St. Valentine's Day at San Alvaro

The students of 4th ESO offered the classical roses and carnations to get money for their end-of-year trip. Boys, girls and teachers received this lovely detail in such a special day.

 

We also had a Valentine's card contest in Spanish, English and French. The students made some excellent works. Congratulations to the winners: 

• Patricia Acevedo (1º BTO Humanidades)
• Alba Romero (1º BTO Tecnológico)
• Rosa López (1º ESO)
• Mª Dolores Díaz (1º ESO)

The new year 2011 has begun and so the second term. This is a long, hard term,

but we are sure it will be full of opportunities to improve your English and French.

We wish you all a fun, happy year!
