This year’s
Christmas decorations, which adorned the school’s main lobby during
this past December, were designed and implemented by the English
Department with the support of the students, faculty & staff, and
administration. The snowy-Christmas-scene showcased Santa's Workshop,
a heap of gifts, and elves playing in the snow - all in the shadow of a
two-story tree adorned with teddy bears.
Students and
faculty donated time and money to create the display. The teddy bears
decorating the Christmas tree are the true heart of the story for
their dual purpose:
- Adorn the ESANS for the Christmas season
- To be donated to children living in the Casa Cuna de la Paz
The Casa Cuna de la Paz (Children's Home of Peace) was founded on April
21st, 1907 by Elisa Margarita and Juvera Berruecos with
the spiritual guidance of Father José María Troncoso Herrera. The
home provides education and lodging to young children who have been
orphaned, abandoned, or who come from households with material and
moral needs. The home currently cares for 90 young boys and girls
from 3-months to 6-years of age.
Today,
student representatives from each group, led by the English
Department and supported by the school administration visited the
Casa Cuna de la Paz, located
in Colonia Condesa. During the visit students
shared time with the children living in the Casa Cuna de la Paz. They
played, showed generous affection, and gave each child one of the
teddy bears which undoubtedly filled our students and the children
with joy.
