Greek Mutual Society Athena Celebrates 100 Years of Peleta Elementary School

Greek Mutual Society Athena was honored to be present for the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Peleta Elementary School, an institution that for generations has provided education and opportunity to the children of our villages and the descendants of our forefathers.

Our Society was proud to have provided funding for the school and to have played a part in preserving and supporting education in our ancestral villages.

Society Athena was represented by President George Xerakias, along with many members who are currently visiting and vacationing in our villages from the United States.

Words cannot fully describe the beautiful and meaningful event that took place to honor the individuals who, throughout the generations, sacrificed their time, effort, and financial resources for the betterment of education in our villages.

Their dedication is a lasting legacy for our children and grandchildren. We are proud to honor their memory and continue their commitment to our communities and our heritage.

Χρόνια πολλά στο Δημοτικό Σχολείο Πελετάς για τα 100 χρόνια προσφοράς στην παιδεία και στα παιδιά των χωριών μας!

With pride in our heritage and hope for future generations,
Greek Mutual Society Athena
