The American School Foundation of Guadalajara, A.C.

Every hero has an origin story, and this one’s coming to an unforgettable close. Our Class of 2026 brought the DC Universe to life one last Halloween, reminding us that true power lies in unity, creativity, and heart. We’ll miss you, heroes. 💥🖤

Once a year, our entire campus transforms. Hallways, classrooms, and offices filled with laughter, color, and creativity. From the littlest witches to the mightiest heroes, Halloween at ASFG is a tradition that brings our whole community to life. 🎃🧡🔮👻

Con gran cariño y respeto, honramos nuestras tradiciones mexicanas con el Altar de Muertos de este año, dedicado a nuestro querido compañero Edgar Rivera, quien fue especialista en seguridad. 🧡🏵️ Gracias a la Asociación de Padres y al Programa Mexicano por hacerlo posible, y a todas las secciones que se unieron para compartir memoria, color y comunidad.

Our brave Warriors rolled up their sleeves for the Influenza Vaccination Campaign in collaboration with IMSS. As one of our students said, “Es un pellizquito que me pone una armadura para que no me den enfermedades.” 🛡️🦠 Thank you to our students, families, and staff for protecting not only themselves, but our entire community.

Our International Family Day booths celebrated the heart of our community. Families shared a little piece of home through food, traditions, and stories, filling campus with warmth and color. At ASFG, belonging feels like finding a home that embraces every journey and connects us all. 🌎✨

Thank you, ASFG community! 💙🛟 Your kindness and generosity during our Open Houses and Rec Night filled the ASFG Helps Bodega with essential supplies. This week, ASFG Helps is sending $8,000 pesos to Cruz Roja in Veracruz to support communities affected by the recent floods. We’ve also prepared a large donation for areas near Puerto Vallarta that have been impacted by heavy rains. Thanks to your continuous support, ASFG can respond quickly when help is needed most. ASFG Helps is always open to receive donations for today’s emergencies and tomorrow’s. Together, we make a difference.

Middle School Rec Night! At ASFG, we believe learning also happens through connection and joy. Our Rec Nights give students a space to relax, have fun, and strengthen friendships through music, dancing, games, and food, all within a safe and welcoming community environment. Thank you to everyone who made this special night possible

🌶️🍊🥑 From vibrant colors to familiar smells and new flavors, our international families experienced the heart of Guadalajara at the Mercado de Abastos. With the support of our Parents Association, this trip went beyond the supermarket, immersing us in textures, tastes, and traditions that make Mexico so unique. We are deeply grateful for their commitment to creating spaces of belonging and community for all our families.

🌎 More than 100 universities from Mexico, the U.S., Canada, and Europe joined us at ASFG for our annual College Fair. Our students explored academic opportunities, connected directly with admissions representatives, and prepared to take their next steps with confidence. Thank you to our High School Office, Parents Association, and counselor Serena Milstone for making this event possible and continuing to guide our Warriors toward their university futures.

This weekend, our ASFG community and friends from the broader community came together in Providencia for EcoRace 2025.

On International Day of Peace, our Model United Nations high school students visited Early Childhood to share the dove of peace and remind us that peace begins in our everyday actions. Watching our youngest learners discover this symbol for the first time was a gentle reminder that hope grows stronger when we nurture it together. At ASFG, we believe that each generation carries the power to build a more peaceful world, and it starts with community, kindness, and connection. 🕊️💙

Today we took part in the national earthquake drill, remembering 1985 and strengthening our safety practices. Caring for our Warriors means being prepared, informed, and ready together. 🚨🦺⚠️

🇲🇽🫀 Celebramos con orgullo nuestras raíces y tradiciones. Gracias al Programa Mexicano por organizar una hermosa conmemoración que nos recuerda la importancia de nuestra historia y cultura. En ASFG, nos alegra compartir esta celebración no solo con México, sino también con todas las nacionalidades que forman parte de nuestra comunidad. ¡Juntos honramos, aprendemos y celebramos!

🛤️💺Este fin de semana nuestra comunidad ASFG tuvo la oportunidad de vivir una experiencia única a bordo de Dr. Vagón, el tren de la salud de Fundación Grupo México.

Gracias a la iniciativa de nuestra exalumna Ana Sofía Lanczyner ’05, Subdirectora de Salud y Entretenimiento en la Fundación, conocimos de cerca el impacto de este innovador proyecto itinerante que lleva atención médica gratuita a miles de familias en todo México.

🌎 En ASFG, el service learning nos enseña que lo aprendido trasciende el aula y se convierte en compromiso real con la comunidad. Este recorrido no solo nos acercó a una labor inspiradora, también fortaleció los lazos entre generaciones de exalumnos, familias y staff, recordándonos que la comunidad ASFG permanece activa y solidaria mucho más allá de la graduación.

💚 Agradecemos a Ana Sofía, al equipo en Dr. Vagón y a todas las familias que nos acompañaron. Estas alianzas son las que hacen de ASFG Alumni una red de valor y compromiso social.
