Postcard Exchange: Cards from South Carolina Arrive to CEIP Heroínas de Sálvora!

Teresa Hernández, teacher and secretary at CEIP Heroínas de Sálvora has expressed her students' delight at receiving the beautiful, varied cards arriving from Elena Castillo and her students from Sullivan's Island, South Carolina.


The Sullivan's Island lighthouse or Charleston Light (1862)


If we research a little bit about Sullivan's Island we see that it was known as O'Sullivan's Island, named for Captain Florence O'Sullivan, who was stationed there as a lighthouse keeper in the late 17th century.  Of course, I heard lighthouse and my eyes lit up, for I am a lover of these beacons by the sea. The Sullivan's Island Lighthouse, commonly known as "Charleston Light" holds a unique title in Caroline Lighthouse lore as one of the most modern lighthouses in the country, due to its unique triangular and slim structure which is broken up into two black and white color blocks. It is hard to miss and a distinctive local landmark that hovers over the beach scene.

Below you can see the package they received in CEIP Heroínas de Sálvora and the beautiful, varied cards of Charleston and its surroundings.



Thank you, Elena, Teresa and all your students for the participation this exchange!
