an opportunity to new ideas in order to transform conventional
practices. Our main interest have been to provoke kids into love to
reading and writing. In doing so, we have promoted their participation in
workshops and university events; also, in Bibliored (Colombian
National Library Network) pedagogical activities and encounters with
poets, writers and editors, having in mind a continuous and solidary
construction of knowledge and culture.

This year, the project celebrates its 4 anniversary, which is a landmark
for pedagogical projects in the public schools in Bogotá. This sets out
new challenges to us. Among those expectations, we have the
forthcoming publications: the digital text by the teacher Julio Estupiñan
on physics and the Spanish Manual by the teacher Germán Gómez P.
Moreover, for 2015, we will be travelling to the region of the Eje
Cafetero. This journey is organized by the Science Club and the Circle of
Writing Students: Medio Pan y un Libro EOH-IED (Institución
Educativa Distrital). We hope beautiful surprises! Why not … a poetry
book, or a second deep and simple gazette, where the school principal
finally inspired himself to write.
Once more, I have to acknowledge students, parents, the school graduate
students, external teachers and collaborators, authors, revisers and
reviewers' worthy contributions. They have provided their efforts to this
creative and imaginative project. Thanks to all of you for believing,
supporting, and contributing to this work. Overall, thanks for remaining
in this integrative proposal and remember our motto: we are riding high!
Finally, my invitation, again, to enjoy and to participate in the school
publishing project, as a solid proposal that evidences an ethical and
political engagement to the new generations and an social, inclusive,
participatory, distinctive responsibility.

Beyond my functions as the school principal, I am a teachers' colleague
interested in taking great advantage of all possible opportunities in our
school context.
Best regards,
