On July 30, 2024, the Children of Africa School System (CASS) held its much-anticipated end of year assembly at the Hon. Foday Fahnbulleh Guest House. This annual event, enjoyed by both staff and students, marked a reflective end to the academic year and an opportunity to celebrate outstanding achievements. Funding for this event was provided by Kinder Afrikas e.V. to recognize staff and students who have excelled in their classes during the 2023/2024 academic year.

The evening brought together the dedicated teachers of CASS and the duxes of each class, creating a vibrant atmosphere of camaraderie and celebration. For the educators, it was a time to pause and reflect on the academic year that had just ended, and to appreciate the collective efforts and milestones achieved throughout the year. The celebration allowed them to relax and share in the success of their students, recognizing the hard work and dedication that defined the year.

For the Student Duxes, the gathering was a momentous occasion. Recognized as the top performers among their peers, these students had the unique privilege of dining with their administrators and teachers. The opportunity to celebrate their academic excellence in such a distinguished setting was both an honor and a source of immense pride.

The evening was a delightful blend of fine dining and engaging conversation. It was a time for faculty and students to interact outside of the formal classroom environment, fostering stronger relationships and mutual respect. The elegant setting of the Hon. Foday Fahnbulleh Guest House added to the significance of the event, providing a fitting backdrop for the celebration of achievements and shared experiences.

As the event drew to a close, there was a strong sense of accomplishment and anticipation for the future. The year-end gathering not only celebrated past successes, but also set a positive tone for the coming academic year. It reinforced the values of hard work, dedication, and the pursuit of excellence that are central to the CASS ethos.

In essence, the 2023/2024 year-end celebration was a fitting tribute to the dedication of both staff and students, marking the end of a successful academic year and paving the way for future accomplishments.
