Tegucigalpa, M.D.C.  August 16^th, 2016.

Greetings to the big family of St. Mary’s Episcopal School.

Specially meant to my future Science, Biology and Chemistry students, form 7^th grade to 11^th grade.

I’m about to start my first year as a Science teacher for this, respectful and kind, educational institution. I cannot hide my excitement and optimism at the moment because I believe that if you get to know where we come from, and how our matter is conformed of, this knowledge could lead you to new investigations and innovations in technology that might carry out a lot of activities yet to improve.

My personal goal is to “promote and advance scientific and investigative development through education and practice within the walls of this distinguished school, among its youthful population.

In words of Dr. Doug Ashcraft, Head of Idyllwild Arts Academy, “Cultural development and positive personal growth, mean that we want to do more to produce skilled artists”, in my case, I will like to promote novel and skilled investigators that can optimize, with my classes on Science, Biology and Chemistry, their college studies in any career they choose.

So, welcome students to my classroom and let’s see where this new academic year could leads us.

My best wishes to all of you.

Mrs. Aura Graciela Arevalo Villeda

Master in Education of Natural Sciences
St. Mary’s Episcopal School.
