Aunque el tiempo no lo parezca, ¡hoy empieza la primavera! Y qué mejor manera de celebrarlo que con el increíble trabajo de tres alumnas de Bachillerato en nuestra biblioteca.
Por iniciativa propia, han dedicado parte de sus recreos desde el inicio de curso a dar rienda suelta a su creatividad, transformando sus paredes con flores pintadas a mano. Un proyecto lleno de talento, dedicación y arte.
El resultado no podría ser más espectacular. ¡Enhorabuena, chicas!

The result couldn’t be more spectacular. Well done, girls!
