Frosty the Snowmen

As you might already know, last week we had a huge snowstorm and the girls didn’t want to miss the opportunity to play in the snow, making snow angels and snowmen.

Ana Sofia and Mia, two of our lovely Ecureuil Annexe neighbors, came to the house and asked us to go and play with them (we couldn’t resist, who doesn’t like to play with the snow?).

As you can imagine, we ran to put on our ski clothes and head out of the house.

First weekend back on campus

This weekend was the first one we spent on campus after the holidays (and the only one we will spend on campus this month… more news to come soon!).

Although we haven’t had snow for almost a week now, the weather didn’t want to give us even a minute of sun. But if you think a grey cloudy weekend can stop our girls, you really don’t know them.

As per usual, Akmaral enjoyed practicing tennis, but this weekend it was time to make up for all the weekends she didn’t practice tennis over the holidays and she decided to play twice!!


Sofiya had a blasting experience playing Laser Tag in Olympus. It was a hard battle where all the students were very well prepared and trained. Her team lost but that’s not the most important thing, since she had an amazing time and enjoyed meeting other students for this brave fight.


Last, but not for that less important, Kseniia decided to change activities for a weekend and enjoyed a nice and quiet Stretching and Relaxation session, where she listened to some music with her friends while making sure to stretch and be conscious about the movements she was doing.

Everybody is back in the house enjoying the last few hours of the weekend, getting ready for a new week and a new weekend… where we will be going to Leysin for our first Ski Weekend of the season!

Best,

Maria and Lina.

Wellbeing Pillar 3: Building Positive Friendships and Relationships

Coming back from the holidays means we now introduce the third pillar of our Wellbeing Program: Building Positive Friendships and Relationships.

In this new chapter, we are going to work with our girls on how to recognize healthy patterns in our friendships, what values we look for in our friends, how to be a good friend, and how to detect red flags in friendships, among others. We want to make sure have the tools to identify what good friends are made of.

For this, we asked the girls what they look for in a friend:

  • Loyalty
  • Respect
  • Love
  • Support
  • Make me feel safe


Best,

Maria and Lina
