Yearbook - Class of 2021

A Touch of Gold

A Touch of Gold

After the year we have all experienced, the theme “A Touch of Gold” was chosen to reflect a ray of hope. The color gold represents illumination, love, compassion, and wisdom, all of which reflect the Chapel community now more than ever. This year the yearbook will capture all of the essential moments throughout the 2020-2021 school year, including the good, the bad, and everything in between. This has been a year of change, of improvement, and of adaptations. After going through such a difficult time, the yearbook was something that could not be left out, as it provides a sense of normalcy among so much uncertainty. Hopefully this yearbook will bring the students together after they have spent so much time apart. Hopefully, it will add “a touch of gold” to such a challenging year.

Definition of Learning

Chapel School defines Learning as a unique and lifelong process sparked by the interests, curiosities, interactions, and experiences of the individual. It builds on previous knowledge and leads to making meaningful connections. It is the process of understanding and acquiring knowledge, skills and dispositions as well as being able to apply them to different settings and contexts. It involves learner development as a whole addressing social, emotional, cognitive and physical dimensions. Learning has the higher purpose to positively impact society.

Definition of Internationalism

Chapel School is an accepting and inclusive environment that respects and embraces cultural uniqueness and diversity. We seek to create an open-minded community while making connections among different perspectives, beliefs, and nationalities to promote a sustainable future in all its dimensions.

2020-2021 Timeline

Students started another school year completely online on August 10th. Students, staff members, and parents adapted to a new and necessary way of learning.

September July

August

Chapel’s administration undertook to prepare the school for receiving students back on campus. In line with health protocols, polycarbonate shields were installed on all desks, arrows were put on the floors to coordinate pedestrian traffic, hand-sanitizer dispensers were installed around the school, and a whole new system of ‘people transit’ was put in place.

The school building was ready to receive the students back to classes on campus.

Schools were allowed to open for extracurricular activities under certain conditions. On October 13th, students started after school activities, while Seniors returned to campus for the first time in a while for their mock exams. As per governmental decree, 20 percent of our students were allowed to be on campus.

October November

Some classes continued to remain on campus, except in cases where someone in the class tested positive. Then the entire class returned to remote learning for a 14day quarantine period.

Classes adjourned on December 15th for the summer break.

December

January

After a month of vacation, classes resumed on January 20th. The second semester of the school year started with 35 percent of students on campus, though online classes remained an option for those students who wished to work from home. The school organized a schedule in which Pre I students would come everyday, while all other grade levels would rotate and come two or three times per week.

Each grade level was able to come to campus two or three days per week following the 35 percent capacity allowance. Students had a three-day break for Carnival.

Feburary

March

São Paulo entered into the ‘red phase’ of the Plano São Paulo. On March 8th all after school extracurricular activities on campus were suspended until further notice. São Paulo entered the most severe phase of the pandemic to date and all classes again transitioned to remote learning.

On April 12th classes on campus were allowed again to receive 35 percent of students on campus.

End of the 20202021 school year on June 11th.

April

May

On May 3rd, optional on-campus after school extracurricular activities resumed. Students participated in different activities (up to 35 percent of the student body as mandated by the authorities).

Principals

“During this pandemic year I was able to verify more clearly that, despite the difficulties that each of us has faced, the sacred in each person, and in each child, has remained intact. Our lessons on Zoom, and on campus, have been rich, happy, and very productive. Together we have been able to maintain faith and confidence in the future, and in ourselves.” - Ms. Ana Lucia Dias

“Staying away from people I love, like my mother and my stepfather with whom I used to spend long and lazy Sunday afternoons on the veranda, has been a painful challenge. The constant fear of being contaminated or contaminating my loved ones is still a shadow hanging over me all the time. I deal with this kind of anguish by searching for connections. During this time, I started to pay more attention to my body, my rhythms, and the cycles of nature. Despite the physical distance, this has allowed me to connect with different people, people outside of my ‘bubble’. I was amused last week to realize that my karate sensei is from Goiania and my yoga instructor is in Florianópolis. I hope this ‘newly-opened door’ does not close after this pandemic ends.” - Ms. Erika Ferreira

“This has been the most challenging year yet, with so many uncertainties, changes, and losses. All this hardship has allowed us to take a moment and reconsider what is truly important to each one of us. For me it has been faith, family, friends, community, and health. The “Touch of Gold” that brightened up my days was definitely my students’ smiles and conversations in our daily morning meetings. One specific morning during our first semester, I heard news that my father, who had been hospitalized due to covid, would have to go through a high-risk medical procedure. I was feeling sad and worried. However, as soon as I started the morning meeting, the smiles and positive energy my students brought suddenly made everything inside of me feel at peace. Somehow I felt everything would be okay. Whenever one of the students showed up looking a little gloomy, we would encourage and lift each other’s spirits! I am very grateful for my students and the encouraging community we were able to build together, especially this school year.” - Ms.

“My Touch of Gold were the students’ smiles and cheery dispositions, their eagerness to participate. Students always having random stories to share brought laughter and happiness to our lessons.

I learned that it’s okay to ‘break the mold’. To embrace innovative learning and not let routines dictate our practice. The importance of it is being together as a school, as a home, and as a community. We need each other to make it happen.” - Ms. Maria Hernandez

“Oh, wow, so much happened this past year! First, living through a pandemic was startling, alarming, intimidating, and changed our routines, habits, and lives entirely. The settled uncertainty and not being able to plan ahead and for the future was a challenge. Learning about different learning models and dedicating time to design and develop our remote and hybrid learning programs was fundamental. After all, who had expected that the pandemic would have lasted for this long? Gratitude for all in our community, the comfort of our homes, the technology available, for equipped classrooms, and the personal protective equipment we all own, to name a few. Appreciation for our health and the time spent with our loved ones. Mental, emotional, physical, and social resilience have never been as visible as during the pandemic. We were all daily challenged and yet had faith, strength, hope, and optimism that better days were to come. Finally, the COVID-19 vaccine has arrived and is undoubtedly a touch of gold. Thankfully, now, more than ever, we can look ahead to the future with our hearts filled with hope for our lives and the life of others, with the expectation that soon we will be able to hold hands again!” - Ms. Juliana Menezes

“There are times in life when we have to do things without having a say in them, and then there are times in life when we can choose what to do. We do these things with passion, love, and a lot of dedication! We have no control over this pandemic, but we can choose to take care of ourselves and be as safe as possible. I did have a choice to make our Art classes happen remotely or in person, and I am happy to have made the best of them! We prepared individual ‘Art kits’ for the students with a lot of love! Students have been able to produce their art in a variety of media with great success! Way to go, student artists! Art may not save lives, but it sure feeds the soul! “ - Ms. Sylvia Almeida

“Resiliência, perseverança e a certeza de que tudo daria certo. Esse foi o meu mantra para sobreviver a cada dia de um ano tão turbulento e repleto de incertezas. O toque de ouro esteve o tempo todo nas pontas dos meus dedos, em cada toque no teclado. Vi um mundo diferente pela tela do computador. E quantas descobertas fui capaz de fazer! O isolamento me ensinou a “olhar” para perceber melhor tudo que nos rodeia, e me deixou ainda mais convicta de como é importante a interação face a face. Tomara que tão logo possamos “ver” com outros olhos o que o Universo ainda nos reserva.” - Ms. Adriana Alves

“Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with an adhesive mix of powdered gold. It reveals an object’s history, the processes it has gone through. Symbolically, it represents resilience and the strength in accepting and transforming one’s flaws. During this last year, many things were broken; we found ourselves separated from our loved ones. Isolated, many of our internal tensions and flaws rose to the surface. Now we have an opportunity to accept ourselves, look inwards, and strive to mend those broken pieces so tomorrow we can put our stronger and more resilient selves in service of those in need.” - Mr. Caio Gragnani

“It goes without saying that this has been a challenging year. A school is a close-knit community, and it has been difficult to maintain that closeness over the months of working from home. My touch of gold has been the opportunity to come back on campus, to speak with people face to face, to meet new students that I had only seen on a computer screen, and to start bringing that tightly-knit aspect back to the Chapel family. There’s nothing better than seeing the students having fun with each other in between classes and for me to share a lunch table with my coworkers. We may not yet be back to normal, but I can see the golden rays on the horizon.” - Mr. Benjamin Vaughan

This year showed us how powerful and strong we can be when we work together and how everything is possible when we all try our best. We were physically distant for most of our year together, but never ever emotionally distant. We created bonds, we helped each other and, through this intense process, we experienced learning with lots of love, joy and resilience. Thank you! Love, Ms. Manu and Ms. Ste

Dearest Pre II, This was a very different year in so many ways. We had Zoom classes, we had to wear masks, we had to keep our distance from one another, and we could not have our friends all together at school. It was not the way we wanted it to be and it was hard. But you should know that you did a great job! You were patient and persistent and learned so much! We are proud to see how much you have grown! And we were very happy to have you in our Pre II! You will always have a special place within our hearts! Love from your teachers, Ms. Natasha and Ms. Luísa

You made our days brighter and happier, helping each other to navigate this very challenging moment we are going through. It has been an enormous pleasure to help you learn letters, sounds, numbers, and so many other things. But most of all it was a blessing learning from you how to keep our lives joyful through every song, game, and conversation we shared! I miss you all already!!

Oh, what an amazing year this has been! It was more like an adventure, if you ask me. We got to be pirates and sail the ‘Zoom seas’ together. Then we were pilots and each of us, in our own bubble spaceships, got to discover space and accomplish missions together. More importantly, we faced challenges and together we beat aliens, monsters, and viruses. We conquered unknown lands together and we won! You all did! No one and nothing can stop us now! Ms. Nathy and I loved having you in our classroom! Your smiles brightened our day, every day!

Dear 2nd Graders, This was for sure the craziest school year we’ve ever had, but it was definitely one of the most amazing! Because of the pandemic, we started the school year remotely and we couldn’t welcome you to 2nd Grade with a warm, tight hug. However, that didn’t seem to be a problem because you have always been so kind and understanding! One of the happiest days of the year was when we finally had the chance to meet in person. Thank you for being such great students and human beings. Throughout an entire year you made our days brighter and our hearts warmer. We hope we were able to do the same for you. Now you’re off to 3rd grade and we are sure you’re going to rock it! Good luck! Love, Ms. Stella and Mr. Caleb

All through our Crazy Hair Morning Meetings, as well as Chef Pasquale’s Science class, we had an amazing year together. We will miss you so much!

Love, Ms. Melissa and Ms. Anna

Hello Fifth Graders, Thanks for being a great group during a challenging year! You all grew, made progress, learned new things, and shared memories together as a community. We will all remember this year for a long time. It was wonderful being a part of your 5th Grade ‘remote’, ‘hybrid’, and ‘in-person’ learning this year. I will miss you all a lot next year. Good luck in 6th Grade! You will always be remembered as the 5th Grade Class from Chapel who got a shout-out from Carl Azuz on CNN10!

From 5th Grade Breakfast Club every morning discussing everything from favorite pizza toppings, insects we don’t like, sports, pets, musical entertainment, and marvel comic heroes like Captain America...

