest and sorry for always being out of dress code! Ms. Vompean & Mr. K: It’s been a struggle but thank you for getting me to where I am today and always believing in me!

André do Rego Barros D'Arriaga Schmidt
André,
Estou muito orgulhoso. Grande passo dado, grandes passos à frente! Amigo sincero e companheiro de sempre, estou certo de que brilhará cada vez mais nessa nova etapa que inicia agora. Com sua vontade e determinação sei que você chegará onde desejar. Um grande beijo do pai que te ama e admira. Como o tempo voa, Cara!! Parece que foi ontem que você entrou na Chapel no prédio dos pequenininhos e hoje você está se formando, pronto para uma nova etapa da sua vida. O mundo está se abrindo para você e sei que você saberá aproveitar cada oportunidade que aparecer. Esse é o começo de uma grande jornada. Tenho muito orgulho de ser sua mãe, meu músico, meu gamer, meu filho. Te amo muito!!
André Rodrigues Versolato
Se é para falar de Filho, não tem como fugir da palavra Amor. Amor gigante, que não fecha os olhos, e nem o coração. E sem percebermos, os papéis se invertem, e passamos a pedir a sua opinião sobre tudo, como se você já fosse um adulto experiente. A internet está fora do ar? Como falar com sua irmã? Como mexer nos aparelhos? Amor que assume as aflições e cede suas alegrias pelas alegrias e aflições dele! Identifica as falhas, os exageros, os sonhos mais íntimos e com generosa inquietação e paciência tenta poupá-los dos fracassos, decepções, lágrimas e substituí-los por alegrias e segurança para que voem alto. Sempre estaremos aqui para te dar apoio. Te amamos! Papai e Mamãe
Carolina: Meu melhor amigo desde sempre. Obrigada por sempre me apoiar e dar bons conselhos. Me faz rir todos os dias. Te desejo muita sorte nessa nova etapa de vida. Pode sempre se apoiar e contar comigo. Te amo demais! Ca
Julio: Meu irmão da “cuequinha”, gosto muito de você! Mesmo sendo meu irmão mais novo sei que tenho muito para aprender com você, e tenho certeza que você vai ser muito feliz e bem-sucedido na vida! Beijos, Julio
Antonio Predebon Pereira Barboza
Querido Antonio, Estamos muito felizes por você! Parabéns por ter se esforçado e se dedicado para se formar. Você conseguiu com muita determinação. Esperamos que essa vitória seja o início de muitas outras conquistas. Esperamos que os anos de faculdade te tragam muitas vitórias, aprendizados, amigos e momentos inesquecíveis! Obrigada por ser essa pessoa tão alegre em nossas vidas! Sempre estivemos e estaremos ao seu lado. Continue perseguindo teus sonhos.
A letter to lovely son from mom Calvin, who loves too much soccer and Brazil, tries to do best for your work with responsibility. Even if you are going to be in any position at any time in your life, these responsibilities should give you good opportunities, I believe. I pray you are to be happy always. I love you.
Carolina Quintanilha Stancati
Filha,
Você é nossa maior realização pessoal nesta vida!
Nada se compara a emoção de ter acompanhado de perto estes últimos 17 anos. Desde o momento da descoberta que teríamos uma menina, Carolina, até o momento que você deixou de ser criança para se tornar uma mulher. Linda, generosa, inteligente, amável, respeitadora, companheira. Sua alegria contagiante e a beleza de sua alma ilumina a todos que tem a oportunidade de te conhecer e andar ao seu lado. Deus foi muito generoso ao nos dar o privilégio de ser seus pais. Nosso orgulho é enorme. Ao final desta caminhada escolar, no término de seu ano letivo, sabemos que você vai ter que partir. Isto nos deixa com aquela mistura de emoções que só um pai e uma mãe podem compreender. A vida é assim. Meu amor, difícil expressar em palavras e de forma completa a emoção que sentimos. Muito sucesso sempre e saiba que estaremos ao seu lado em todos os momentos, independente da distância física.
