VACIAMADRID

RIVAS DEL JARAMAIT’S AN OLD STORY OF TWO PLACES, IN TWO RIVERS

...ACROSS THE TIME...

IN VACIAMADRID

THE KINGS BUILT A LITTLE

PALACE

AND HUNTED IN THEIR FIELDS

SO THEY WANTED SAILED ALONG

THE RIVER JARAMA

BUT THE MODERN TIMES

ARRIVED, AT LEAST

OUR DEAR TRAIN: “EL TREN DE

ARGANDA”

WHILE, RIVAS GREW AT THE SHADOW OF A

MONASTERY: EL CRISTO DE RIVAS

AND THE WAR ARRIVED

THE TERRIBLE BATTLE OF JARAMA

THE FRONT WAS

ESTABLISHED NEAR HERE

JUST IN FRONT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL

...AND THE FIGHT CONTINUED FOR A

BRIDGE

STILL WE CAN SEE THOSE TRACKS

THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS FOUGHT IN THIS BATTLE, AND THOUSANDS OF THEM, FROM SEVERAL

COUNTRIES, DIED HERE

THE DESTRUCTION WAS TOTAL

IN 1959 A SMALL VILLAGE IS

RECONSTRUCTED

IN 1991 THE SMALL VILLAGE STILL WAS TINY

IN 1999 IT BEGAN TO GROW

TWO YEARS LATER (2001) WAS BUILT OUR HIGH

SCHOOL (with the former name: Lázaro Carreter)

IN 2014 WE ARE A LITTLE CITY

WITH 83.000 INHABITANTS

A MODERN CITY

SUSTAINABLE

WITH THE POSIBILITY OF WALKING

AND ENJOY THE SILENCE

THESE WE ARE, OUR HIGH SCHOOL: EL PROFESOR JULIO PÉREZ

IN MEMORIAM OF OUR PRINCIPAL AND

TEACHER, JULIO.

WE HAVE AN INSTITUTE IN

COLORS

BUT ONE PREDOMINATES

THE GREEN

CLEARLY

WE TRAVEL A LOT

WE CELEBRATEMANY THINGS

WE PARTICIPATE IN EXCHANGES

AND LEARN THE EXAMPLE OF SOLIDARITY

BUT SPECIALLY, WE STUDY MUCH MORE

FORTUNATELY WE ARE BUILT OVER THOUSAND OF YEARS, THAT HAVE GOT

THE UNION OF TWO PLACES

AND ALL PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE UNION GET THE FORCE