...to the challenge of adding fractions with unlike denominators, reading groups with novels like Stormbreaker, and having Carl Azuz giving a shout out for Chapel School…

....every moment was GOLDEN!

From the moment I entered Chapel School, I felt a heart-warming and welcoming feeling from all its community members. In 6th Grade the students have shown to be a tight-knit group of genuinely happy and hardworking kids that are well-spoken, very technologically-proficient and noticeably curious to learn. During these challenging times they have also surprised me with their grit by continuing to hand in assignments and finish work (sometimes until late at night). This proves the excellent mentality they have shown in this second semester. It is clear they are a group poised to take on all the challenges the High School will throw at them. I am more than convinced these bright young kids will astonish everyone with their knowledge and technological capabilities. Sad to see them go so soon but glad to see them move on and prove their worth. Good luck and don’t be a stranger! Come and visit us whenever you can. I will miss you dearly! Kind regards, Mr. Stoops

The biggest lesson I learned this year was that my 6th Grade students are quite skilled at editing screenshots of me while I am teaching. Please see here some highlights of our year. Mr. Weaver

Mãe e Pai: Eu não seria nada sem o incentivo de vocês. Obrigada por todas as oportunidades e por me apoiarem em tudo. Eu amo vocês! Bru: Keep doing what you’re doing so that you’ll get to great places. But stop with the sweaty post-basketball practice hugs. I love you. Ba: You were always by my side no matter what. And, no, you can’t keep my room. I love you, mini me. Tolda: Thank you for all the advice I never took, reminding me to turn in assignments, sticking by my side even in the sketchiest of situations, and being my best friend. I don’t know what high school would have been like without you. With all that stubbornness, I know you’ll do amazing things no matter where you go. I’ll visit you even if you’re in Texas, I promise. I love you. Cathe: You didn’t stay in school for long, but you’ll be a part of my life forever. I wouldn’t trade our nights out, bad decisions, endless laughter, and long talks for anything. Thank you for being my best friend. You made these years happier, I love you so much. Jojo & Lexia: Thanks for taking me in and getting me to laugh through my worst times. I love you, gringas. Rafa: Even with the distance, you insisted on being a part of my life. Thanks for knowing how to turn my mood around and always being there for me. I love you, bobo. Bobby & Somin: Why did we take Math HL again? I’ll miss struggling with you guys. Alexia: I’ll miss you looking confused during our classes. Thanks for your hilarious rants and constantly relatable mood. Chora, me liga. Antonella: Your crazy stories kept life interesting and you always knew how to make anyone feel better about themselves. I’ll miss you :) StuCo: Four whole years fighting over who was going to be the Trojan and if candy was allowed or not in the Bake Sales. Good luck with everything. MUN: You guys made conferences worth the work. I’ll miss our trips with the excuse of “debating”. Thanks for everything. Follow-ups are not an order. Ms. B: Three years in your English class and I’m glad I never got switched out. Thank you for believing in me even when I didn’t. I’ll miss you. Mr. Bell: Thanks for being so caring. You made the best out of the whole online situation and I’ll never forget it :) Also, I’m sorry for being so bad at ASMA. Mr.Helverson: Thanks for being understanding even when I was failing out of Math. You made me enjoy the subject more than I thought I could. Wishing you the best always. Mr.Vaughan: From MUN to EE advisor, thanks for all your support throughout school. Also, thanks for managing to stay around until our graduation. I’ll miss you.

Best Chapel memory: Big 8

Antonella Valbuena

Plans after Chapel: Become a CEO, travel and spend time with those I love the most. The best thing of this school year: The school trip to Brasilia, being able to spend more time with my family, and finishing the IB Diploma

Mamá y Papá: No tengo palabras para agradecer el apoyo incondicional que me han dado desde siempre. Por todas nuestras conversaciones, por haber aguantado mi mal humor cuando estaba estresada y ansiosa por el colegio. Papá: Tú has sido mi inspiración todos estos años y seguro voy a trabajar contigo cuando sea grande. Mamá: admiro todos los días como haces para ser la CEO de nuestra familia y cuidarnos a todos con tanto amor. Gracias por haber estado siempre pendientes de mí, especialmente en este viaje agotador pero muy gratificante. ¡Los amo mucho! Vii: Amiga, I have no words to express my gratitude for having you as my friend, thanks for all the time we spent together and I will miss you a lot. Love you! Nina, Trompy and So: I loved having spent these years with you all. We had incredible memories and we certainly will keep in touch for the rest of our lives. Lexi, Tolds and Amandinha: I love you so much. Thanks for the funniest moments I had at school, especially in Brasilia during the bus rides and the free time we had and spent dancing, singing, and making Tik Toks. I will miss you a lot every day! Me mel: I remember our first day at school. Who knew we were going to make such a strong friendship in a short time? Thank you for being this wonderful person that cheers up my days and suffers homework along with me. BCF: Without you I don’t know what I would have done during these years. You became my best friend for life and I am grateful for all our laughs, jokes and long night talks. Thanks for everything! Mr. Plain: Thank you for being the best EE advisor I could ever have. I learned more than I could have imagined not only in that process but also in your classes. Ms. Bidoli: Thank you for helping me every time I needed you the most. I am going to miss you a lot! I also wanted to say thank you to all my teachers who helped me to walk through this path over the days. I learned many things from you and for sure I will remember you forever. I hope in the future to be a person who carries all the values and teachings that I acquired at Chapel. Class of 2021: We did it! Thank you for everything.

Arthur Almeida

Favorite sport: Soccer and Futsal.

Best Chapel memory: BRAMUN 2019, but THIMUN 2020 and Foz are definite honorable mentions

Plans after Chapel: Become an epidemiologist, write a book, help to cure epidemics and help others.

The best thing of this school year: Returning to in-person classes

I thought it would be best to say what I had to say to each individual personally. So instead I wrote for the groups I met or was a part of these years. Mãe e Pai: Eu posso dizer com certeza que eu não poderia ter pais melhores. Vocês sempre se esforçaram não só para eu ter uma vida boa, mas para que eu me tornasse uma boa pessoa, sempre reforçando a importância de se importar com os outros. Vocês faziam questão de sempre ter tempo para me ajudar ou até para conversar comigo. Qualquer coisa que eu fizer daqui pra frente, e tudo que eu sou, é graças a vocês. Eu queria que vocês soubessem que eu sei o quanto vocês me amam. E que eu amo vocês também, e muito. Ye and the Boys: It’s almost insulting to call you my friends because we’re practically family at this point. I’ve known all of you for 14 years, and each year that passed I became more convinced that I was lucky to be friends with you all. I can be myself with you like I can’t be with almost any other group of people, even when we make fun of each other or disagree. We’ve all been through so much over the years and have so many stories to tell, and I just wanted to say thank you for everything. Here’s to more stories ahead of us. MUN: I was reluctant to join MUN at first, but I eventually came through. That was one of my best decisions. I could talk about so much, from the beautiful places we went to, to all the fun I had defending some position I didn’t even agree with. But the biggest takeaway from MUN was definitely the people. All the new friendships I made, all the conversations I had, and all of the memories I made are things I will always hold dear. At first I was sad my time in MUN got cut short by quarantine, but looking back at all of the wonderful things we went through, I can say I have nothing to be sad about. Class of 2021: It wasn’t until recently that it hit me that I’d have to say goodbye to all of you. At first, all I could think about was how much I was going to miss Chapel, especially you. That made me realize how big a part of my life you have been. I didn’t want to have to say goodbye to this group of people with whom I have shared such good memories, especially because our senior year was cut short. But as time went on, I realized that every part of our lives, including this one, naturally ends. And that makes it all the more beautiful. I wish things could have ended differently than they had, but that’s not important. It doesn’t overshadow how good all my years with you guys were, and it shouldn’t. Because I feel like there’s no better group of people to have spent the start of my life with. So thank all of you, and see you soon.

The most important thing in my life is my family, as they have all been with me since I was born. I know you are going to support me when I am in need and I am going to support you when you are in need. I am extremely grateful for my parents choosing to give me an exceptional education, which I am certain was a good investment. I love you, Ale and José. I am extremely thankful for the education you gave me at home, which set my moral values and manners and made me be the person I am today. Even though we argue all the time I love you and I know you love me. I love you, Dinda, and I adore you, Nonna. Dining out and having conversations with you both is the best. I cherish you, Jidu, and love discussing politics and history with you. I admire you the most, Moema and Firmino. Even though I never got to meet you properly I know you were great people and you will always be in my heart. Even though school was stressful at times,I was able to balance my social and academic life. I have to congratulate my friends for going through all of this with me and making the moments more joyful. My plan after graduation is to study business administration.

Best Chapel memory: Bus ride coming back from Foz. Plans after Chapel: Use my free time to write fiction The best thing of this school year: Graduating

“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” - Mark Twain A message to the class of 2021 by Enzo Menghini

In life’s teather, ignore the portentous squall, Instead, hear the bells tinkle, tinkle in thy heart; Be the leader, not the placid piddling cattle, Have the wit to persist and the courage to start.

If a boulder shutters thy dazzling glasshouse Carry on! tis nothing but a cheese to a mouse, This is the gift of life, things always get pleasant, Therefore, live not in the past, but in the present.

Remember to always be incredibly fair; Do not judge anyone by the clothes they wear, Paint gold to the rotting dark flowers, And spread the beauty of love hour after hour.

For time awakens with the glittering sun today; O’er the foggy mountains time fleets away, The pendulum swivels, thou it is never late, For the first peak has been reached, but the clouds await!

Best Chapel memory: My best Chapel memory occurred in an unexpected location: a bus while we were returning from Foz do Iguaçu. The day seemed forgettable; the constant movement from one vehicle to another made students and teachers look like zombies, with bags under the eyes and the pace of a turtle. Furthermore, outside of the bus, beams of lightning flashed, and the concrete jungle of São Paulo brought never-ending traffic. However, there was music and good-hearted people all around, and when there is that you do not need anything else. Soon enough, the power of a small JBL speaker located close to the bus’s chemical bathroom made Freddy Mercury’s music run through everyone’s veins. Students and teachers rocked out while singing the best that the 1980s could offer. At that moment, I knew that a memory was being meticulously crafted, a memory that not only I could taste, but one that everyone had the opportunity to take part in. Perhaps that’s why people say, “Life would be a mistake without music.” For this reason, I would like to thank you for participating in this memorable event. This moment will certainly leave its “footprints on the sands of time.” Plans after Chapel: I believe everyone will use this space to express their desires for greatness. I have a different plan. I will let life’s uncertainty be an orchestra to my ears, let a ‘love of fate’ be my philosophy. I hope that I don’t take life too seriously, as school makes it seem so important. A “man reaches maturity when he has regained the seriousness that he had as a child at play,” and not when he cries for getting a low grade. That about it sums it up. I will make a difference in other people’s lives. The best thing of this school year: It is hard to pinpoint a moment that has stood out for me in this school year. Perhaps it might be that I have been taking my mental-health more seriously. Special thanks to: My mother: I’ll pay tribute to your loveliness with this short rhyme:

When the gray clouds cried in pain and anorexic birds sang in vain, I didn’t tremble, for I was not alone, there was always another. An angel that brightens my day like a sun ray, the one I’m glad to call my mother.

