87th Annual Track & Field Competitions “DELTEIA 2015”
Delteia 2015,” the 87th Junior High School - High School Track & Field Competitions, took place on Tuesday, March 2015. With its own distinct tone, the student percussion band declared the start of the ceremonial opening. Psychico College’s Student Community President reminded us of the “Promise” that students gave before beginning the Delteia games.
During the ceremonial opening, all of the “A” Association members and students who entered the finals paraded in front of the audience. Leading the parade was the Hellenic Police Band which honors us with its presence each year.
Following the flag-raising, national anthem and wreath-laying in memory of Stefanos Delta, father of the College, Ms. Annika Papantoniou, General Secretary of the Hellenic-American Educational Foundation’s Board of Directors, declared the opening of the games.
