Breast Cancer Awareness!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. We have made a lot of progress but still have a long way to go and need your help!

The Pink Glove Dance started as a fun way for a hospital in Portland, Oregon to support their many patients with Breast Cancer. Soon after, many other hospitals, schools and businesses started making these videos in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. Please enjoy watching!

INTERVIEW WITH THE PAPER

Hello! My name is Megan Hirsh and I am the Auxiliar of Conversation this year at A Pedra. I am very excited to get to know all of your children and of course get to know Bueu and the surrounding areas! Thus far, I have enjoyed myself immensely! While I learn about Spain and specifically Galicia, I hope to teach your children about the United States. If you have questions, please feel free to ask, but remember to ask slowly. :)

The Faro de Vigo came to school and asked questions about the United States, my time in Spain, and my favorite Spanish foods. Here is the interview.

WELCOME MEGAN

This is a mural that the children put together to help welcome me to A Pedra. The wall has information about my country and my state, Oregon. Please come read it and learn about the United States!

Here we are making the O for Oregon. At American football games, we make an O with our hands to cheer on the Ducks, our football team!