Ye and the Boys and Tea Boys: I did not realize you were fading from sight. However, I thought to myself, friendship never disappears for it is always near. Friendship never falls apart, for it’s like diamond, always glittering in one’s heart. For this reason, I collect and shall never forget; your smiles, that made me have company in the deserted isles. And I will remember you till the end for being the greatest of friends. *Ps. Tea Boys, I promise to be the DM in the next D&D campaign.

Mami/Papi: gracias por todo. Por toda la ayuda que me dieron irrelevante de lo que me merecía. You guys always put up with me. Love you always. Jquan stella XL (...): From you I learned most of my social skills. You prepared me for life by hitting me too hard when I was being annoying and whenever I was complaining. Thanks for everything. Love you. Ed: more than 7 years of friendship=friends for life. Good times together, good times. Thanks for everything. Wish we had more time in high school together. See you every spring break of college though. Love you, bro Rapha: From ‘not-my-friend’ to ‘best friend’. We are different and yet not that different. We became friends through a video game we both liked, and now I don’t even like the video game anymore. After a bit of time my house became yours and yours became mine. I had a lot of fun, and I couldn’t have gotten through high school without you. Wish it could have been longer. Love you, my friend. Omar, we understand each other on an intellectual level. In a short time you became one of my closest friends. I go to your house every week and just look at you playing video games and then I eat your Lebanese snacks. I’m going to miss you a lot.

Best Chapel memory: Studying for the surprise mock week last semester (Sem 1 12th). Plans after Chapel: Still figuring it out

The best thing of this school year: Vacations

After all these years of school, finally graduating seems insane. But thank God it’s finally happening. Don’t get me wrong, these years of school were very fun and all but I also just want to move on. I will be keeping this simple and straight to the point as words can’t express all the memories made in school and I think it’s more meaningful this way. Chapel brought a lot of great memories and most importantly a group of friends that always stood by my side during the roughest of times. Being surrounded by people who are always willing to help and just have fun with in general is great. I would like to personally thank Omar, Zion, Rico, Almeida, Enzo, Pedro, Gui V, Franco, Barbour, Bobby, Tommy, Tuti and Michel for just being great friends in general throughout all my years at Chapel. I’m really happy to be part of such a fun and caring group. Highlighting specific memories won’t do these guys justice considering how amazing everyone is. Therefore, I just wanted to sincerely thank each and every one of them for the great years that we had. I also wanted to use this text to thank some of my favorite teachers. Mr. Plain, Mr. Campbell and Mr. Muller. Thanks for being amazing and nice people throughout my years at school. You guys represent the best of what a teacher can be and I’m glad that I had the opportunity to be taught by you. A lot of great things happened during 12th grade. Even though the first semester was entirely done at home, we were still able to make some hilarious memories through Zoom that I will remember forever. My plans after Chapel include going to university and then figuring out what happens next. But what I’m sure of is that I will be maintaining contact with the guys for the foreseeable future as this group is too good to just be forgotten. Finally, I just wanted to thank my parents for always being by my side every moment throughout my school years. I can’t imagine what I would have done without them so I just wanted to sincerely thank them for everything they’ve done for me. Again, words literally can’t describe how thankful I am. Thank you :)

The best thing of this school year: Graduating

So, I guess I’m finally able to move on from here. Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Manning, Ms. Blasingame: You were definitely my favourite teachers. The respect, understanding, and hard work you put into our classes and clubs really made the school a lot more fun for me. VANDER: We might not have been together as much as we would have liked, but I must say, the man I am today is based on the man you taught me to be. I might act like I don’t listen to your wisdom, but it all went straight to the heart, old man. We’ve got a lot more Boat Shows to go to, though, so make sure you keep alive and well. ANA: Quem eu seria sem tudo que você faz por mim? Sem você pegando no me pé eu provavelmente teria mais uns 100 kilos e estaria reprovando da terceira série. Relaxa que quando eu for pra faculdade eu vou ligar pra você bastante. Seriao, obrigado por tudo LAURA: The number of essays you proofread makes me really owe it to you, right? How about we make a deal: I’ll finally watch Dark. Not like you do by reading a book, brushing your teeth, and walking around the home while watching. In all seriousness, let the record show: I appreciate you beyond measure. RAFA: We might not always see eye-to-eye but to say I don’t value you would be a huge lie. You inspired my love of art and taught me a lot about life. And who else would I have to hold my camera when making recordings? And look - I’ll try to wash my dishes from now on, ok? YE BOYS+MESA: God, I love this group. I don’t think I’ll ever find a ragtag group of weirdos like this again. The fun we had and the adventures we shared were a highlight of my life. I’ll say it here on paper and never again. I will also deny writing this, but I love you guys. MENGHINUS: Cara, I’m going to be real here. I know of no one else that I like talking to as much as you. I hope you’ll remember our works of art such as RoboBob, our adventures such as Itu, and our hilarious moments in Xbox parties, when you get your Nobel Prize. ALMEIDA: Through all our moments, my friend, I want you to remember one thing when looking back: Mockery is the greatest form of flattery. I want you to know, no matter what I say, that I’ll have your back to the grave and beyond, brother. MAMUS: I need to be honest - being friends has been one of the greatest surprises in my life. And yet somehow I wouldn’t trade it for anything. We’ve been through thick and thin, Mamus, and let’s make sure we’ll get into a lot more trouble together in the future. PICKLE RICK: My man. I want you to know that although we might not live next door in the future, the Jewish Mafia will always be open for business. And remember to give me a premium subscription to your articles, won’t you? ZION: You are a true homie, Z-Man. I learned one of my most valuable lessons with you: To always rock on at maximum volume. Listening to INTERPOL will always make me remember our times. Still, we got a lot more songs to shout along to before you can get rid of me. GUIBRUH: I have never met someone with a sense of humor as amazing as yours. You are a good friend, so make sure you don’t ghost us when school’s over. PEDROCA: I always love hanging out and talking with you even if we’re only sharing an Uber. Thanks for everything, Pedroca. LUKE: We might disagree on domestic policy, but I think we can both agree that I will always have your back. We go way back and I know we’ll go way forward. BOBBERS: Your enthusiasm for life is contagious, my friend. I loved our time together. ALL: I will always have a hard time expressing my gratitude to you guys. I really learned how much you mean to me given how many hours you spent in the last year helping me with things.

Mãe e Pai: Obrigado por tudo: pelas oportunidades, lições de vida, aulas de culinária, e muito mais. Sem a ajuda de vocês, acho que não conseguiria ter ido tão longe. Não existem palavras para descrever como sou grato pela ajuda que me dão. Eu amo muito vocês! Família: Quero agradecer a todos pela amizade e pelo suporte. Vocês sempre estiveram do meu lado nos momentos mais difíceis. Vou sentir muita falta de todos vocês, e fico muito grato por toda a ajuda que me deram. Pedro: Thank you for all the great memories and MUN conferences, from THIMUN to Rock in Rio. We’ve had a lot of funa and been on many great adventures. Omar: You and I have been through a lot. You’ve been one of my main buddies since I arrived at Chapel. We’ve completed a lot of challenges in video games together, and I know we’ll complete many more. Zion: We’ve had many great memories, and been through tough times, but I’m really glad I can call you a friend. From long nights playing video games to fun times at restaurants and on trips, I know I can count on you to have fun. Gui V: Your insight and humour have always been things I value. From theorizing on movies and video games to going on crazy adventures, we’ve been through a lot of fun. I hope we go through a lot more adventures together. Almeida: There are many moments I can think of when writing about you, and I’d like to thank you for all of them. We’ve had so much fun together, and I know we will have a lot more. Tolda: I still remember when we walked into class on the same day and everyone thought that we were siblings. I want to thank you for the great times we had together, and the wonderful MUN conferences we’ve been a part of. I wish you success going forward in life, and I hope that we remain friends. Enzo, Gui T, Barbour: I’m glad I can call you my friends. We’ve been through thick and thin, and on many fun adventures. Some were scary, and some very entertaining. Moving forward, I wish you to see you all in the future and re-create and relive these moments together. We can make more memories together. Bobby, Tommy, Franco: We’ve had some great times together, and a lot of fun. I know that we will have a lot more, and I wish the three of you much success in university and in life. Mr. Campbell, Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Marcos: All three of you have been great mentors and teachers, and I know that your future students are going to be as lucky as I am. I wish you all the best, and I would like to thank you all for teaching me. Ms. Knox: My Birthday Buddy! Although we spent very little time in class, and I never had the pleasure of having you as a full time teacher, I’m very happy that you went to an MUN conference with us. I wish you all the best moving forward, and I know that future students will be lucky to have you as a teacher! Ms. Veronesi: It’s been a very long time since I’ve had you as a teacher, but those science classes have been the ones where I learned the most. It was always fun having you as a teacher, and you’ve always answered the most ridiculous and far-fetched questions I had. It’s a shame I didn’t choose bio as my science, but if I could go back, I most certainly would. Thank you for the great classes. I wish you all the best!

You never judge me, but instead support me time and time again. I know that when I need to laugh, you are the one I can turn to.

Nanda: for some reason we have so many small similarities in our past which is probably why you’ve been my best friend since day one. You are the most loving and beautiful person inside and out.

Best Chapel memory: Playing around with my friends Plans after Chapel: College and eventually entrepreneurship The best thing of this school year: Graduation

Chapel School. Wow, I can’t believe it’s coming to an end. Someone who was once a childish troublemaker is still a childish troublemaker, but one with a diploma. I am out of words. What should I even say? Should I start thanking people? Family? Friends? Alright, let’s do it. Here goes: my most sincere thanks to everyone who has played a role in the development of Omar Daher. To begin, the three people who obviously deserve my most sincere appreciation and applause are my parents and brother. These three heroes managed to put up with me for 17 years and counting. They have dealt with all of my extremely annoying moments with smiles on their faces. Well, maybe not all the time, but I don’t blame them as they’re only human. So from the bottom of my heart thank you for providing me with all that you did, and glory for the years to come. The Daher family still has much to accomplish! Coming in at a close second, the people who have been by my side for basically my entire life -- the boys. This group of people, although not always the wisest with rational decisionmaking, are the best friends I could have ever asked for. This group, made up of the most elite men this world has ever seen, deserve my most personal, heartfelt, and individual applause. Let’s begin: I’d like to start this list with Guilherme Vercelli. He and I have been through a lot: Missed assignments; visits to the dean’s office; legendary political campaigns that got us into the student council; even a dirt bike accident together. From the moment I met him, I knew this man was destined for greatness. Gui, all I have to say is thank you. Wow, I almost started tearing up a little with that last one. Three other people that have been by my side since I can remember are Lucas, Zion and Rico. The three of us go way back. We have done everything, from staying awake until six in the morning to build an electric skateboard, to jet skiing off Floripa. A huge and heartfelt thanks to all of you as well. Another person, with whom I have probably laughed the most, is Franco. Despite not being in the same friend group, both of us are on the same page, from jokes, to taste, to dedication. He has had my back no matter the circumstances and, man, I will miss all the gym sessions at the bottom of his building. I’ll miss you, Franco. Now the moral compass of the group. How could I not talk about Arthur Almeida. This man is the single-most dedicated and morally-aligned person I have ever met. He is the type of person I’d like to introduce to my kids. I owe a special thanks to you, Arthur, and here it is: Thank you for keeping me and the boys in line at the hardest of times. I also need to mention a couple of people who are not only some of the smartest individuals I have come across, but some of the funniest: Pedro and Tocantins. Both of them have cracked me up with jokes to the point where I can barely speak. They are people I look up to a lot, so thank you, guys, for being by my side. I swear I could talk about these people forever, but I am limited to 3,800 characters and am currently at 3,400. For this reason my most sincere thanks also goes to Bobby, Barbour, Enzo, Tommy, Michel, Boueiri, Inaki, and Leo. You guys are a few of the nicest people I have ever met. To conclude this page I’d like to thank once more all my friends and family, as well as the Chapel staff, particularly Mr. Marcos Müller, one of the most interesting people I know. So thank you for these wonderful years.

