“Ossaye Casa de Arte” a New Cultural Proposal
Santo Domingo, May 5 2015

The Colegio Luis Muñoz Rivera Scientific-Cultural Fair is a complex event that begins at the start of the school year. All curricular areas participate around a central theme to promote the comprehensive learning of the students by performing works that meet the requirements of scientific research, and which culminate with the public presentation of the results by the students of early childhood education, and those of primary and high school..

On this occasion the theme was El Agua en tus Manos” (The Water in Your Hands), and its main objective was to promote the students’ appreciation and greater responsibility in the management and use of water, an essential resource for life.

The Scientific-Cultural Fair was dedicated to the founders of the School Luis Muñoz Rivera, Dr. Félix Rodríguez Quiñones and Mrs. Elvira Medina de Rodríguez. There was a competition for painting the founders’ portraits, which took place under the guidance of Viviana Collado, Professor of Plastic Arts. The winners were: Jean Manuel Pérez, 3rd. Grade of Primary School, with a very successful pencil sketch of Mr. Rodríguez, and María Lucía Miller, 3rd. Year of High School, who also produced a high quality portrait of Mrs. Rodríguez.

The opening ceremony took was held in the framework of an artistic presentation developed by the students of the Performing Arts, Choir and Dance, under the leadership of Juan Núñez, Melvin Barrientos and Mariel Reyes, who teach those subjects, and with the enthusiastic presence of parents, family and other guests. A team from the Protocol office guided the guests through the various galleries where the students showcased their projects, demonstrating their mastery of knowledge, tools and skills that are essential to their training.

It is important to note that this event had the full support of the parents and guardians of the students who, through the Association, demonstrated once again that, when the home and the school work together, it is possible to enforce the institution’s slogan, which reads: Hacia la Cumbre! (Toward the Summit!)
