Our annual “Caminata” (walkathon) returned to an old favorite this year – 11km up to the San Gerardo overlook, with views of Arenal volcano and lake.  Evidently this was a popular decision, as we enjoyed an increase in participation and sponsorships.

Student participation rose from 55% to 73%, and 85% of parents took part either walking or volunteering.  And the amount raised increased by 50% to $5,400.  This support will enable us to move forward with a great music and arts program, with amazing new teachers filling both those roles (welcome Hugh Grey and Pili!)

Of course, what better way to describe the fun, fatigue, art, food, and community than through these photos?