Te amamos muito! Márcia e Vinício Stancati
Felipe Rillo Montini
Felipe, O ano era 2006 e nossa família tinha acabado de crescer, com a chegada de seu querido irmão. Foi quando recebemos nosso primeiro ANEID. Naquele momento, imaginar que um dia estaríamos escrevendo essa mensagem parecia um sonho distante, longe no tempo. Chegamos em 2019 e nosso sonho se materializou: aquela criança tão especial se tornou um jovem adulto, rumo a grandes realizações! Pois é, filho... o futuro chegou! Foi um longo caminho. Alguns tropeços e muitas vitórias celebradas, que trouxeram lições valiosas para todos nós! À sua frente, incontáveis possibilidades te esperam e, com elas, o desafio e privilégio de fazer suas escolhas, de conhecer novas realidades, pessoas e lugares fascinantes. Sua graduação nos enche de orgulho por tudo aquilo que você já realizou e, principalmente, por constatarmos o ser humano incrível que você se tornou. Que suas escolhas continuem a ser acertadas e, se algum dia algo não sair como você imaginou, que o aprendizado continue a ser o combustível para seguir em frente, em busca de todas conquistas que você merece. Class of 2019. Essa é uma alegria estranha... ao mesmo tempo que nos faz sentir plenos, deixa um vazio: você ainda nem foi estudar fora, e já estamos com saudade! Love will keep us together, não importa a distância. Com muito amor, Seus pais.
Fê, Cara, não dá para acreditar no que você conseguiu fazer! Ser aceito em tantas Universidades não é algo fácil! Sentirei muitas saudades. Você é uma das pessoas mais fortes que eu conheço e eu sei que você vai aproveitar muito.
Do seu “fofão”, Marco
Giovanna Fedlallah Boueiri
Gi é difícil colocar em palavras o que sinto cada vez que a escuto e a vejo. É uma gratidão a Deus de ter realizado um sonho meu. No íntimo sempre me imaginei pai de uma filha com suas qualidades, meiga, inteligente, esforçada, curiosa pela vida e com grandes sonhos. É uma honra ser seu pai e sei pelo seu caráter e seus valores que você está pronta para vida.
Parabéns minha filha.
Minha filha que orgulho estar curtindo com você esse momento tão especial em sua vida . Sou privilegiada de poder estar ao seu lado, acompanhar seu crescimento e ver a mulher que está se tornando. Não há benção maior em minha vida do que o título que Deus me deu de ser sua mãe Te amo e te admiro muito. Menina meiga, doce, inteligente, uma guerreira com talento que fará de você uma vencedora em qualquer escolha que fizer.
Beijão com amor mamãe.
Gi, não sei se estou feliz ou triste que você vai sair da Chapel porque não vou ter mais ajuda para fazer a lição de matemática, mas também não vou ter mais “alguém” brigando e enchendo para acordar de manhã e não atrasar. Te desejo muita sorte nessa etapa da sua vida e saiba que te amo muito e vou estar sempre ao seu lado. Pode contar comigo sempre. No que você precisar.
Beijos do seu irmão Rapha
Oi Gi tudo bem ? Obrigada pelo seu apoio, obrigada por me buscar na classe. Eu sempre vou te contar tudo o que está acontecendo na Chapel e vou sentir muitas saudades. Espero que você goste da faculdade e se forme bem e se lembre sempre da Chapel.
Com amor, Valentina
Guilherme Luchetti
Meu filho, parabéns por mais essa conquista!!! Que seja próspero seu futuro com muitas realizações!!!
Seus pais
Júlia Bustamante Tolda
Nos seus olhos sou capaz de reconhecer a mesma menina curiosa, inquisitiva e atenta que soltou das minhas mãos no amarelo e embarcou na aventura de aprender a aprender. Você é luz por onde passa e vale muito a pena olhar a vida a partir dos seus olhos, que continuarão a trazer muitos sorrisos aos olhos meus. Te amo! Mami. Essa citação deveria estar gravada no yearbook inexistente da Class of ‘85 da EARJ: “Let the truth of love be lighted Let the love of truth shine clear”.
Pensando na etapa que você cumpre agora, vejo os valores do amor e da verdade incorporados em você. Mas lembre-se que a verdade sem amor serve apenas nosso ego. E o amor sem verdade cansa e se esvazia. Continue a brilhar com amor e verdade.
