When children and parents of a school in Valencia, in eastern Spain, decided to adapt the popular song “I will survive” to turn it into school song and a plea for public education, never imagined that one day act for Gloria own Gaynor, who today has sung with them totally excited.
in full school holidays, the Luis Vives school overturned with the visit of the American artist, who was shocked when she met the history of the Valencian students. With their teachers and their parents, they interpreted the “remake” of “I will survive” with a clear message in defense of the values of public school and enthusiasm for learning.
This Spanish school knows what it means to survive and succeed despite the difficulties: part of the false ceiling of the school fell in 2012 due to deteriorating facilities. The event led to a series of protests in the education sector by cuts in spending, which strengthened as ever to the educational community. The head teacher of the school, Ines Perez said they felt “identified” with the song for his “optimistic” and “persistence” spirit.
The reward for them came when Gaynor took the microphone and played the chorus of the song that catapulted her to worldwide success and went platinum in 1978.