Pais: Muito obrigado por me proporcionar essa vida incrível pelos últimos quatro anos. Sou muito grato por todas as experiências que tive, tanto dentro quanto fora da escola, e realmente não sei como retribuir. Acho que nunca vou conseguir entender o sacrifício diário que vocês fazem para mim, conseguindo não só pagar a escola (apesar de terem que ouvir minhas reclamações diariamente), mas também todas as viagens, jantares, atividades e até Ubers. Minha gratidão também se estende aos valores que vocês passaram a mim; sei que apenas me tornei a pessoa comprometida, ambiciosa e feliz que sou devido aos ensinamentos que vocês me passaram. Dessa forma, fico confiante de que, com a visão de mundo e experiências que vocês me ensinaram, vou atingir meus objetivos nessa nova fase da minha vida. Obrigado! Lu: Obrigado por todas as risadas e partidas de tênis! Tenho certeza que você vai muito bem no High School! Rico: Thanks for always being by my side and being a great friend. You are always someone I can talk to and with whom I can share my most random thoughts and experiences. I’ve told you all about the crazy YouTube video cycles I have gotten myself into, weird songs I discovered and the depths of my procrastination; you are a truly amazing friend. Enzo: One of the funniest people I have ever met - I will never forget about the lunchtime shenanigans in 8th grade that gave me the greatest laughs ever. At the same time, I will never get tired of hearing you argue about politics. Maybe one day the Civ VI match will still happen. Omar: I am confident that your Rust skills will transfer well to whatever career you choose to pursue in life - this ‘time commitment’ shaped you up to become great in whatever you choose to do. I am sure it will be wild to think back on these years after we have graduated. Vercelli: My procrastination partner-in-crime, but you were always one step further. One of the funniest people I have ever met. Almeida: Just randomly walking around and forgetting your backpack - you are definitely one of the most memorable people I have ever met and shared great moments with. Good luck in college, man. Zion: I will miss your music recommendations a lot. You’re absolutely insane and one of the most hyped-up people I’ve ever met. I’m sure we’ll have a lot of good moments to come! Tocantins: You are legitimately the funniest person I’ve ever met; everybody knows that when Guibruh talks, everyone in the call listens. Super raiz with the best jokes ever. Love you, man. Wish you the best. Bobby: My friend since the very beginning. I am still surprised how you literally never come in Chapel dress code clothes and yet never get in trouble. Great times together. I am looking forward to many more. Girls: You have the most positive, infectious energy in the entire school! Literally every class becomes more fun and lighthearted because of the atmosphere you create. I wish you all the best in the future! Mr. Vaughan: Absolute best chaperone. I will definitely miss ‘nerding out’ about watches with you - I wish you the best in your collecting journey! Class of 2021: Thanks for the best high school experience I could have wished for! I wish each and every one of you the best, and I look forward to the good times ahead of us! To all my teachers, thanks for everything. I really appreciate the effort that you put into the lessons!

The best thing of this school year: Spending time with my friends and family

Mãe: Para você só tenho que agradecer por tudo que você já fez por mim e por nossa família. Todo seu apoio e ajuda durante esses anos escolares renderam muitas discussões mas foram essenciais para mim e para meu amadurecimento.

Mãe e Pai: Nunca vou conseguir retribuir tudo que vocês fizeram por mim. Se não fosse por vocês eu nunca chegaria onde estou. Todas aquelas noites fazendo trabalhos e lições atrasados ou de última hora. Sinceramente, não sei como tiveram paciência. Sempre me perguntavam o que eu gostaria de ser e eu nunca soube responder. Hoje eu sei que teria sorte em ser um milésimo do que vocês são. Eu tenho tanta admiração e gratidão por vocês e por mais que eu não fale com frequência, eu amo vocês. Ao terminar essa etapa da minha vida, sei que metade das minhas conquistas eu devo a vocês. Lipe & Nando: You guys are the best thing that has ever happened to me and although I don’t say it enough, I love you guys so much! You have a long journey ahead of you and I will be there to support you guys every step of the way. I don’t know what my life would be like without you guys.

We have had the most amazing laughs because spending time with you is never boring. You are always willing to help others and I love that about you.

Our friendship is new but it seems that we have known each other for years.

Best Chapel memory: The Pep Rallies where the Trojan would come around and dance for the hundreds of people chanting and wearing face paint Plans after Chapel: University and life in the United States The best thing of this school year: Graduating Chapel has been a series of ups and downs just like anything in life and it made me who I am today. One thing I will always remember from Chapel is the Pep Rallies where the Trojan would come around and dance for the hundreds of people chanting and wearing face paint. After high school, I will be prepared to make a life for myself in the United States after graduating from the Illinois Institute of Technology. I am thankful for all the extraordinary friends Chapel has allowed me to meet and with whom I will always keep a relationship with even while being miles away. At Illinois Tech, I will remember the table tennis tournaments that we used to make and the tense moments at the end of matches. This year I am sure the best thing that will happen to me will be graduating. It is a strong step towards the future which I am looking forward to and an accomplishment I will carry with me until the end of my life. Dear Mom and Dad, I would say I am thankful for the way you raised me but that is obvious. The openmindedness and charisma you taught me during my years as a kid during middle school has made me a respectful man. Your inspiration is what made me get to this moment in my life and it’s a moment I will cherish forever in this life journey. You are the reason I am who I am and I could not be happier with the life choices you guided me through. I love you.

Parent Messages to Seniors

eres: alegre, sonriente, resiliente, perseverante... gran soñadora con los pies en la tierra.

Arthur Barbour de Freitas

Arthur, querido.

Em 2008, quando você entrou na Chapel, para cursar o Kindergarten, os desafios eram muitos para um menino de 5 anos, que até então tinha sido pré-alfabetizado em português, na Escola Viva, uma instituição com a metodologia de ensino construtivista e que oferecia meio período de estudo, ou seja, uma carga horária de menos de cinco horas. Você com a sua perseverança, que lhe é peculiar, desde pequeno, superou todas as dificuldades, se adaptou à nova rotina, aos novos costumes do colégio e construiu laços de amizade. Desejamos que você continue essa pessoa altruísta, que não perde a oportunidade de ajudar quem quer que seja, que siga um homem obstinado, sempre em busca dos seus objetivos, sem medir esforços para conquistá-los, e que seja feliz e tenha sucesso nas escolhas da vida. Com muito amor, dos seus pais, Alê e José.

Arthur Mônaco de Almeida

Se como pais nós tivéssemos que definir o Arthur por algumas palavras, elas seriam cinco: correção, temperança, bondade, inteligência e doçura. Arthur gosta de passar longas horas conosco conversando de maneira inteligente sobre o mundo e como nos inserimos nele. Sua primeira preocupação sempre é “fazer o certo”, o correto, uma vez que o “certo” esteja claramente definido. Segundo ele, isso deveria ser feito de maneira calma e pensada, procurando sempre o melhor para todos. E deveria ser transmitido aos outros de maneira doce, não invasiva. Nunca fica irritado, e isso não é nenhum exagero, nas relações com a família e com os amigos. A profissão que escolheu visa ajudar o próximo, de acordo com a

Fé que abraçou desde pequeno. Arthur encontrou na Chapel e nos seus amigos de escola o terreno perfeito para desenvolver estas características, está na escola desde o pré, e é com alegria que o vemos completar a sua formação de maneira tão sólida, sob todos os aspectos, e formar um grupo de amigos que, temos certeza, vai acompanhá-lo por toda a vida. Deus te abençoe filho, que você continue nos brindando com a sua correção, temperança, bondade, inteligência e doçura.

Enzo Salvatore Lattarullo Menghini

Querido Enzo, É com imensa alegria e satisfação que, por meio desta mensagem, expressamos o quanto estamos orgulhosos. Gostaríamos de encontrar palavras para fazê-lo...Tudo passou tão rápido...ainda lembramos do pequerrucho que levávamos à escola, do coringa, das nossas barulheiras, das viagens, dos bons e maus humores kkkk, das intermináveis consultas médicas, das bagunças dos finais de semana, das infindáveis lições de casa, dos ternos, das risadas, dos amigos, dos momentos família, das suas comidas favoritas, das suas opiniões políticas, do Nietzche, das suas festas à fantasia, dos almoços e jantares, dos filmes, das reclamações....Então, nunca se esqueça o que realmente é importante: a amor que sentimos e nossa família, com todas qualidades e defeitos, pessoas reais. Desejamos assim que a sua luz se propague pelo mundo e que você, uma das jóias da nossa família, comece a ser dilapidado gradativamente, com precisão e qualidade. Nunca duvidamos da sua capacidade e do seu potencial. Aproveite esta nova etapa de vida e que esta conquista seja só a primeira de várias. Seja sempre justo, amoroso, amigo, feliz e generoso como foi até agora. Seja destemido e que seu futuro seja brilhante, mítico. Estaremos aqui para você, te apoiando sempre. Te amamos muito muito. Mama, Papa e Lucca.

Respeita ... mas desafia e não aceita as respostas comuns. Sonha alto e tem ambição... mas usa chinelos com meias. Difícil definir, né? Para mim sempre será meu filhote, que abaixa a guarda e me demonstra seu amor com seu olhar, em todas as nossas despedidas... Me orgulho muito de te ver como um homem justo e honesto. Que sonha com um mundo melhor! E que fará parte das mudanças tão necessárias! Voa, Cara! Você tem um mundo pela frente para transformar! Tô aqui para você! Te amo!!