Amo-te! Papai
Eu estou orgulhosa de você e feliz por tudo que você foi capaz de atingir com sua dedicação e organização. Sei que você seguirá influenciando as pessoas ao seu redor! Você pode contar comigo para sempre. E a saudade que eu vou sentir de você vai ser a maior do mundo. Luli.
Lara, Larinha, Lala’ Laricota, Filha, depois de tantas mudanças, tantas escolas e culturas diferentes que você viveu, chegou a hora de você escolher seu próprio caminho. Quando olhamos para você hoje, vemos uma mulher linda, forte e decidida, de quem temos certeza de por onde passar vai brilhar e deixar marcas. Nossa linda princesa, você sempre será nossa Larinha, que desde pequenininha falava muito, se expressava e tinha suas próprias opiniões. Lara, você passou por 9 escolas em sua vida, sendo 5 delas foram em países diferentes e você foi incrível em todas elas. Por onde passou, fez amigos e foi sempre excelente aluna. Por tudo isso e muito mais, sabemos que você está preparada para encarar de frente esta nova fase da sua vida. Filha, mesmo sabendo da sua alegria e preparação; saiba que estaremos sempre aqui, para seus momentos de dúvida, insegurança, alegrias e tudo mais que precisar. Se quiser colo, grite, pois deixaremos qualquer coisa para te abraçar e te fazer sorrir. Vá Lalá, use suas asas para voar e brilhar em um céu sem limites. Te amamos milhões de vezes to the moon and back, como diz nosso Lucas. Não sei como finalizar este texto, pois poderia falar eternamente sobre você, mas encerro aqui, com um beijo no seu coração, um abraço muito apertado e dizendo, ” vá em frente, siga seu caminho...” Você será eternamente nossa Larinha. Lari, obrigada por me ensinar tudo que eu sei e por ser a minha melhor amiga. Você não entende a falta que vai fazer no meu dia a dia. Obrigada por ficar do meu lado pelos últimos 16 anos. Não sei o que seria da minha vida sem você. Vou ficar com saudades. Me liga sempre, love you.
Leo Kim
사랑하는 나의 아들 레오
선물처럼 우리에게 온 너,
어릴때부터 한번 사고도 없이 착하고 바르게 자라나줘서
너무나도 고맙게 생각한단다.
항상 우리 곁에서 공기처럼이나 늘 같이 있을 것 만
같았는데
어느덧 네가 스스로 선택하고 책임져야 하는 그런 시간이 온 것 같다.
물론,여전히 너를 믿고 잘 해내리라 믿는다
늘 네 꿈을 포기하지 말고, 늘 도전하고 네가 이루고 싶은 것을 꼭 이뤄 나가길 바란다
힘든 순간이 오고 어렵더라도
늘 우리가 함께 하는걸 잊지 말고 멀리 지내게 되더라도 더 가까운 우리가 되도록 노력하자. 지금까지 함께 해 온 시간 또 앞으로 함께 해 나갈 시간 하느님께 진심으로 감사 드리며 아들아, 사랑한다. 그리고 모든 것에 감사 한단다.
Leo, you made it! Cannot tell you how proud I am of my little bro. Desejo todo o sucesso a você, you deserve all the greatest things in life. I know that I have told you this many times, but I want to let you know that hard work pays off. Eu sei que às vezes da estresse estudar, mas é por isso que você tem que sair de vez em quando. Go party haha! It’s all about finding a balance. but anyways, eu sei que você vai ser um great architect!
Love you and miss you.
All the best, your very artsy sis.
Best Regards, Stephanie Kim
Letícia Reopell Vaselli
Nas praias de Natal escrevíamos quais nomes dar a essa menina que vinha ao mundo. A escolha foi certeira - Leticia que quer dizer alegria. E com essa alegria você vem tocando a sua vida e conquistando todos a sua volta. Seja na escola, seja no esporte ou seja na roda de amigos em todas as festas e shows que adora ir. Ao lado desta alegria, uma determinação sem limites para alcançar seus objetivos. Parabéns Leticia por mais essa conquista. A conclusão do 2o grau sempre nos traz muita satisfação e aquela dorzinha de barriga de como será o futuro. Se tiver medo, vai com medo mesmo. Se atire e tenha a mesma coragem que tem ao saltar dos blocos desse Brasil a fora e percorrer seus 50, 100 ou 200mts livres com toda a força que tem. O resultado não será diferente do que vem tendo até hoje. Vitórias e fracassos, que no somatório lhe fazem uma pessoa melhor, mais madura e mais preparada. Último, mas não menos importante, seja feliz e não abra mão disso: Life is a journey and not a destination. Sucesso Lele. Te amamos muito.
