Χαιρόμαστε που το σχολείο μας τίμησε την Παγκόσμια Ημέρα Καβάφη, που εορτάστηκε στις 29 Απριλίου στον Βόλο, έστω και νοητά. Παρόλο που η εκδήλωση πραγματοποιήθηκε στον Βόλο, η δική μας συμμετοχή από την Αμερική έδειξε την αφοσίωσή μας στον σπουδαίο αυτό ποιητή και το πλούσιο έργο του. Στείλαμε βίντεο με μαθητές μας να απαγγέλουν ποιήματα του Καβάφη, εκφράζοντας με αυτόν τον τρόπο τον σεβασμό και την αγάπη μας για την ποίησή του. Η νοητή μας συμμετοχή αποτέλεσε μια όμορφη και ουσιαστική γέφυρα που μας ένωσε με τους υπόλοιπους εορταστές, διανύοντας χιλιάδες χιλιόμετρα. Συγχαρητήρια στους μαθητές μας, Δημήτρη και Δωροθέα Γαλανού, Φώτη Μαυρόπουλο και Ευφροσύνη Χαλά, για την άψογη ερμηνεία τους των ποιημάτων "Πόλις" και "Ιθάκη". Ευχόμαστε η Παγκόσμια Ημέρα Καβάφη να αποτελέσει πηγή έμπνευσης για όλους μας, ώστε να συνεχίσουμε να τιμούμε και να διαδίδουμε την πλούσια ελληνική λογοτεχνία, κληρονομιά αιώνων και αστείρευτη πηγή έμπνευσης!
