9th  graders



And this school year

is over ...


So many different memories in your / our lives … 

so many different experiences in this school year and the previous,

so many good things to remember and cherish!


I wish you all the best and I hope life smiles for you,

dear 9th graders.

Embrace the new things that the future will give you.

Share your thoughts and opinions, fight for your dreams, 

and never give up, no matter the difficulties you might have!


Why don't you all have a look at your "writing experiences"?

International   

Children 's  day


To all the children: 

the ones we / you are, 

the ones we / you used to be, 

to all of you / us a happy and awesome day! 


"There is a garden in every childhood, 

an enchanted place where colours are brighter, 

the air softer, and the morning more fragrant  

than ever again."

                                                                           Elizabeth Lawrence


2021 theme: 

"International Children's Day has a theme set up by UNICEF. 

It focuses on one of the primary children's rights, 

such as a right for clean water 

and a safe climate, or right for education 

without disruptions. It's a tradition to have

an awareness talk on that day 

in primaries and kindergartens."
