As the sport season comes to an end this trimester, a large part of Écho will be dedicated this week to the talent and success of our students. They can be congratulated for their motivation, energy, progress and excellent team spirit. The trophies on display at the front desk or in the cabinet near the auditorium testify to their feats and the great leadership of their coaches: Diesa Seidel and Nicolas Margarot. Please read the following message from Ms. Seidel and let's all be proud of our young athletes!
Christian Jarlov,
Head of school
Chers parents,
Tandis que la saison de sport touche à sa fin, une grande partie de l'Écho est consacrée cette semaine au talent et au succès de nos élèves. Ils peuvent être félicités pour leur motivation, leur énergie, leur progrès et leur esprit d'équipe. Les trophées exposés à l'accueil ou sur les étagères près de l'auditorium témoignent de leurs exploits et de l'excellent travail de leurs entraineurs : Diesa Seidel et Nicolas Margarot. Lisez le message de Mrs Seidel et soyez fiers de nos jeunes athlètes !

Dear All,
As the academic school year comes to a close, we  would like to recognize the student-athletes who have trained to compete as Stingrays, all while balancing their bilingual studies.
Out of the 9 other middle schools competing in our sports league, SDFAS has truly made it's mark in athletics. The 2014-2015 sports league teams had one of the most impressive seasons to date. The school made the play-offs in ALL sports, and brought home numerous accolades to fill the school's trophy case!
First Place: Girls Cross-Country, Boys Volleyball, Girls Track & Field
Second Place: Girls Basketball, Boys Basketball, Girls Soccer
Third Place: Boys Soccer
BRAVO!
Beyond learning how to run, dribble, defend, or score points, sports serves as a vehicle for positive character development.
Participating in sports helps engender the development of emotional intelligence and maturity, as students learn to cooperate with, encourage, and empathize with their teammates. These attributes serve as pillars upon which our mission to foster respectable character traits are built.
Through sports, students develop critical life skills and build character through honoring your opponent, losing gracefully, and winning humbly.
Realizing that joy and heart goes beyond wins and losses... and being a champion is more than the score at the end of a game.
"1-2-3, WHO ARE WE?! S-D-F-A-S... WOOOO!"
GOOOO STINGRAYS!
Diesa E. Seidel
Professeur et Directeur Sportif, SDFAS
