25th June: The death of two icons

Yesterday was devastating for both the film and music industry.
The deaths of FARRAH FAWCETT and MICHAEL JACKSON shocked fans worldwide. Though there have been several tributes since their passings were announced, the most significant ones will be broadcast tonight.

Farrah Fawcett, an American actress and multiple Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee, died in Los Angeles at 62, after a long battle with cancer.

A great artist, Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, also passed away yesterday and in Los Angeles but after suffering a cardiac arrest in his home. After a life in the limelight from the age of five to fifty, "Wacko Jacko", truly lived the life of an enigmatic legend often involved in controversies, surrounded by guards and hidden behind masks / umbrellas. He will surely be remembered not only by his musical legacy but also as the singer / man who was born "black" and became "whiter and whiter" due to his many operations.

Art'e Vicios show

Another stunning success by Art'e Vicios - the show on the 19th June was fantastic, ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys.
Teachers and pupils gathered together to rehearse and prepare for this performance but it was worthwhile I can assure you! Such commitment and dedication are harder and harder to find at schools - especially now in these troubled times...

Below there is a selection of pictures taken during the event starting with the opening speech delivered by our "Principal", Eng Ramos Pereira. Then, there are several pictures of a folklore group from Alfarelos and still others from pupils/teachers playing, singing, dancing and acting on stage. The final ones include all those involved.

I hope you like them!

SMS

The correct message, ladies, was:

Hi, ladies!
I have to admit I am really sad to leave you after these 50 hours of English but, if you need me, you know where and how to find me, don't you?
It was a pleasure to work with you! I wish you all the best. Farewell...
Your teacher, Alexandra

As promised there will be prizes - one for Rosa and another for Magda!
Congratulations.
