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!

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

From IES San Álvaro, we want to join all the demonstrations and signs of solidarity showed by millions of people towards those women who suffer abuse and violence throughout the world.
The past 25th November, Thursday, we joined the other high schools in our district to express our rejection to violence against women. Our teenagers are the adults of tomorrow, and so education becomes more crucial than ever to sweep away prejudices and sexist traditions.

Here you are some pictures of the march and an interesting video. Food for thought.
