ISSUE 21, JUNE 2019 By Georgi Iliev THANK YOU FOR GIVING! Alumni have traditionally been the backbone of philanthropy at the American College of Sofia. Many contribute every year, whether AFAC-inspired or grassroots enthusiastic. That is an indispensable addition to ACS’s role as a leading school in this country and beyond. Tuition covers curriculum, but we know that the ACS experience goes so much beyond that. “Every gift, of any amount, counts towards declaring support for education done right and values uncompromised.” In that respect, this school year has been tremendous. The College has really blossomed into a community center of national and international significance, attracting TOM Makeathon, the national English Spelling Bee finals, the International Association of College Admissions Counseling’s European Institute, and Founders’ Day, just to name a few from 2019. Of course, our students are what it is all about, and they keep excelling at both academics and extracurriculars. Their FISSION international science fair, the Model United Nations conference, victorious sports trip to Israel, the European Court of Human Rights Mock Trial, TEDx, various charitable initiatives, and so on build on the traditions of ACS excellence that you have supported with your gifts in the past. Please consider renewing your support by clicking on the Support ACS button on our website. Every gift, of any amount, counts towards declaring support for education done right and values uncompromised. Our students and faculty greatly appreciate gifts like yours making all of the above possible. Information as per June 2, 2019 28