Gui meu amor

Que momento importante esse de sua vida! Isso me faz lembrar o dia que descobri que estava grávida de você e a alegria e o amor do qual fui tomada naquele momento e o quanto você é seguro desde pequeno e sabedor do que quer. Sempre muito questionador, não aceitando os porquês sem respostas bem explicadas. Eu e seu pai tivemos que desenvolver uma dose extra de novos saberes para te acompanhar. Nossa sorte foi que você nasceu em uma família com irmãs mais velhas que você que também dividem nessa tarefa. Você pode fazer a diferença no mundo Gui. Siga questionando e mudando. É uma benção poder contribuir para a construção do ser que você está se transformando. Com amor, Mamãe

Gui, aprendo com você todos os dias. Tenho muito orgulho do homem que você está se tornando. Te amo palestrinha! Laura

Sua determinação e confiança vão te levar longe. Eu acredito em você! Parabéns por mais essa conquista. Com muito orgulho e satisfação, Mamãe.

Henrique, você é um filho que nos orgulha muito, por ser responsável, dedicado à sua educação formal e seu desenvolvimento como pessoa, ressaltado por suas iniciativas em participar de atividades extracurriculares e a sua sensibilidade aos mais vulneráveis, além do seu carinho e respeito pela família.

Es poco espacio éste para expresar todo o algo de lo que significas para mi , es demasiado el orgullo que siento en ser tu mamá, nunca imaginé tener un hijo así, con tus defectos y tus millones de virtudes, con tu enorme corazón y tu gran sensibilidad.

Ahora te tocará recorrer otro camino, un poco más independiente. Solo te pido que siempre busques tu felicidad, intentando dejar de lado la armadura de fortaleza y te muestres tal como sos, sensible, conciliador, buena persona, cariñoso, amigo,.... Te amo. Mamá

Ni en mis mejores sueños habría podido esperar tener un mejor hijo y amigo para vivir el camino que hemos pasado juntos hasta ahora.

Nunca pierdas tu esencia, tu espontaneidad, tu sentido común. Tu lealtad, tu honestidad. Me permitiste vivir, divertirme y aprender a ser padre. Contigo he pasado los últimos mejores 18 años de mi vida. Me encanto que me dejaras hacerlo cerquita tuyo. Ahora empieza una nueva versión del camino. No le temas al futuro. Aunque tengas ese frío en la barriga, estas preparado. Como todo lo que te propones, lo superarás. Siempre estaré, cuando lo necesites (y cuando no). El Gordo

Quando estamos motivados com nosso trabalho e o executamos com atitude positiva atraímos para nós a felicidade que procuramos. Dê valor para as coisas simples e boas da vida que você tem a possibilidade de desfrutar, mas não pare de colocar novas metas. Você é a única responsável por tudo de bom que acontecerá na sua vida.

Juan, estamos muy orgullosos de que estés terminando con tanto éxito esta etapa de tu vida. Desde que naciste has sido un niño muy especial, sonriente y amigable. Naciste con una estrella que te seguirá guiando por el resto de la vida. Siempre estaremos orgullosos de ese gran ser humano. Puedes contar con nosotros en cada momento de tu vida. Sabes que estamos felices de que puedas cumplir tu sueño de irte a estudiar y empezar abrir tu propio camino, pero también sabes que nos vas a hacer una falta infinita. A la mamá, no solamente se le va el hijo sino el partner. El compañero de día y de noche. Al papá, se le va el hijo y el compañero de discusiones eternas sobre cómo hacer el mundo un sitio mejor.

Un abrazo lleno de agradecimientos por lo que eres y de bendiciones para lo que viene. CAROLINA, GABRIELA Y ENRIQUE

Leonnardo Domingos Cury

Nosso querido Leo, Você nasceu nos dando muita alegria. O terceiro filho que trouxe para nós muitos aprendizados e vamos continuar sempre aprendendo com você. Lá nos primórdios dos seus primeiros anos da Chapel, você mostrou que o tempo é o senhor de tudo, que tudo supera. Rompeu vários obstáculos, superou dificuldades, e continuou insistindo naquilo que mais precisava evoluir. Conquistou amizades e professores, com seu jeito simpático e envolvente. Quando você passou para o high school, parecia que todos nós havíamos sido aprovados juntos kkk, pois você sempre foi um garoto que nos faz participar de tudo que é seu e preza sua família e a coloca em primeiro lugar. Isso é um orgulho para nós, e mesmo você estando nessa fase em que os amigos são muito importantes, nunca esquece dos seus pais e irmãos. Você sempre conquista todos por onde passa, tem um carisma e autoconfiança muito grandes que até incomodam algumas pessoas, mas isso não te afeta e não é limite nenhum para você tentar conquistar até aqueles que se incomodam com você. Nesses anos todos de Chapel, aprendemos juntos que mesmo dentro de um ambiente seguro podemos encontrar obstáculos e desafios que irão fazer de você um homem forte e conhecedor da vida e das pessoas. Aprendeu que tudo é passageiro e que o universo é muito grande para nos preocuparmos com detalhes ínfimos e situações que passam por nós que apesar de passageiras nos tornam grandes. Aprendemos que algumas situações deixam marcas para a vida toda, mas

são elas que irão “engrossar nossa casca” como você bem fala. Algumas vezes temos que “puxar a sua orelha” como todo pai e mãe no seu direito, mas você sabe que é para seu bem. Nosso desejo é que você voe bem alto, que tenha autonomia para poder tomar boas decisões e que seja livre e independente, além de ter saúde e ser feliz. Amamos tanto você que não cabe dentro, e agora vai lá para a vida e faça seu melhor, pois estaremos aqui sempre no último vagão do trem, no seu último recurso, caso precise da gente, do papai e mamãe

Letícia Rodrigues Guimarães Barbosa

Lelê, Leleti, Pepê Não dá para acreditar que a nossa Lelê cresceu… Aquela menininha linda, mas doce, dona do olhar mais cativante que já vimos, se tornou esta mulher ainda mais amorosa e meiga. Ao mesmo tempo, te vemos tāo forte, determinada e responsável, que temos certeza de que você está pronta para encarar este mundāo lá fora. Mudou tantas vezes de quarto, de casa, de país, de culturas; esteve sempre rodeada de caixas e por onde passou deixou um pedacinho do seu amor para os que ficaram. Sabemos o quanto foi difícil chegar aqui. Filha, agora você está indo atrás dos seus sonhos; e mesmo sabendo que sentiremos demais sua falta, estamos muito felizes com seu progresso. Estaremos aqui pensando e torcendo por você todos os dias, seu quarto estará sempre aqui arrumadinho te esperando. Que os seus desafios do dia a dia se tornem aprendizado, que fortaleçam o seu coração e te façam crescer como pessoa. Sonhe, Lê, voe… Vá ver o mundo com o olhar que só você tem e venha nos contar como é, porque você é única. Se lembra da linda história que a Mrs Heppner contou sobre você no Canadá? Conte sempre com sua família; somos sua Fortaleza, aqui você estará sempre protegida, estaremos de braços abertos e te apoiando em todas as suas decisões. Te amamos milhões de vezes to the moon and back. Vá em frente, siga seu coração, você será sempre nossa Lelê.

Lelê, você é a melhor irmã do mundo. Eu te amo muito! Lucas

Lelê, you made it! Eu ainda nāo acredito que você está se formando, minha eterna irmāzinha de 15 anos. Parabéns, eu sei o quanto se esforçou para chegar aqui. Conte sempre comigo no matter what, eu estarei sempre ao seu lado. Lara

Lívia Reimann Deleuse

Sua chegada ao Mundo às 9:30am de 27/02 trouxe um real propósito à nossa família. Durante seu primeiro

ano de vida, imaginávamos quando aqueles choros no auge da madrugada se transformariam em palavras para que pudéssemos aprender mais sobre você.

Lívia começou a falar rápido, por outro lado, demorou para dar seus primeiros passos sozinha. Com a mudança para o Chile, teve que recomeçar, e voltar a aprender a falar... uma misteriosa nova língua. Em pouco tempo se adaptou à nova realidade e começou a mostrar traços marcantes de sua personalidade: determinação sem deixar de ser gentil com todos. A única vez que precisou de ajuda na escola foram nas primeiras lições de casa da escola de Miami, quando encaramos mais uma mudança de país. Lívia em poucos meses nos EUA desenvolveu outras grandes qualidades que se reforçam até hoje: independência, autoconfiança e amor próprio. Lívia se transformou em uma pessoa pronta para encarar e melhorar o Mundo em que vivemos. Estamos muito orgulhosos e felizes de poder compartilhar cada dia, cada minuto contigo! TE AMAMOS MUITO!!”

Fabio e Alessandra Deleuse.

Maria Rosa Kaba Aboud

Dear Maria, I can’t believe you are graduating High School!!!! Just 18 years ago you were born and became a blessing to me and to our family from day one. Watching you grow has been one of the major highlights of my life. You bring joy, cheer, laughter, kindness and gentleness to all you meet. Your accomplishments until today have been truly outstanding. You have the virtues necessary for a truly happy life. The main virtues I see in you are: diligence, perseverance, effort, discernment, compassion, resilience, helpfulness, solidarity, empathy, friendliness and kindness (and how can I forget: a super sense of fashion!). I wish you a life of fulfilment and true human connections. Love you with all my heart always, your “Ma”

Dear Maria, Congratulations on your graduation. This is truly a wonderful achievement. Your hard work, dedication and perseverance has paid off. You are a very special girl, strong and smart and beautiful, and most importantly, thoughtful and kind and loving. There is so much ahead for you and I am so proud of you. Continue to work hard and you will continue to achieve whatever you want. Remember to follow your dreams and be your wonderful self! Love, Da.

Mel Cristina Silva Diniz Janguiê

Mel, como o nome já anuncia, é doce e extremamente preocupada em fazer as pessoas felizes. Seu comportamento empático e agregador a torna especial não só para familiares, mas também para os amigos. E isso explica a diversidade de amizades que ela conseguiu estabelecer durante sua vida e o equilíbrio

que traz à nossa família. Nossa menina nasceu para vencer desafios, surpreender. E isso a gente já percebeu no seu nascimento: tudo estava organizado para um dia, mas ela nos surpreendeu e nasceu antes. Essa pressa para nascer já era um sinal da força que Mel tem para mover o mundo e ser protagonista de sua história. Determinada, não esmorece diante das adversidades. É diante de situações adversas que se mostra destemida, resiliente e segura. Ela nos dá a certeza de que seus desejos e objetivos de vida serão sempre conquistados. Esse comportamento a torna uma pessoa engajada, líder, alvo da admiração dos amigos, dos irmãos e orgulho de nós, pais. Como é bom viver com a leveza de Mel! Reconhecê-la uma jovem feliz, capaz de buscar e conquistar suas oportunidades nos conforta, nos faz agradecer a Deus a graça de tê-la entre nós e rogar a Ele para que os voos dela sejam sempre plenos, cheios da felicidade que diariamente ela nos transmite. Com um amor infinito, Seus Pais.

