On Friday, June 14, the graduation ceremony for the 2019 promotion of the Socrates-Demosthenes School of the Hellenic Community of Greater Montreal (HCGM) took place in a reception hall of Le Chateau in Laval. Graduating students have reached a milestone in their young lives by receiving their diplomas during a moving ceremony they will remember for a long time.
We would like to congratulate them all, and wish them the best of luck in high school, where we are sure they will be excellent ambassadors for Socrates-Demosthenes. As we celebrate 110 years of academic and global excellence, our students received the best wishes of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a video that you can see by clicking here.
It was an emotional event, a celebration of the knowledge, efforts and achievements of the 152 outstanding students of the Socrates-Demosthenes School and their dedicated teachers. Our proud students wearing their blue togas took the stage to receive their diplomas. More than 1,200 people, parents, grandparents, friends, and family were there to support and honor their success.
The honorary degree was awarded to Zoi Batsis and Aliki Daher by HCGM president Andy Crilis for their countless achievements and ongoing support for our School.
Peggy Sifakis and Xenia Vrouvides of the Socrate Educational Foundation presented a check for $ 39,686.40 to the School. We thank them sincerely for all the work and all the benefits that this sum represents.
The evening continued late into the night, with lots of dancing where everyone could channel their over-energy.
We would like to thank everyone who participated directly or indirectly in this wonderful event: the students themselves, the school teams, the parents’ committees, the sponsors and our faithful photographer, Harry Babaroutsis.
Congratulations to all of you next year!
