A pesar de la situación vivida hoy, que ya está controlada y con el sol de nuevo presente, el colegio ha seguido funcionando con calma y responsabilidad.
Durante toda la jornada hemos mantenido el contacto con las familias y, siempre con supervisión y las medidas de seguridad necesarias, nuestros alumnos han podido disfrutar de la nieve en el patio.
Nos quedamos, sobre todo, con el compromiso y la colaboración de toda la comunidad educativa —equipo de mantenimiento, profesorado y personal del centro— trabajando juntos en un día poco habitual para garantizar la seguridad y el bienestar de nuestros alumnos.
Esperamos que todos estéis bien.

Despite today’s situation, which is now under control and with the sun back out, the school continued to operate calmly and responsibly.
Throughout the day, we remained in close contact with families and, always under supervision and with the necessary safety measures in place, our students were able to enjoy the snow in the playground.
Above all, we would like to highlight the commitment and collaboration of the entire school community — maintenance staff, teachers, and school personnel — working together on an unusual day to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students.
We hope you are all well.

¿Qué se siente al vivir un día como una persona mayor?
Nuestros alumnos han podido experimentarlo gracias a un taller muy especial, guiado por una madre del colegio y profesora universitaria experta en Medicina Preventiva y Salud Pública.
Durante la actividad, sintieron de primera mano los cambios físicos y sensoriales que trae la edad, desde la movilidad y coordinación hasta pequeños desafíos cotidianos que muchos mayores enfrentan. Una experiencia que va más allá de lo académico y que invita a mirar el mundo con más empatía y comprensión.
Una vivencia que nos recuerda la importancia de acompañar y respetar mejor a nuestros mayores en el día a día.

What does it feel like to live a day as an older adult?
Our students had the chance to experience this in a very special workshop, led by a parent from the school and a university professor, expert in Preventive Medicine and Public Health.
During the activity, they felt firsthand the physical and sensory changes that come with age, from mobility and coordination to the small everyday challenges many older adults face. This experience goes beyond academics and encourages us to look at the world with more empathy and understanding.
A powerful reminder of the importance of supporting and respecting older adults every day.

La solidaridad forma parte de nuestra manera de educar
Queremos dar las gracias a toda la comunidad del Colegio Europeo de Madrid por su implicación en la Operación Kilo.
Los alumnos de 3º de ESO, dentro del programa CAS (Creatividad, Acción y Servicio) del IB, han sido los impulsores de esta iniciativa solidaria que, gracias a la colaboración de familias, alumnado y equipo CEM, ha permitido recaudar 392 kilos de alimentos en colaboración con el Banco de Alimentos, para quienes más lo necesitan.
Acciones como esta reflejan los valores que trabajamos cada día en CEM y refuerzan la importancia de educar en la empatía, el compromiso y la ayuda a los demás.

Solidarity is part of the way we educate.
We would like to thank the entire Colegio Europeo de Madrid community for their involvement in the Operación Kilo.
Students in Year 9 (3º ESO), as part of the IB CAS (Creativity, Activity and Service) programme, led this solidarity initiative. Thanks to the collaboration of families, students and the CEM team, we were able to collect 392 kilos of food in collaboration with the Food Bank, supporting those who need it most.
Initiatives like this reflect the values we work on every day at CEM and reinforce the importance of educating in empathy, commitment and helping others.