Omar Khoury Daher

Omar, filho, acompanhar sua jornada nestes 17 anos é uma alegria. Você transformou nossas vidas para melhor. Sua ética e senso de justiça são admiráveis. Adoro ver você chamar seu irmão, Arthur, quando seus amigos estão em casa. Mesmo sendo mais novo, você o quer como parte do grupo. Sua generosidade contagia. Não se preocupe muito. Continue sendo simples. Não viva rápido demais. Problemas virão e passarão. Permaneça fiel às suas convicções. (Pai)

Na Chapel você foi apresentado ao conhecimento de base, a valores éticos e morais e fez grandes amigos. Que sejam eternos. É hora de descobrir novos horizontes. Como se partisse para uma viagem e levasse uma mochila com seus aprendizados. É preciso deixá-la leve: o que é essencial? O que pode largar? Guarde o que te faz crescer e abandone o que não serve mais. Encontre sua própria voz. Filho do coração grande e da alma tranquila, do humor maroto e da honestidade destemida, é um privilégio dividir essa vida com você. (Mãe)

Pedro de Marchi

Pedro,

Nós estamos muito felizes e realizados por este importante passo na sua vida! Sabemos que não foi fácil... Logo nos primeiros minutos que você nasceu, muitas lutas você teve que enfrentar e ao longo da sua vida muitas dificuldades apareceram, mas com muito esforço e dedicação, aos poucos, você conseguiu

vencer cada uma delas. Nosso maior orgulho é como você venceu - sempre de forma inteligente, com carinho, respeito e demonstração de amor por todos que estiveram ao seu lado. Sabemos que muitos desafios ainda virão pela frente, mas com seu jeito e ao seu tempo você vencerá todos eles. Continue sonhando e onde você estiver saiba que sempre estaremos aqui para te apoiar e ajudar a realizar cada um deles. Que o mundo todo possa te conhecer como nós conhecemos e descobrir o quão maravilhoso você é! Seja sempre abençoado e muito feliz. Com muito amor, Mauro, Vanessa, Luisa, vó Wilma, vô Sebastião, vó Célia e vô Pereira (in memoriam).

时间的力量

儿女是耶和华所赐的产业。所怀的胎是他所给的赏赐 至于我和我家，我们必定事奉耶和华，因为他是我们的 神。

此刻的我是多么的幸福，儿子18岁了。

都说时间是流动的空气，但时间在你这里变成了力量。

谢谢你用旺盛的生命力，拉着父母跟你前行，让我们懂得 爱，责任，义务

到如今的你，每天都需要和自我爆棚的你斗智斗勇，也积 攒了很多话想和你分享：

尊重女性，尊重比你弱小的生命，尊重长者

儿子，生命无贵贱，只有今天你对能够见到的任何人、 物、事都心存敬畏、感恩，才不会去做危害社会，危害他 人的事。

敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端。

懂得保护自己，身为男性，不越界懂距离 君子不立危墙之下，爱护自己，是对自己的亲人负责。

成为一名绅士，有礼有节，不卑不亢，礼让女性 学会说不

遇事先理性思考，不屈不盲从于他人意志。

永远保持学习的能力，技多不压身 希望你，永不丧失学习的能力。未来世界的发展走向如 何，妈妈实在想象不出。保持对学习的热情，才不至于被 瞬息万变的世界抛弃。只要你有一颗随时学习，不惧怕学 习的心，任何难关，到最后都可以迎刃而解。

懂得幽默

幽默是一个人积极向上的最高体现。

学好语言

语言是你出去看世界的便利工具 热爱运动，喜欢音乐，学会烹饪，说走就走的旅行 旅行让我们休息，更多认识上帝 旅行让我们懂得欣赏上帝的美妙创造 旅行让我们学习接纳过程中的不顺利 学会理财，有正确的价值观 这个世界没有绝对的自由 一个人活在这个世上，不可能想做什么就做什么，自由都 是相对的。

你必须遵守应该遵守的规则，才能享受规则范围内的自

由，否则就是任性。

不可以游戏感情，拒绝赌 毒 这是一个男性最没品、最垃圾的一面！远离那些低级趣 味，远离那些声色诱惑。你要时刻记得，你的快乐，不能 建立在任何人的痛苦之上

男孩 妈妈希望你知礼、明义、善良、宽厚、睿智、大 气……

虽然为母的我，总是最贪心，恨不得世间所有的优秀品质 自家孩子都有，但是我们可以一起努力成为更好的自己。

时间真好给了你力量，让你飞的更高，但你也要有摔下来 的勇气。

“这个世界只有一种英雄主义，那就是在看清生活真相之 后，依然热爱生活”

宝贝:享受属于你的时间，愿你拥有永不被生活打倒的力 量，因为这个世界值得你认真对待。

最后妈妈也要深深的向你说一声：对不起！我的宝贝。亲 子之间语言的伤害，第一次当妈教育的有限，现实生活里 的缺乏。。。。。。。

想送你一首诗《卫风•淇奥》，他是你努力的目标 想送你一部书[圣经]，他是你随时的帮助。

Raphael Boueiri

Rapha meu amor,

Que delicia que foi a sua trajetória na Chapel. Ver seu crescimento e amadurecimento a cada ano. Quantas vezes já fomos chamados pois Rapha não para quieto, fala alto, faz bagunça, e esse mesmo Rapha depois foi chamado várias vezes para ajudar a escola, fazer apresentações e filmagens. Um menino com rosto de anjo, que fazia bagunça, mas era amado por todos os professores. Temos muito orgulho e admiração pelo homem que você está se tornando. Espero que você continue trilhando com muito amor tudo que você se dedica a fazer. Você vai longe e vai conquistar tudo o que você deseja com o seu jeito de ser. Pode ter certeza que estaremos sempre aqui por você. Parabéns por mais uma conquista e por essa fase na sua vida. Que Deus continue abençoando e acompanhando a sua trajetória. A gente te ama demais, Mamãe e Papai

Rapha nem acredito que esse dia chegou, parabéns por mais essa conquista! Amei o tempo que a gente teve juntos lá, e pode ter certeza que mesmo longe e fazendo coisas diferentes eu vou continuar te ajudando sempre. Vou estar sempre aqui para você, te apoiando e vibrando pelas suas conquistas! Que essa nova fase da sua vida seja repleta de coisas maravilhosas e que você seja feliz! Nunca duvide do seu potencial e pode ter certeza que o seu caminho é iluminado, cheio de conquistas, sucesso e felicidade. Te admiro muito, te amo demais e estou muito feliz por você!

Beijos, Gigi

Rapha eu te amo. Parabéns por ter se formado e sei que você vai se dar bem na faculdade. Obrigada por ser o melhor irmão do mundo. Vou sentir saudades de ir com você para a escola, quando você tirar a carta vem me buscar. Te amo beijos Valen

Rocío María Arruiz Ochoa

Hoy es un cierre y es un nuevo comienzo!. Argentina, Perù, Salvador y por último Sao Paulo.

Te queremos infinito. Siempre con vos. Mama y Papa

Rodrigo Bakhos Maria

Ro, meu pequeno tímido de sorriso lindo que passa voando por todos seus caminhos. Ontem estava reclamando que não queria acordar para ir à “icool” na pré-escola e agora me faz ficar com o coração apertado na despedida da Chapel, família querida que acolheu e cuidou dos meus filhos com carinho e que levaremos no coração e nas melhores lembranças. A vontade de conhecer novos caminhos é enorme! Ele queria que tudo passasse rapidamente, menos, é claro, os treinos e os jogos, que foram momentos que trouxeram muita explosão e alegrias ao lado dos amigos que conquistou ao longo desses anos e que certamente terá por toda a vida. Esperamos que seu amadurecimento venha com valores e metas grandiosas. Que seus sonhos sejam tão enormes quanto o amor que temos por você e que seu sucesso venha acompanhado dos melhores sentimentos, te trazendo uma evolução constante. Corra, pule, e voe bem alto sempre, sem limites para conquistar tudo o que quiser! Estaremos orgulhosos acompanhando nosso amorzinho. We love you Ro! Somos muito felizes por fazer parte de nós!

So Min Park

사랑하는 나의 딸 소민, 아장아장 걷던 아기였던게 엊그제 같은데

어느덧 훌쩍 커서 고등학교 졸업을 한다니 감회가 새롭구나.

아빠, 엄마를 따라서 낯선 브라질에서 학교 생활을 하느라

때로는 힘든 시간이 있었겠지만, 잘 이겨내고 졸업을 하게 되어서

아빠, 엄마는 너무 기쁘다.

브라질에서의 새롭고 즐거운 추억과 힘들고 고민했던

모든 시간들은

박소민이라는 사람이 성장하는데 큰 자양분이 되리라 믿는다.

사랑하는 소민이, 졸업 축하한다.

너는 항상 우리의 기쁨이었고 희망이었다.

이제 더 큰 세상으로 나아서 너의 꿈을 향해 힘차게

도전해 보거라.

두려워 하거나 포기하지 말고, 천천히 한발자국씩

나아가 보렴.

그리고 자신과 가족을 사랑하고, 세상 모든 사람들을

이해할 수 있는 따뜻한 가슴을 지닌 사람으로 성장하기를 바란다. 항상 너를 사랑하며 지지하고, 너의 뒤에서 꿈을 이루어 가는걸 지켜보고 있을께.

소민아 사랑한다.

아빠, 엄마가

Sofia Bueno Buazar

Sofia, que significa sabedoria em grego. Desde pequenininha seus professores já me diziam o quão madura você era. Eu já sabia que você seria essa menina incrível que sabe o que quer e que está sempre disposta a chegar lá. Eu só não sabia que no final da estrada viveríamos uma pandemia que nos privaria de tantas coisas. Só desejo que você seja muito feliz!!! Amada Sofia, que tanto me orgulha. Desde pequena mostrou que saberia fazer suas escolhas, com muita personalidade. Responsável, fiel e comprometida. Na escola, sempre motivo de grandes elogios. No esporte, encontrou uma competência nata em todas as modalidades que experimentou, sempre com garra e determinação, liderança e senso de cooperação. Como irmã, muito me emociona a sua relação de amor, carinho e preocupação com Fernando e Felipe. Como filha, uma super companheira. Desejo que você alcance todos seus objetivos, nesta nova etapa e por toda sua vida. Parabéns pela maravilhosa pessoa que você é. Te amo muuuuito.

Tomás Vermehren Miraglia

Tommy, parabéns por essa etapa que você cumpre agora. Não há nada como a juventude, então aproveite cada momento, saboreie suas vitórias, divirta-se e curta muito com seus amigos.

Continue sendo sempre esse garoto ético, carinhoso, preocupado com a família e lembre-se que do lado de cá, nós estaremos sempre de braços abertos para te receber, incondicionalmente. Te amo muito, felicidades! Papai

Mi Tommy querido, no tengo palabras para describir lo orgullosa que me siento al ver el hombre en el que te has transformado. Pareciera que fue ayer cuando te deje en tu sala de kinder y hoy veo salir del colegio a una persona integra, con valores, responsable, cariñoso, que fue capaz de superar varios obstaculos con mucho esfuerzo, perseverancia y determinacion. Disfruta esta nueva etapa de tu vida al maximo y recuerda que siempre estaremos aqui, a tu lado, para lo que necesites. Vuela alto y corre atras de tus sueños, mereces ser MUY feliz! Te adoro.

