Today we celebrated Radi’s birthday in the best way possible! We sang “Happy Birthday” to her and shared a delicious cheesecake. It was such a simple yet perfect way to show her how much she means to all of us. Radi looked so happy, and it was great to see everyone come together to make her day special.
Happy birthday, Radi! We hope you had an amazing day, and we’re so glad we could celebrate with you! Here’s to many more celebrations and good times together!

Tonight, Paola, one of our amazing students, made churros for everyone in Portena, and it was such a special treat! She brought a taste of her hometown to us, sharing these crispy, sugar-covered delights with a rich chocolate dipping sauce. The smell filled the house and instantly put everyone in a good mood, creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere after our rehearsal for the talent show.
We’re so grateful to Paola for taking the time to prepare such a delicious and thoughtful snack for all of us. It was a beautiful reminder of how small gestures, like sharing food from your culture, can bring people together and create lasting memories. Thank you, Paola, for making tonight extra sweet!

At this month’s boarding assembly, Darina and Miss Perrine presented the second part of the Well-Being Pillar; Healthy Bodies and Minds. Their presentation highlighted the importance of staying active and moving our bodies. To make it even more engaging, they prepared a video that showcased how sports and physical activity contribute to both our physical and mental health.
The video was a great reminder of how important it is to incorporate movement into our daily routines. It inspired everyone to get moving and prioritize physical activity for a healthier lifestyle. Thank you, Darina and Miss Perrine, for sharing such an energetic and motivating message!

At this month’s boarding assembly, we had the chance to hear about an incredible adventure. Mariana and Maria Fernanda, along with two other boarders, shared their experience from the trip they took to Iceland during the February break. The trip was part of a special activity offered by the boarding school, open to anyone who wanted to join.
The group talked about the stunning sights they saw, from glaciers to hot springs, and shared photos of their unforgettable journey. It was exciting to hear their stories and learn more about Iceland’s natural beauty. We’re so glad they took the time to share their adventure with us!

Every month, we have a boarding assembly, and we like to start it with some music. This month, Scarlett, one of our students, played the piano for us. She’s known for being very talented, and her performance was amazing. It was a beautiful way to kick off the assembly and set the mood for the day.
Scarlett’s playing filled the room with warmth and calm. We could tell she worked hard on the piece, and it really showed. We’re so lucky to have Scarlett in Portena, and we’re thankful she shared her music with us. Thank you, Scarlett, for making this assembly extra special!
Best,
Portena team!
