To the Future!


What are we going to do for future Aims classes?


In a future Aims class, we will follow up with our idea and we take half a day off to take the orphanage kids to Pingvin, an ice-skating place in Belgrade.We might also organize a basketball game for them. We are also going to try and help other ‘needy’ people such as, the disabled, poor, etc... Hopefully we will come up with another idea to help someone else that’s just as effective as our last idea was.


Goals + Accomplishments



During Aims class, we have focused on figuring out things we can do for the more needy people in Serbia. The place that we visited so we could try and help them was the local orphanage. We took half a day off and went and took a tour at the orphanage to see what we could do. We decided that they had most of the necessities, what they really needed was happiness. So we asked ourselves, what would make them happy? We decided that what the orphanage kids would actually like is to do something fun, like ice skating. We figured out that we needed to raise a fundraiser. We came up with a bake sale, where we raised just enough money to take the orphanage kids ice skating. This will be followed up soon.







What are we all about?

AIMS is a group of Middle School students who are trying to help their society. AIMS stands for Action In Middle School and since we have started that’s what we have been doing. Our teacher, Mr. Vlad, helps us to make our ideas reality, we together decide what we are going to do. We do a variety of things to help people in all kinds of ways. Last year the students in AIMS did quite a lot from cleaning up the Danube to building a compost bin for our school. Are goal is simply to make our Middle School community as well as the city of Belgrade a better place. The great AIMS members include:
  • Julia Linderfalk
  • Maria Los
  • Emily Voorhies
  • Maria Turner
  • Sophie Moynihan
  • Lilla Lengyel
  • Jovana Curcic
  • Rafa Infante
  • Brin Mrzel

Together we are accomplishing greatness and making the “world” a better place one step at a time!