Zion Fontana Jacomossi

Filho estou com meu coração cheio de alegria por este momento, nunca imaginei que chegaria tão depressa. Seu dever de estudante perdurará pela vida inteira, meu orgulho é gigante por ter você como filho e me alegro muito por ter concluído essa formação, você sabe que para mim sempre foi um sonho te presentear com ela. Obrigada meu filho por suprir minhas expectativas dando o seu melhor, mesmo quando não estava tão animado para concluir as exigências escolares, sei que você sempre fez o melhor que pode, para mim isso já é o suficiente, mesmo que você às vezes sentisse que não era capaz, isso acontecia só porque você sempre foi super exigente com a qualidade minuciosa, sabemos que muitas vezes não dava tempo de terminar e acabava injustamente tirando notas baixas, mas eu sempre soube das suas habilidades, do seu potencial. Te observando na sua dedicação tão detalhada, passamos por muitos momentos juntos, crescemos juntos errando e acertando até mesmo quando não estava tão perto de você e que em momentos difíceis lá de longe sentia seu

coração, e te ligava para conversar né?

Eu sei, para te falar a verdade sempre soube que você é um geniozinho. Parabéns meu amor e desejo que sua vida lá fora seja fun na faculdade porque estudar aquilo que amamos não tem preço e nem chatices!! Aqui vai um conselho de mãe: mantenha seu equilíbrio, sempre se lembre de se acalmar quando estiver irritado nem que tenha que fazer 30 pés de chinelo ok? E não esqueça que perdemos a razão se não soubermos falar calmamente!!! Você é e sempre será meu bebê.

Te amo Mamãe

Zion, que jornada até aqui, respire fundo é só o começo!!! Obrigado por compartilhar comigo suas vitórias, inseguranças, alegrias e segredos, eu e você não temos rótulos, sou o que você quiser que eu seja, isso você já sabe, mas saiba que você é para mim um Filho/Melhor amigo / confidente / arteiro / irritante / faminto / ciumento / querido / educado / gente fina / style / too cool for school; enfim perfeito do jeito que é. A gente nunca está pronto para se jogar no mundão mas essa sensação do desconhecido, é o que move a gente, só vai. Eu tô aqui sempre! Te amo Di

Estou muito feliz em poder participar desse encerramento de ciclo que é tão importante e, mais feliz ainda, em ver quem você está se tornando. Parabéns por essa conquista e por todas as outras que estão por vir!

Beijos, Gabi Pochini.

Parabéns pela formatura, big Zion! É um orgulho muito grande ter acompanhado seu crescimento e evolução até esse ponto. Você se tornou um homão: forte, corajoso e muito competente.

Te amamos muito! Pai e Tati

Zion que orgulho ver você chegar até aqui!!!! Desejo que seu caminho seja de muitas conquistas e sucesso. Voa alto, Zion!!! Dedique-se com amor e foca em seu objeto, e o mundo vai ser pequeno para você!!!! Te amo e estarei sempre aqui para você!!!

Health Protocols

After many months of remote learning due to the pandemic, Chapel gradually started to reopen the campus for classes. Once we had developed a set of health and safety protocols to ensure everyone’s well-being, we started by bringing a number of students to campus so they could engage in sports and extracurricular activities. On-campus classes followed on rotating days. Some of the new measures we enacted included checking temperatures, using face masks, and physical distancing. Classrooms and other student spaces were sterilized and re-organized to maintain a healthy, optimal learning environment. Chapel constructed three new classrooms in the auditorium, while the Elementary and High School libraries were also re-purposed as classrooms. We also installed polycarbonate table shields on desks and lunch tables. We are proud that the Chapel community came together to maintain the safest environment possible for students, teachers and staff. Although campus life is indeed different, being back at school has certainly provided an incentive to continue teaching and learning in the most optimistic way possible.

High School Clubs

CIC - Chapel's Investment Club

Advisor: Mr. Vinicius Carmello

The main goal of Chapel’s Investment Club (CIC) is to analyze national and international economic scenarios through the study of microeconomics and macroeconomics. In addition, with the aid of stock exchange simulators we also carry out a general analysis of fixed income markets, stock markets, as well as personal and corporate finances. The Chapel Investment Club meets every Friday from 3:15 to 4:15 p.m. Students: Guilherme Vercelli, Tomas Miraglia, Franco Stella, Guilherme Tocantins, Qingtian (Bobby) Huang, Arthur Almeida, Cezario Caram Filho, João Arantes, Antonio Rangel, and Bruno Monte Alto.

Computer Programming

Advisor: Mr. Marcos Müller

The Programming Club is geared towards students who have finished at least one semester of the Introduction to Computer Science course and serves as a place where students can continue practicing the skills acquired during the course. In an environment resembling a real life software studio, students create software with a focus on identifying issues that can be improved or solved through the creation of software. This software can then be used in the school community. Students are currently working on multiple projects such as software for controlling reservations of resources by teachers, a system to keep track of students' results in Physical Education tests, and a system to help a non-governmental organization (NGO) keep track of the people they assist. The 2020-2021 members of the club are: Henrique Rocha, Matheus Becklas, Pedro de Marchi, and Rodrigo Garrido.

Newspaper Club

Advisor: Ms. Fernanda Caires

The Chapel Newspaper Club, responsible for the Trojan News, is Chapel School’s online student-run newspaper. During the 2020-2021 school year, the club published pieces about school life during the pandemic and other articles about the school community. Writing under the slogan “Trojan Integrity, a Modern Outlook”, the club is open to students from 7th to 12th grades. Students who participated this year are: Enzo Menghini, Henrique Rocha, Leticia Barbosa, Santiago Carvallo Herrera, Sofia Velasco Ulloa, and Victoria Oliveira.

Knowledge Bowl

Advisor: Mr. Bryan Sanders

Knowledge Bowl is an academic tournament consisting of teams from various international schools in Brazil, Chile, and Panama. Teams work collaboratively and apply their multidisciplinary knowledge to answer questions in various subjects ranging from mathematics and history to popular culture. Students are able to meet like-minded students from other schools at competitions. Due to the coronavirus, however, we have had to put a hold on our travel plans. The team is excited about future travel and competitions, as we have been practicing on Zoom every Friday afternoon. Any student is able to join our Knowledge Bowl Club and attend weekly practices. If competing and traveling excite you, consider joining us as we are actively recruiting members. This year’s Knowledge Bowl club consisted of Elren Yeongin Chae (Captain), Beatriz de Oliveira Abram, Pedro Loureiro, and Marco Montini.

MedClub

Advisor: Mr. Leonardo Silveira

The Med Club discusses current topics in medicine, including information about diseases and preventative measures. The club’s main goals are to develop students’ critical thinking and communication skills and create a friendly environment to share experiences while building appreciation for learning topics in the medical field. The meetings are led by Arthur Almeida (Grade 12) under the supervision of Mr. Silveira every Tuesday from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Students have discussed Covid-19, the Heimlich maneuver, depression, vaccines and anti-vax movements, strokes, signs of stress in teenagers, as well as other thought-provoking issues. Students from different grades participated this year: Arthur Almeida, Maria Rosa Aboud (12th), Barbara Lara (7th), Luiza Hanftwurzel, and Joao Reszecki (9th).

National Junior Honor Society (NJHS)

Advisor: Mr. Erico Padilha

The chapter of the National Junior Honor Society carried out yet another disputed selection process. It started in August 2020, with 22 candidate students who had an academic performance equal to or greater than 3.2 (GPA), the selection process held twelve online meetings through January 2021. At the end of the selection, which sought to assess the degree of commitment and engagement of students during the activities carried out in the semester, we highlighted responsibility, group work, leadership ability and maintaining a commitment routine with the new dynamics of remote teaching and learning. In addition to the new challenges imposed by the pandemic, students who competed for a place in the NJHS chapter also had to submit three letters of recommendation. Each was voluntarily written by a teacher who, outside of chapter meetings, was also able to assess students' conduct during regular classes. At the end of the selection process the names of the finalists were submitted for approval by the Faculty Council so they could, after a thorough review, approve the five finalists. With the inclusion of new members, the Chapel School NJHS chapter today has a student body of 19 students: Antonia B. Villain, Beatriz Abram, Catalina Miraglia, Diego Garcia Unzueta, Eduarda Gervazoni, Felipe Menezes, Fernando Ackel, Lucas De Salles, Marco Montini, Maria Clara Rodrigues, Maria Victoria Damaa, Mariana Silva Kokudai, Sophia Correa, Antonio Andrade, Ana Luiza Meira Justo, Barbara Lara, Barbara Monte Alto, Eduardo Serpa, and Mel de Melo Arantes. The NJHS chapter put into practice a leadership project in April 2021 in which students invited CEOs of tech companies to participate in a cycle of lectures.

Sandra Montes, Vice President of Marketing for OLX and the mother of two of Chapel students, presented the first lecture.

National Honor Society (NHS)

Advisor: Mr. Bryan Sanders

The NHS is a worldwide organization with a specific focus on community service. At Chapel, members meet every Tuesday at 7 a.m. to elaborate on projects which benefit our local community. Membership is selective and candidates must adhere to four key pillars: character, scholarship, leadership, and service. This year the NHS implemented a series of projects, including raising money for outreach organization Fogao Na Rua (which assists the homeless) and internal community wellness campaigns to provide support and connection to the students in the Chapel community. Due to Covid and the ensuing pandemic, our meetings and planning sessions have been entirely online. But we have been surprisingly effective at promoting community virtually within the school through our Chapel NHS Instagram page @chapelnhs and raising money for those in need. Next year we intend to carry out even more projects. Members: Guadalupe Lastra (Co-President), Amanda Monte Alto (Co-President), Pedro Loureiro (Vice-President), Francisco Prado (Secretary), Qing Tian Huang, Elren Chae, Antonella Valbuena, Guilherme Vercelli, Isabela Kokudai, Matheus Vourodimos, Sofia Azevedo, Valentina Elias, Sofia Velasco, and new members Luisa Tolda, Bruna Simoes, Bruno Monte Alto, and Marina Silva.

STEM Club (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)

Advisor: Mr. Bruno D’Elia

STEM Club is a student-led club that is held every Monday from 7:10 to 7:55 in Room 21A. We use the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to research and carry out a multitude of projects with real-world applications. This is not only a club for students who want to pursue a STEM career, but also a place for those looking for an amusing environment to discuss any topic from medicine to robot domination. The main highlights of this year were the passionate STEM-related debates and fun tournaments we carried out, as well as projects like constructing a ‘shirt cannon’ and a bird house. The students in the club are: Amanda Monte Alto, Bobby Huang, Omar Daher, Yeongin (Elren) Chae, and Zion Fontana.

