In preparation for the El Salvador delegation and Coffee House festivities on Friday, March 23, an art gallery is being held on Wednesday, February 15th. Kelly Ercole (’11), Caitlin Regan (’11) and Mrs. Martiyan took all featured photos during the 2011 delegation’s visit to Ignacio Ellacuria. Gallery visitors will enjoy genuine El Salvadoran snacks while taking in the photos of life in the Ignacio Ellacuria community.
Last year, the teenage girls from Ignacio Ellacuria challenged the NDP delegation to a soccer game in an open dirt field. While the NDP girls ran around in tennis shoes, the Ignacio Ellacuria girls played with either flip flops of bare feet. Surprised by the lack of shoes in the community, Mrs. Martiyan is holding a shoe and soccer gear collection during the art gallery opening.
Next time you’re in the performing arts wing, take a look at a few of the photos on display. Search for a pair of tennis shoes at home which you can donate, and stroll over to the gallery opening after school on Wednesday, February 15th.
