Students at Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola in San Juan, Puerto Rico show their commitment to developing human excellence in the Pórtate Bonito campaign. This campaign is a call for action for all ignacianos to embody and protect the shared values of fraternity, respect, compassion, empathy, and responsibility. Pórtate Bonito is both the title of the campaign and song that served to launch this initiative presented by students and faculty of the school’s Solidarity Committee and the student newspaper El Ignaciano. The song was composed by students using the beat of reggaeton music and rhyming words that invite to a way of proceeding of good behavior by being men for others. Daily morning announcements through the school intercom encourage students to engage in behavior that reflects our common values and promotes a safe learning community. This student campaign has inspired additional initiatives to raise awareness for the shared responsibility to care for others and the environment.
