Students from Primary and Secondary school joined forces for an unforgettable Halloween celebration where fun, teamwork, and solidarity went hand in hand. Thanks to an overwhelming turnout and enthusiastic participation from our entire educational community, we successfully raised significant funds to support research through the organization DIPG Somos Cazamounstruos. This cause holds deep meaning for us all. Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is a highly aggressive pediatric brain tumor that develops in the brainstem—the critical area controlling essential life functions such as breathing, balance, swallowing, and movement. Fully aware of the urgent need to advance scientific research against this disease, both educational stages channeled their energy into an initiative centered around a common goal. The campus was completely transformed for the occasion. Teachers joined in the festive spirit by dressing up as terrifying monsters, becoming the focal point of the day's main activity: a fusion of our traditional gymkhana and the House Competition. This time, earning points for each House had a unique, symbolic purpose: obtaining sticker dots (gommets) across various challenge stations to surround and contain their House's monster, aligning the competition with the mission to "hunt" the real monster. The true engines behind this social action initiative were our 4th ESO CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) students. They took charge of designing every challenge, choreographing a school dance, and running each station on the ground. Their dedication not only ensured the smooth flow of activities, but also fostered a deep sense of closeness, leadership, and brotherhood across all participating grade levels. Because together we proved that no monster is too big when we stand united with hope and courage—may solidarity continue to light our path this spooktacular Happy Halloween!