Luca Cherubim Ferracuti
Luca,
Filho amado, quanto orgulho, mais um ciclo concluído. Saímos do Brasil quando você acabava de fazer 5 anos. Enfrentou bravamente e com um imenso comprometimento o aprendizado de dois idiomas estrangeiros ao mesmo tempo. Tão pequenino e tão esforçado, aliás, sua grande característica é jamais desistir de nada. Já na reta final outro desafio se apresentou, uma nova escola e agora no Brasil, depois de 11 anos fora. Enfrentou de novo com a leveza e a determinação de sempre. Quanto aprendemos contigo, com suas leituras, suas curiosidades e sua cultura que admiramos. E seu carinho então, né? Nossa, como vamos sentir saudades do nosso café com bolo nos fins de tarde! Que sua nova jornada seja linda e feliz e jamais duvide de sua imensa determinação, ela te levará onde você desejar. Sempre estaremos aqui para te orientar e apoiar em todas as suas escolhas.
Te amamos infinitamente e até a eternidade.
Muitos beijos, Mamãe e Papai
Mano,
Sucesso na faculdade, te amo muito. Vou sentir saudades Giovanni
Maite Alonso Martinez
Morrocoyito, creciste, y rápido Te llegó la hora de volar tu propio vuelo, hacer tu propio camino, pero siempre hacelo buscando tú felicidad y tú crecimiento como buena persona Siempre te estaremos esperando “en casa” sea dónde sea Ésto no es una despedida, es un “hasta luego” Se está cerrando una etapa muy linda de tu vida, pero te quedan grandes amistades y recuerdos imborrables, y muchas cosas lindas y buenas están por llegar-Mamá
Sostener vacas con la mano, contar cuentos de pulguitas o enseñarte a prender fósforos todos tuvieron algo en común, recibir la mejor cara de atención que un padre puede tener. Nunca podré parar de sentir tus abrazos con la barriga apretada, aunque no lo sepas me dieron y me dan fuerzas cuando las necesito-Papá
Tenemos la gran fortuna de tener los mejores hijos que puedan existir y tenemos un súper orgullo de ustedes. Nosotros, papá, mamá e Iñaki, estaremos siempre cerca tuyo, cómo tú estarás cerca de nosotros, porque todos nos necesitamos y mucho Te adoramos, ñery!

I wish you all the best always, live your life fully and enjoy it! You know you can always count on me and I’ll be always around to make your eggs lol. Congratulations! I love you always and forever!
Mom
Filhão!
Difícil encontrar palavras para descrever a mescla de orgulho, felicidade, e angustia deste momento. Felicidade e orgulho por ter visto você se transformar num rapaz integro, forte e responsável, mas angustia por saber que em alguns meses a distância fará nosso convívio mais difícil (aguarde visitas-surpresa...!). Como seus colegas, você ainda irá passar por muitas provas, escolhas difíceis, e um longo processo de amadurecimento. Sabemos que está preparado, mas saiba que sempre poderá contar conosco quando precisar. Amamos muito você! Beijão! Papai
Pedro Henrique Aulicino Zagury
Para meu querido filho Pedro Henrique, nesta data em que termina e começa uma nova jornada! Vocês são a razão de tudo para nós.... “O am so glad you
And I are here to see
And hear and be . And I am more than glad that you are you.
How lonely I would be if you were not .....”