Math Team

Advisors: Mr. Jaisen Bell and Ms. Marina Cajado

This year the Math Team participated in the Math Kangaroo Competition, an international competition that annually gathers around 6 million participants from more than 80 countries. Chapel had several award winners: Yeongin (Elren) Chae (Grade 11) earned gold for scoring in the top 1% in Brazil; Beatriz Abram (Grade 8) earned silver (top 2%); and Qing Tian (Bobby) Huang (Grade 12) received honorable mention (top 4% in the country). Pedro Loureiro (Grade 11) scored high enough to also earn honorable mention (top 4%), but he was not awarded, since only 10% of any school's participants can receive honors when the test is taken online. Students who participated this year are: Amanda Monte Alto, Ana Clara Martins, André Laranja, Beatriz Abram, Bruno Pereira, Gabriela Rueda Gonzalez, João Reszecki, Luisa de Marchi, Mariana Menezes, Pedro Loureiro, Qingtian Huang (Bobby, Rebecca Jensen Sykora, So Min Park, Valentina Domiano, and Yeongin Chae (Elren)

Yearbook Club

Advisor: Ms. Fernanda Caires

The Yearbook Club aims to provide an opportunity for Chapel students to learn about teamwork, responsibility, brainstorming, content, writing, headlines, captions, editing, photography, and graphic design. All members work together to create a yearbook that captures the contributions and achievements of our Chapel community, as well as highlight and preserve the memories of each school year. During the 2020-2021 school year, the club worked on the production of this very special yearbook and took great pride in it. The Yearbook Club is open to students from 9th to 12th grades. Meetings take place every Monday and Tuesday at 3:15 pm. Previous knowledge on Photoshop and InDesign are desirable. Our members this year are: Isabella Franchini, Leticia Barbosa, Luana Moussa, Mariana Cadore, and Sofia Buazar.

Art ECEC

This year was an atypical year, but that did not stop students from creating beautiful pieces of Art. They showed creativity, persistence, and a lot of imagination through activities based on the elements of art. The Art Department offered extensive knowledge and a variety of materials. Students improved their artistic vocabulary, learned more about different cultures, and participated in interdisciplinary. Keep up the hard work, my little artists!

Ms. Camila Costa

This was an atypical year for the students, but we continued to be creative and learn about the elements of art. The students were able to experience art at home and at school, and we fostered the sense of belonging to the community. During the online Art classes we had parents and siblings participating in the art experiences, and creating art together as a family. Students were able to express themselves during these classes using different types of materials and techniques.

Ms. Cristina El Dib

Art Elementary School

Art High School

What a different school year this was, and still we had it filled with ART! Through remote and hybrid learning students gained experience with many different techniques and art styles. Students received individual art kits with all the materials they needed to produce amazing compositions. To support our students there was also an ‘Art Lab’ (on campus when possible and once a week via Zoom) to enrich students' learning. Once again our students designed beautiful covers for the Chapel Agenda contest. Some of our 7th Graders' experiences included shading with pencils and coloring pencils, learning about foreground, middle ground and background using modeling paste, and creating a character using acrylic paint on canvas. Some of our 8th Graders' experiences included using dry materials on optical art and pop art compositions. They also explored colors using acrylic paint and a color wheel. They built a fantastic creature using cold porcelain. Some of our 9th graders' experiences included creating light contrast on drawings done on black papers. Students portrayed moments from their vacation, applied all the colors of the spectrum to a canvas, and finger-painted on a wooden board using modeling paste. Some of our 10th graders' experiences included learning more about color schemes through oil pastels, and creating two dimensional landscapes with modeling paste. They also created a surreal painting about pandemics using acrylic paint. Our IB Art students explored different techniques and continued their individual production of studio works. They also experimented with many materials and researched a variety of cultures through their Investigation Books, as well as through their comparative study. And on a final note, though the IB Art show this year was smaller compared to previous years it was still stunning! Congratulations dear Art students. I am very proud of you!

Ms. Sylvia Almeida

Due to the pandemic, schools in São Paulo could not participate in competitions and interschool events during the 2020-2021 academic year. To keep our students healthy and engaged in physical activities, at the end of August 2020, Chapel offered online extracurricular activities for Elementary and High School students. Students participated in activities such as pilates, functional training, basketball, yoga, Chinese, cooking, crocheting, and gardening, to name a few. Then in October 2020, Chapel resumed in-person extracurricular activities on campus, such as individual soccer and individual basketball practices. Health and safety protocols were followed during all sports practices and activities on campus.

Shared Memories

This year we all had to use our imagination to make it happen!

During this difficult time it was very special to bring ART, colors, and fun for students and families.

Ms. Cristina El Dib, Art Teacher

Bebel had a special companion for online classes – our dog Boris also learned a great deal ;) Isabel Luz, Kindergarten

During quarantine, I had the chance to combine two things that I love: art and horses. Lately, I have been dedicating myself to drawing portraits of these remarkable animals!

Victoria Pizzonia, 10th grade

Celebrating his 4th birthday in a video call with Ms. Li. His first socially distanced birthday (November 2020).

Alexandre Alves Gomes Filho, Pre I

I would like to share one of our most emotional moments of the pandemic: when our Isabella decided to make a card to honor her teachers on Teachers’ Day! She had not even met her teachers in person, but she already felt such love for them! It was so special to see this affection and to feel the warmth in the eyes of every Chapel teacher and staff member. You guys are the best!! - The Morata family Isabella Morata, Kindergarten

Remote learning was a real challenge, but the love, patience, creativity, and dedication that teachers put into it every day made it so much easier!

Benjamin Godoy, Pre I

- Enjoying Ms. Gabriela’s amazing cooking classes. Thank you, Ms. Gabriela! Love your fantastic classes.

- Little Ms. Wade! Feeling so grateful to all Chapel teachers who gave their best during these difficult times.

- What amazing videos Ms. Karina prepared! You deserve an Oscar because of your beautiful smile that brought us comfort in these difficult times. We love you!

- Helping each other during quarantine. Love these positive moments during lockdown.

- Funny hairstyle! We love it. Thank you, teachers, for all your creativity that brought us smiles.

- Sometimes homeschooling was super hard. We missed going to school. Hope we could hide in a box from reality like Nico did. Nicolas Mazzini, 2nd grade and Clara Mazzini, 5th grade

This was a very unique year, especially considering it wasHelena’s first year at school and Henrique moved to the Elementary School! There were so many memorable moments: Meeting the teachers for the first time at the drive-through; the first-ever day at school after 4 months online; online classes (almost a miracle!); new activities such as yoga, as well as cooking on special dates!

Remote learning was challenging but fun and rewarding, as the kids learned how to be adaptable - a lifelong skill!

Helena Brandão, Pre I and Henrique Brandão, 1st grade

Marina and I chose a few photos that capture how Chapel, in such a special and professional manner, managed to transform these “difficult times” (during the pandemic) into sweet and memorable home learning. My “Classroom” at home – celebrating 30 days of home learning, thinking it would all be over soon….LOL

Thank you, Chapel, for every gesture, for all the care and tenderness and the smooth transition from face-to-face to virtual learning. Thanks for always being available!

Daniela Hammerat (Mother) and Marina Almeida (3rd grade)

Carolina takes home learning very seriously. Every day she chooses just the right ‘look’. The most important milestone this year was that she started to write her last name while online.

Chapel United Spirit: Cooking Class

Though these have been strange times, she always kept this beautiful smile on her face.

Liz Postali, Kindergarten

Chapel keeping up our spirits while cooking during the pandemic. New experiences!

Tiny Cooking Class!

Anna Beatriz Lima, 4th grade and Enrico Lima, 4th grade

If we really have to stay at home, at least during the afterschool classes we can learn how to cook!

Attending online classes together!

Antônia Gurgel and Gibran Taha, Pre II

This was an unusual year! Some difficult moments, but valuable for our little ones.They learned that we can and must adapt to everything that life hands us; that with effort and dedication, anything is possible. They learned in a light and fun way, thanks to the great teachers at Chapel! Thank you for your dedication, your patience, and above all, for bringing the school into our homes in such uncertain and challenging times.

Gibran Taha, Pre II and Aysha Taha, Pre I

As a mother, I would like to share with you some important moments of inspiration, using innovative types of playdough created from corn dough for nachos or even Luisa’s crayons. They gave her an opportunity to express what she was feeling and, above all, to see things from a different perspective.

Roberta Funaro, Mother and Luisa Yoshimoto, 2nd grade

In 2020, during home learning, I learned how to do a 3D form shape in Mr. Otávio’s technology class.

Tony Choo, 3rd grade

During my first semester of home learning, I attended cooking class and I made this wonderful apple pie!!

Davi Choo, 5th grade

Some of the best moments that Gahyun had during remote learning were during Art classes, but there were many other good moments! She started to go to Chapel in January 2021 and coming to school to meet the teacher and friends was a very special day!

Gahyun Kim, 3rd grade

Even though on-line learning was unexpected and unusual, we saw the school come into our homes, motivating and bringing joy to our children, developing activities with materials we had around the house, like playing cards, plants, plastic bottles, paint, coins, cords, cups, and more. Art was portrayed through nature, sounds emerged from cups, and math was made more interesting with letters, coins, and bingo games. Beyond engagement, the dedication and love of the teachers were essential in overcoming the immense challenges of the pandemic.

Perrelli Family – Letícia Perrelli, 3rd grade, Luis Felipe Perrelli, 9th grade

While Duda has always taken her remote learning activities very carefully, Manu notably prefers to study in-person and not online!

Maria Eduarda Salgado, 5th, and Manuela Salgado, 3rd grade

“I liked school at home because you can spend more time with your family and you get to do classes in a different order if you want. I like going to school because you get to play with your friends and meet different teachers.”

William Koppy, 1st Grade

“I liked being able to help my sister with her activities.”

Oliver Koppy, Kindergarten

“I like the real Chapel School!”

Shea Koppy, Pre I

The past school year was difficult in so many aspects, but here are a few examples of the silver lining behind this dark cloud:

- Participating in the first MUN Conference in November 2020

- Solving Math problems with the help of a pet

- Traveling and attending school at the same time!

Thank you very much to all Chapel students, teachers, and staff, for effectively ‘changing the tire while driving it’!

Glaser Family - Leo Glaser, 9th grade, and Daniel Glaser, 7th grade

Chapel’s hybrid teaching has enabled children to learn a new way of studying. Starting the year in Kinder during the pandemic was very challenging for Carol, as she was becoming familiar with the alphabet. With the efforts of teachers and assistants, Carol was able to learn to read and write.

We hope that soon we can go every day to face-to-face classes and that we will have good memories of home learning.

Ana Carolina Ohara, Kindergarten

We chose a few moments from this year… Every day, Laura chose a different part of the house to be her classroom. The day in the bathtub was the most fun!

The story was so relaxing that Pedro fell asleep. Since we couldn’t go to school with our friends, we recreated the school inside our home.

Laura Jesus, 3rd grade, and Pedro Jesus, Pre II

The day I finally met my teacher, Ms. Gabriela, in person (Children’s Day at Chapel Drive-Through). It took me a long time to get to this very special moment of face-to-face interaction.

Homeschooling on a cold day: the advantage of remote learning is being able to stay cozy at home, close to mommy and daddy.
