Athens College Elementary School - J.M. Carras Kindergarten meets Elementary School: A first step of friendship

May 1, 2026

Once again this school year, Elementary School Grade 1 students at our School welcomed the children from J.M. Carras Kindergarten with joy, enthusiasm, and love. The children visited us on Wednesday, April 22, and got to know the Elementary School and the people who will welcome them next school year firsthand.

During the visit, the children toured the school's main areas and had a wonderful taste of daily life at the Elementary School. Grade 1 students opened their classrooms and welcomed their new little friends, participating together in a creative, collaborative activity called the “Chain of Friendship.” A powerful message was conveyed through this activity: at school, we are all united and forge bonds of friendship.

The visit continued with a picnic in the school woods, where the children enjoyed nature, relaxed, and shared moments of joy, play, and carefree fun. Before leaving, they returned to the classrooms and received a small souvenir as a memento of this first, very sweet introduction to Elementary School.

We look forward to welcoming the children in the new school year with great joy and open arms!