Que você seja sempre assim, íntegro! E que a felicidade seja sempre sua melhor companhia ! Te amo! Mamãe
Meu amado Filho
Você é e sempre foi motivo de alegria e orgulho para todos nós. Que sua vida seja sempre repleta de conquistas na certeza de que estamos aqui para apoiá-lo. Com amor do Papai
Pedro Henrique Bentes de Souza Lobo
Querido Pedro, Olhando para trás, doze anos se passaram em sua jornada na Chapel. Me lembro do seu primeiro dia de aula no 1st Grade, de uniforme social, pequeno mais já com forte personalidade. O nosso menino cresceu e hoje um ciclo se fecha. Você está vivendo um momento especial da sua vida, parabéns Pedro por conquistar esta etapa importante. A formatura é a sua primeira grande conquista. Outra fase se inicia, com grandes desafios
na sua vida acadêmica, e nesta nova etapa você terá a liberdade de escolher o seu próprio caminho, mais sozinho e independente. Se dedique na universidade pois ela servira de base para a conquista do seu sucesso profissional. Sabemos do seu potencial e acreditamos que suas futuras escolhas serão baseadas nos conceitos e princípios que nos te passamos ao longo destes 18 anos. Hoje você e um homem, lute por seus sonhos, se dedique, conquiste-os, e no seu caminho faça tudo com integridade e responsabilidade. Acreditamos em você e nós temos certeza que você terá um futuro promissor, mais nunca se esqueça dos valores que são importantes para a formação de um grande homem. Seja sério em seus propósitos e conseguirá tudo o que você quiser. Nós estaremos sempre ao seu lado, em qualquer situação, te apoiando em suas metas e objetivos, torcendo e rezando por você. Meu querido filho parabéns pela sua formatura, nós estamos orgulhosos de você, agora faça o que você gosta e escreva a sua história! Nós te desejamos muito sucesso e toda a felicidade do mundo! Que Deus te abençoe!
Com amor Papai e Mamãe
Rebecca Ashley Powels
My dearest Rebecca, It feels like just the other day when you were born. I remember all the milestones as if they were yesterday. We arrived 4 years ago in Brazil, and since then I have watched you face all the challenges head on, with grace and tenacity, and an inner strength which I am sure you did not realize that you had. Now we are at the end of your school career.
A journey that started at Chapel, continued to St Georges, Theodore Hertzl, and finally back to Chapel. Each stage has taught you something, and provided opportunity for growth, sometimes not easy, but always a life lesson learned. I am amazed and proud of the young lady that you are. These are things I should tell you more often, not just on occasions such as this. As you stand on the brink of the rest of your life:
Behind you, all your memories.
Before you, all your dreams.
Around you, all who love you.
Within you, all you need.
Congratulations my precious child, may God bless you and continue to guide you and be your strength. Always remember how proud we are of you. Love you eternally!
Mom
Bex. I remember taking you to Chapel Pre School in 2006 where you cried every morning for 9 months when I left you there! And now you are a beautiful girl who has achieved so much and has developed so much.
You are my star.

Renata Faria Lima Opice Blum
Querida filha,
Nos custa acreditar que esse dia tão importante chegou. É verdade, sempre imaginamos, mas não achávamos que chegaria tão rápido. Tata, parece que foi ontem seu primeiro dia de aula na Chapel. Você estava linda com aquele vestidinho azul. Andamos com você de mãos dadas até a sua classe. Vivemos aquela mistura de sentimentos e ansiedade. Será que você iria gostar? Será que daria tudo certo? Só podíamos rezar e pedir que tudo desse certo. E deu! A resposta está aqui. Você está encerrando com esplendor esses anos de escola e aprendizado. Admiramos sua força, sua persistência, seu carinho com todos, seu coração. Só temos que agradecer a Deus o privilégio de tê-la como nossa filha e poder compartilhar cada etapa da sua vida com você. Saiba que estaremos sempre ao seu lado. Aproveite minha filha, seu futuro será lindo e abençoado. Curta cada momento, se esforce, acredite, nunca desista e sempre tenha fé. Temos muito, mas muito orgulho de ti. Orgulho da pessoa que se tornou. Te amamos incondicionalmente e para sempre! Nossa pequena, seja muito feliz! E que venha a faculdade! Com muito amor, papai e mamãe!
