Before the school year started, on September 7, 2016, the Gabriela Mistral Foundation, Inc. made a special presentation and lecture to all the members of the faculty and administration of the school. This presentation centered on the figure of Gabriela Mistral and her literary and humanitarian legacies as well as her work as a teacher and the impact her writings and thought had and continues to have in today's world. Following this presentation, and as one of the first assignments to students the teachers introduced G. Mistral to the students and a special Mistral lesson was included in the curriculum.
