On July 16, 2024, our elementary school students gathered in the school auditorium to take part in an enjoyable French spelling bee. Nathalie de Oliveira, Pedagogical Director of the Alliance Française of Guayaquil, joined us as a judge in recognition of her academic support and local representation of this foreign language. It was a moving event, filled with admiration for the participants’ dedication and discipline, and above all, for their great enthusiasm for learning. We congratulate Luis, Ethan, and Lucciana, who earned first, second, and third place, respectively. Their demonstrated perseverance leaves us with valuable lessons, and we hope they continue with the same drive throughout their academic journey.
