21-12-2023, THE DAY TO REMEMBER: MY FAREWELL TO "RAFAEL DIESTE"

I'll always remember how you said goodbye to me on the last day at school before Christmas, which was also my last day as an English school teacher.

Thanks a lot to all teachers and students who planned this massive and emotional farewell. 

Thanks to the students in 3ºB for your present, a box of chocolates, that I was very glad to share with you.

Thanks to the students in 3ºC, who wanted me to be in their Christmas photos.

Thanks to all my students in the other groups who gave me a round of applause in each last class.

Thank you all!

Special thanks to Pablo Benito (3ºC), Aida, Marisa & Mateo for the photos and videos.
