1st Day!

Hurray! First Day is here and a whole year of hopes and dreams are ready.






One of my students, Santiago Franco, says a few opening remarks to the assembled Colegio Americano.





The first official act for 1st Period is a "momento civico" - a school Assembly outside in the central plaza of the school. this is a photo of the 4th and 3rd Courses (the equivalent of 10th and 9th Grades in the US).









Of course, it all starts as faculty and staff arrive and "clock-in."

So it is April 1, 2009, and a new school year has officially started! More pictures and more stories to come!
