A Day of Remembrance and Pride at DES

Today at DES, we honoured the national anniversary of October 28th with respect and emotion. From our youngest to our oldest students, the school was filled with colours, flags, and songs in a celebration dedicated to memory, peace, and freedom.

In the school courtyard, our students proudly marched, holding their flags high and paying tribute to the heroes of 1940. Their voices came together in a shared rhythm — one of gratitude for all those who fought for our country and its ideals.

The younger children travelled back to 1940 through stories, songs, and art, discovering the power of the word “No” and the courage of the women of Epirus. Our students created their own doves of peace, filled with words and feelings, while the older ones, through literature, reflection, and writing, gave voice and meaning to remembrance.

Today was more than just a celebration — it was a reminder that history lives on in the hearts of our children, in every look, every smile, and every word written to help us remember.
