Juan Maria

In this school, as we all know, a festival called Juan Maria is held during the last week of November. It is done in commemoration to the founder of the school, who has the same name as the festival.

During this week the children of the entire school, from the youngest like those in the nursery, to the older ones like those of the high school, do all kinds of activities. The little ones usually drink hot chocolate, go to the Chimipark or even watch movies. But as you get older the activities become funnier, since soccer, basketball, burned fields competitions, “The cross” and other kinds of activities are done.

What’s more, once you get into high school, all the students go to the festival and even those students from past years who have already finished school! During the festival many games are done between classes, awards of the competitions made previously are delivered and music is played to dance.

All this is great, but really, the special thing about this week are the T-shirts we wear. These T-shirts are not ordinary, each course has assigned one colour (blue, green, yellow, red, pink and orange). But that is not all, also on the back of it we can find all the names of each student in your course and finally, of course, it is also important to bring a marker to sign the shirts together