"Mas os que confiam no SENHOR recebem sempre novas forças. Voam nas alturas como águias, correm e não perdem as forças, andam e não se cansam." - Isaías 40:31
Ricardo Daher Nahas
Rick,
Enfim chegou o tão esperado momento. Sabemos que você contou os meses, semanas, dias, minutos e segundos para os seus 18 anos. Sempre com pressa, correndo antes do tempo. Com um ano e meio já pegava a mochila e se escondia atrás da porta tentando ir à escola com o Rô. Quanta energia! Na hora certa chegou feliz à Chapel, se entrosou com facilidade, fez amigos verdadeiros e aproveitou cada instante intensamente. Filho, que a sua alegria de viver e a sua disponibilidade com todos te acompanhe sempre, e te ajude a ir ao encontro dos seus sonhos. Love you. Mamãe e Papai
Rick,
Parabéns pela sua formatura, muito sucesso no vestibular e nas outras fases que virão. Tenho certeza que com a sua inteligência e o seu carisma você vai atingir todos seus sonhos e objetivos! Te amo e "is we”, Rô
Riquito,
Cada dia mais feliz em ver o serzinho que vi nascer se transformar num “menino grande” com bons valores, querido e amado por todos. O que quiser na sua vida faça com o coração e amor! Te amo amore. Tia Marcinha.
Rodrigo Santos Pinto Silva
Você caiu do céu, um anjo lindo que apareceu...
Jamais poderíamos imaginar, que a música que escolhemos para tema de seu nascimento, pudesse descrever tão precisamente o ser de luz que você é. Meu coração pulou, você chegou e nos deixou assim...com os pés fora do chão! Correndo pela casa, brigadeiro, bolinho de aipim...
Falando pouco e enrolado, pique pega, pique esconde...
Ruim de bola, excelente nadador, corrida, bike ...
Mar, sol, surf...menino do Rio.
Inteligência aguçada, determinação obstinada...
Amigo para toda vida!
Pra renovar meu ser faltava mesmo chegar você...
O sorriso cativante, entusiasmo vibrante, carinhoso com todos!
Sensível, forte, família!
Me olha, me toca, me faz sentir... que é hora agora de você ir...
Voa RÔ...voe alto, a juventude é preciosa
Sonha RÔ...só têm sonhos realizados quem sonha
Desfruta RÔ...melhor do que chegar é curtir a viagem
Luz cintilante, estrela forma de gente, invasor do planeta amor... você nos conquistou!
Mamãe, papai, Mari

My beloved son, Josh
It's been already 3 years since we came to Brazil.
When we moved in this new and big country and started new life, it was a great challenge and big change. When looking back the past days, there were so many disputes and challenges for you. As a mom I challenged and pushed a lot because there was different understanding each other and eventually you became the highest grade of school.
hope your days in Brazil will be a good ground stone for your life. And I want you to be happiest son in the world. am really proud of your stand on and successful work.
want to give you a big hug my son.

Parabéns Sophia! No sólo estás terminando tu secundaria, sino que también estás realizando tu sueño de terminarla en Brasil, en un colegio internacional. En tu caso es la comprobación de que la realización de sueños es posible. Que satisfactorio es ver como culminas tu sueño con cariño, determinación, respeto hacia ti misma y hacia el otro, con responsabilidad y con muchos momentos de alegria compartida. Y qué agradecimiento ver que terminas una fase importante en tu vida y partirás para una nueva un poco más sabia, fortalecida y enriquecida por todas las vivencias con amigos, trabajadores y profesores cariñosos y de valiosos principios! Que Dios Dios te bendiga y mucho fundamento!
Tu Mamushka! Liebe Sophia, ich bin super stolz auf Dich und ich finde es toll, wie Du mit den Herausforderungen in Deinem Leben umgehst! Jetzt beginnt für Dich eine neue Phase und dafür wünsche ich Dir alles erdenklich Gute. Ich werde Dich in unserem täglichen Leben vermissen, hab Dich sehr lieb, Dein Papsch

Sports
Young Trojans Boys
In February of this school year, Chapel launched the much anticipated Young Trojans Athletics Program which became an overnight success. Through this program, 3rd to 6th grade students not only get to practice team sports daily, but they also have the opportunity to try out different sports and play friendly games against other schools. There were both coed and boys and girls teams offered in basketball, volleyball, soccer and cheer-leading. The opportunity for students to practice appropriate interactions, fair play and teamwork are at the heart of The Young Trojans program which was initiated by our athletic director Bruno Pereira. There are four further important goals in mind: increasing the offering of team sports to ES students, having 3rd to 6th graders practice sports that they will have the opportunity to compete in as HS students and bringing families together which reinforces Chapel’s commitment of building a sense of community.

