Nowadays,
education is vast and complex, Yrma Sanchez Bido Elementary School is an
important Educational Center which has been offering a good education to the
community of Villa Riva for more than ninety years. It is very important for
our society not only because it is one of the most modern schools in the city,
but also it allows students to develop new skills they need through the
different activities they do.
Yrma
Sanchez Bido Elementary School has an interesting location. It is on 27de Febrero
Street, next to Luis Teodocio Molina Albert old School, which is in front of
Adames Supermarket in Villa Riva. This school is painted in blue, yellow, and
white. Yrma Sanchez Bido Elementary School is not only the biggest, but also
the most important school in Villa Riva City. It has two buildings surrounded

four bathrooms.
Since its foundation, Yrma Sanchez Bido Elementary School has changed many
things. This school changed names and places about four times. The first name of
this school was given in honor of San Antonio de Padua in 1905. At that time,
this first School was founded in Villa Riva City. At that moment, the student
population was very small, which did not exceed 40 students. The second name
given to this school was Cacimiro de Moya. It was moved to a new place in 1940.
At that moment, the grades were only up to fourth grade in the same schedule
and classroom. In 1950, when Cacimiro de Moya School was moved to 27 de Febrero
Street in front of María Tejada´s laboratory, they changed its the name to Luis
Teodocio Molina Albert. By that time, student’s population was about 992 students.
Sixty four years later on August 12th, 2014 the school was inaugured
by the president Danilo Medina with the name Yrma Sanchez Bidó Elementary School.
Nowadays, this school is located where the Municipal Basketball Court was. At
present, this school has about 1,000 students, 32 teachers, one director, one
director´s assistant, and two security guards. The sacrifice of many people resulted
in the foundation of the most important elementary school in Villa Riva City.
Beyond that, Yrma Sanchez Bido School offers good facilities that didn´t exist.
Three examples are the computer laboratory, the library and the big court. Those
facilities have changed the lives of people in Villa Riva City. One important
reason for those changes is the computer laboratory that permits students to
get information from the Internet for free. Also, teachers teach computer
courses for children and adult people, helping then to learn about computers in
their free time. One interesting reason is the library the elementary school
has, which allows many students to enjoy different kinds of books, and do their
homework. One the most enjoyable facilities in this school is the big
Basketball court, where students do different activities like playing
basketball and volleyball. Also, teachers organize a basketball and volleyball
tournament in which students participate. The top students are chosen for
representing the school versus other schools. Those are the reasons why people
consider this elementary school the most important in the community.
To conclude, Yrma Sanchez Bido Elementary school is the biggest and most
interesting Educational Center of Villa Riva. This School is very accessible
and comfortable. In it, students and teachers perform many activities. Yrma
Sanchez Bido Elementary school´s facilities have changed the lives of many
people in the community.
