Sister Schools of San Diego is a non- profit organization dedicated to promoting cross- cultural understanding by connecting schools around the globe. Classrooms separated by border, culture, and geography are united through similar interests and common principles. Students participate in collaborative projects ranging from literature and social development to science and technology.
By connecting classrooms worldwide, we use the academic setting to conquer ignorance, bridge cultural gaps, and create international friendships.
Our latest project was our Bi- National Spelling Bee held at the San DiegoEducationCenter facilities, in which schools from both sides of the border participated in this magnum event.
Our representatives from the USA were: Perkins , Capri and Del Sur elementary and us, Instituto Miguel de Cervantes as one of Mexico’s participants. All students came in with high hopes of achieving great results, they were both confident and alert and showed a great deal of maturity throughout the competition, all of them did great but only a few could succeed and so our students surpassed our expectations achieving great results, from the 6 students that represented us 5 of them went on to the finals, we were very proud of each and everyone of them.
Our results in each category were:
1st grade Giovanna Villaseñor Chee 2nd place
2nd grade Laura Ruiz Johnson 3rd place
3rd grade Sabrina Siqueiros Tenorio Diploma
4th grade Alejandro Torres Terrazas 3rd place
5th grade José Sánchez Ruiz 3rd place
6th grade Israel Trujillo Quintero 1st place
We would like to encourage and thank our parents and students for their hard work and great effort and invite them to continue in this wonderful journey called “learning”.
Congratulations to all !!