Aula de Atualidades
Advisor: Mr. Erico Padilha
O clube “Aula de Atualidades”, que se reúne sempre às quartas-feiras, das 15:15 às 16:15 na sala 27, tem por objetivo expandir o conhecimento dos alunos sobre temas relevantes que afetam as esferas política, econômica, social e ambiental do país e do mundo. A proposta dos encontros é proporcionar aos participantes uma abordagem multidisciplinar, mesclando áreas do conhecimento, para prepará-los para os vestibulares brasileiros.
No último semestre de 2018, o impacto das fake news que circularam durante o período das eleições foi o tema mais debatido nos encontros. Os estudos e as discussões sobre o tema contribuíram para que os alunos pudessem, por exemplo, ter um bom desempenho na redação do Enem cujo tema foi: “Manipulação do comportamento do usuário pelo controle de dados na internet”. A aposta para este ano é que, em decorrência da tragédia ocorrida com o rompimento da barragem em Brumadinho, a temática sobre os impactos ambientais do acidente e as políticas públicas de sustentabilidade assumam lugar de destaque nos vestibulares. Os alunos que participaram este ano são: Julia Maria Anoardo, Pietra Kouri, Guilherme Luchetti, Lina Mourad, Natalie Rotem, and Pedro Zagury.

Our young students had fun and learned through play. Some favorite activities were planting flowers, making fruit skewers, delicious Spring and Easter picnics, Art workshops, “Trick-or-Treating”, a delicious Thanksgiving lunch and reflections, love and friendship card exchanges as well as dressing up for several of these events. Very exciting also were visits from a mischievous Leprechaun, who left golden chocolate coin treasures for students and from the Easter bunny who left delicious chocolate eggs and footprints everywhere. Some very special moments were the parent presentations about different countries and cultures (a special thank you to all families that took us on this amazing journey!) and a lovely Mother's Day activity in the classroom.

Pep Rally
The high school Pep Rally takes place every semester to show school spirit and boost student-athletes` confidence and mindsets in preparation for the Big 8 and Big 4 tournaments.

This year, some activities were: crazy race, knowledge bowl, dodgeball, keep ups (embaixadinha), hula hoops, capture the flag and everyone's favorite, bubble soccer. Students competed against teachers in some of the activities which was so much fun. The pep rally teams are usually made up of 7th, 9th and 11th graders, against 8th, 10th and 12th graders. The best thing about the pep rally is the interaction between the entire Chapel H.S. community, regardless of their grade which builds a sense of united school spirit. On the day of the pep rally, StuCo officers are responsible for decorating the court and running the whole event. Even though the pep rally demands months of work ahead of time, seeing everyone having fun makes it all worthwhile.
7th Grade Fun Night
7th grade fun night is an event to welcome 7th graders to High School. It helps them build a relationship with StuCo officers from all grades who can help them in their first months as high schoolers. The 7th graders chose the theme, and the StuCo officers organize it. This year the theme was colors! 7th Grade Fun Night starts at 7 pm, and besides the StuCo officers and the 7th graders, some teachers are also invited. StuCo organizes the event in the best way possible so that everyone enjoys it, especially the 7th graders. There is a DJ playing, party lights, and incredible food like chocolate fountain, popcorn, hotdog and others. There are StuCo run activities to build community, such as shoe dance, chair dance and even a parade - depending on the theme - and free time for the 7th graders to initiate activities they want.
