Color, history, and tradition: this is how our spectacular Carnival Gala was experienced

The Carnival Gala was a showcase of talent, creativity, and cultural pride from our students, who, grade by grade, transported us through various eras and traditions with presentations full of color, music, and energy.

The celebration began with 7th grade, who took us on a journey through Europe with their “European Carnival.” Dressed in traditional costumes, performing folk dances, and offering joyful interpretations, they showcased the best of the old continent’s traditions.

Then, 8th grade took us back to the ancestral roots of the Caribbean with a heartfelt presentation inspired by the Taíno era. Their dances, attire, and stage presence paid tribute to the indigenous culture with great respect and authenticity.

Meanwhile, 6th grade amazed the audience with their portrayal of the Diablos Cojuelos, a vibrant, energetic, and colorful display that clearly demonstrated the talent and dedication of our youngest students.

The magic continued with 9th grade, who presented two of the most iconic figures of Dominican carnival: Calife and Roba la Gallina. With striking costumes, humor, and creativity, they delivered an unforgettable performance.

10th grade delighted us with their representation of Tiznao and Pintao, blending dance, narrative, and body expression to tell the story of these traditional characters with a passionate and colorful performance.

11th grade stood out with a powerful interpretation of the traditional Gagá, conveying its energy and intensity through rhythmic movements, vibrant costumes, and an admirable teamwork effort.

Finally, 12th grade brought the event to a spectacular close with their presentation of La Voz del Carnaval. Their performance combined dance, music, and stage expression to capture the festive and cultural essence of Dominican carnival, leaving a lasting impression on everyone present.

Each performance reflected the dedication, creativity, and teamwork of our students and teachers. This Carnival Gala not only celebrated our roots but also strengthened our cultural identity and community spirit.

Altheia Celebrates Valentine’s Day with a Successful Bake Sale

Our Altheia seniors successfully celebrated their Valentine’s Day sale, an event that stood out for its spirit of unity and fellowship. Every detail of the gathering reflected the close friendship that unites its members, creating an atmosphere full of magic and warmth.

Beyond the exquisite snacks, attendees shared joyful moments with laughter, cherished memories, symbolic Cupid gifts, and serenades that brought a special touch to the event.

Thanks to everyone’s support, this activity was a resounding success and raised funds for graduating students. A memorable day that strengthened community ties and celebrated the true meaning of friendship.

We celebrate our outstanding students for embodying the values of the month of January: Resilience and Integration

During the month of January, our school promoted two fundamental values for personal growth and healthy coexistence: Resilience and Group Integration. These values were worked on in the classroom, through group activities, and in daily school life, reinforcing the importance of overcoming challenges with a positive attitude and becoming an active part of a team.

As part of this initiative, we held a certificate award ceremony for students who demonstrated the meaning of these values through concrete actions. Each student was chosen for their ability to remain steadfast in the face of difficulties, adapt with flexibility, and show a spirit of collaboration and empathy within their group.

This recognition not only highlights their effort but also inspires the entire school community to continue cultivating attitudes that create positive, supportive, and resilient environments.

We congratulate all the students who were recognized on this occasion. You are an example of how values are lived beyond words, through actions that make a difference every day.
