Love & Friendship Day

 



Love and Friendship Day  (El Día de Amor y Amistad) is the Colombian version of Valentine’s Day, celebrated on the third Saturday of September each year. It is a celebration in Colombia when lovers and friends share gifts, letters and tokens of appreciation. Unlike Valentine’s Day, these gestures aren’t necessarily romantic in nature. 

There’s also the long-held tradition of sending amigos secretos (secret friendship letters). Imagine Secret Santa mixed with a secret admirer note and that’s an amigo secreto.

ENGLISH OLYMPICS 2022

The English project "Step by Step" developed its first general activity on April 7th, 2020. It was the 2ND ENGLISH OLYMPICS, where 36 students from 6th to 11th grade participated. This activity was divided into two moments: the collaborative and the individual.

The collaborative moment consisted of playing "Jeopardy" and one group was the winner. They demonstrated their English knowledge from basic to intermediate level. Congratulations!!!

The individual activity consisted of taking an English exam by levels: 6th Vs 7th grade, 8th Vs. 9th grade and 10th Vs 11th grade. We are waiting for the results.
