Välkommen till Pere Vila!

(Castellano abajo)

A new term is almost here and Pere Vila is after getting an incredible amount of Twitter love.

A Swedish dad who is just after moving here with his 4-year old, reached out to the Twitter community:

 

Just moved to Barcelona and my 4,5 yo son is super nervous about starting school here. The school is called Pere Vila. Is there anybody out there that has or knows a kid in that school that is around 4 years old? RTs would mean the world.

The response was massive. As of today, the post has been retweeted 3500 times.

 

Acabado de trasladar a Barcelona, su hijo de 4 años irá a la escuela Pere Vila. Busca padres de esa escuela, a ser posible con niños de esa edad https://t.co/4rdrecwu92

Algún nen o nena d’uns 4 anys que vagi a l’escola Pere Vila de Barcelona (Lluis Companys 18) i vulgui fer-se amic del fill del Tomas per fer-li l’entrada més fàcil? Som-hi, barcelonins!
PS: welcome to Barcelona, @tomasnihlen! Happy to help you if you need some local advice 😉 https://t.co/109vvWLqYD

I went to Pere Vila, a wonderful school with a lot of cultural diversity.

Benvingut a Catalunya. Our schools are welcoming and have a lot of experience in multiculturalism. As a Minister of Education, I wish you all the family a good stay with us

Now, since you’re crazy enough to leave our social media in the hands of a Swede, I contemplated a full blog post in Swedish to wish him welcome.

Then decided against it 🙂

So here’s a special hello and welcome to Thomas’ kid, and everyone else who will be starting Pere Vila on September 12th.

We’re looking forward to meeting you all!

Our Parent’s Association usually do a welcome party (uh, Cora, when is it?) at the beginning of the school year, where everyone can ask day-to-day questions, meet other parents, etc.

And if anyone wants to get in contact with Thomas’ family before school starts, he’s here.

¡Bienvenidos a Pere Vila!

Pues eso, ya falta muy poco – empezamos de nuevo el 12 de septiembre.

Nuestra escuela acaba de recibir un montón de amor a través de Twitter, después de que un padre preguntó a la comunidad de Twitter por un poco de ayuda.

¡Ver los tweets arriba!

Hay respuestas en varios idiomas, de tiendas del barrio, de vecinos… una mezcla muy bonita de gente con buenas intenciones 🙂

Si alguien del P4 (bueno, o cualquier curso) quiere contactar con ellos, su cuenta de Twitter está aquí.

Y con el % de suecos que tenemos en el cole ya, ¿pronto toca hablar con IKEA para un sponsorsing del AMPA no?

Fins aviat!
