We have with us today Effie Karatopouzi, who began working at ACS Athens in 2016 as a Physical Education Teacher in the Elementary School and has undertaken different posts in the Athletic Department in all three schools and in ACS Athens Summer Camp. In 2017, she piloted a mindfulness program called Mind Body Soul (MBS) for students in Junior Kindergarten classes, which will continue to run this year.