Chapel Day
StuCo organizes this event to celebrate Chapel’s anniversary and this year festivities were for for High School only. It was an afternoon with several activities and delicious food. It started with superlatives that the students voted on throughout the week. The superlatives included: best laugh, funniest teacher, teacher bromance among others. Some StuCo officers presented a 'Chapel song' which was a parody of the "Cups" song, from the movie Pitch Perfect. After that, everyone sang happy birthday to Chapel, and then they had free time to chill, eat and talk. There was delicious food too! There were pães de queijo, doughnuts, cake, brigadeiro and much more. Besides this amazing event, StuCo hosted a clothing drive. They collected tons of clothes, which they donated to charity. It's always fun to celebrate Chapel's anniversary, and amazing to see StuCo officers working hard and enthusiastically to organize this event.
International Festival
This yearly event took place on March 31st and involved the whole community in celebration of Chapel’s legacy of internationalism and diversity. There were 24 countries represented in 21 booths - including the debut participation of a few countries such as China, which beautifully showcased the countries’ unique delicacies and culture. Food, drink, dance, traditional dress and folk arts are central to this great party which is organized by parents and volunteers and brings over a thousand people together every year. Another highlight of this year’s celebration was the charitable initiative promoted by elementary students. They sold coasters made by students in the CARES program in the Makerspace.The revenue from this was donated to Chapel-sponsored charities.

Arts
The Arts at Chapel in the 2018-2019 school year was impressive!!! All the activities in ECEC were geared towards the creative, social and cognitive development of students, while developing their knowledge about the elements of art. Imagination was the focus in every class as students had the opportunity to express themselves by painting, drawing, pasting and creating art work with great pride and dedication. During Art classes in Elementary School, students were exposed to many types of material and techniques. They were able to develop skills using elements such as lines, shapes, color, value, texture, form, and space. Students also built a sense of art appreciation through a variety of lessons in different genres. In High School we had many interdisciplinary Art projects and skill improvement activities such as the one carried out cross curricularly with Portuguese and English classes. In these interdisciplinary units, students worked closely with Visual Arts. Also across content areas. Publications students were able to produce yearbook pages and Trojan Horse magazine pages! In conjunction with French students are creating projects using our new Makerspace room. Additionally, Computer Literacy students did projects exploring Adobe Illustrator, and in Visual Arts students produced pieces such as a folder painted in acrylic paint, and also Casual Self Portrait canvases. Through Mirror Reflections and the Double Meaning, students also had the opportunity to create their own canvas! Our Field Trip to Bienal was really rich due to the new format of varied curators which inspired students to produced impressive Visual Poems! We also had great ceramics with creative glazing!! The IB Art show brought the community together to appreciate the results of IB Artists' hard work! Way to Go Chapel School Artists!!!!
Talent Show
The Elementary Talent Show took place on September 28th, 2018 and counted on 51 performances from students in 1st to 5th grades. Students in 6th grade were involved with the organization, backstage and the evening’s bake sale. The presentations included playing instruments, dancing, poetry reading, presenting science experiments and mime.
World Book Day
On April 25th and 26th, aiming at stimulating students’ passion for reading and connection to books, Chapel organized activities for Pre I - 6th grades in celebration of the UNESCO World Book Day, (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). The official celebration was on April 23rd, a date in which two great writers, William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes, passed away. Students, teachers and staff were encouraged to dress up as characters from books they love. Students also were encouraged to do projects related to books they have read or had reading buddies from other grades. In elementary school a D.E.A.R (Drop Everything and Read) session was held on the field. Storytelling and drama workshops were also offered to elementary students by special guest author Gu Braga.

Chapel Community Outreach: Santo
Eugênio Ensino Integral, Our Sister School
In the beginning of 2019 we proudly inaugurated the Santo Eugênio full time preschool. This was the culmination of years of hard work on a project to build a state of the art school to serve young children from low-income families by offering the highest quality education within optimal facilities. Located in Americanopólis, the southern region of the city of São Paulo, the new school occupies an area of 1800 m2 with 610 m2 of built areas. It currently serves 120 children, ages 3 to 5, who were selected through CRAS, Reference Center for Social Assistance. The location was chosen because it is one of the most underserved areas in the city and therefore serves the goal of the Oblate Fathers to invest in quality education for children who could not otherwise afford it. It is our core belief that these individuals will make a significant difference in the world. The classroom, library and cafeteria infrastructures as well as the pedagogical approach are on par with the quality offered at Chapel, making Santo Eugenio our sister school.
