Learning to Care, Together
At Los Algarrobos School, this semester brought a unique opportunity for growth and connection. Thanks to the incredible volunteers from Quadra Academy in Philadelphia, our teachers took part in an inspiring environmental education workshop.
Through hands-on activities and meaningful conversations, we learned about the importance of protecting our planet and how small, everyday actions can create big change. This visit planted seeds of environmental responsibility and global friendship that will continue to grow in the hearts of our teachers.
With your support, we can keep building these bridges of learning, shaping young leaders committed to their communities and to the world we share.
Reimagining Waste, One Tire at a Time
At Los Algarrobos School, creativity met sustainability in the most colorful way. This semester, our students gave a second life to discarded tires—transforming them into cheerful Minion-themed planters. What once was waste is now a source of joy, beauty, and greenery on our school grounds. This project not only brightened our campus, but also planted powerful lessons in the hearts of our students: that with imagination and teamwork, we can turn problems into solutions.
With your support, we can continue inspiring young minds to care for the environment and lead change in their communities—one recycled tire at a time.
Back with Energy, Ready to Keep Growing
After a well-deserved break, the Los Algarrobos School community has returned full of energy and renewed motivation. We're excited to continue our environmental care project—because protecting our planet doesn’t take a vacation. With fresh ideas and even stronger commitment, our students and teachers are ready to take the next steps toward a greener future.
Every action counts, and with your support, we can keep planting awareness, responsibility, and hope in every corner of our school and beyond.
Thank you for being part of the change!
