On October 15 our school took part in the initiative: Autumn Days of Charity. Our cause was to give our school yard a facelift :-)
We invited parents, students, teachers and friends and many joined. It was so nice to see children from the neighborhood come and lend a hand. They study in other schools but play in our school yard and gladly joined us and helped a lot.
We managed to do quite a bit: mowed the lawn, cleaned the yard, painted the pitch lines.
The organizers of the event praised us that we were the school with most volunteers.
They gave us a gift: two plants and they planted one of them in the yard with their own hands!
At the end of the day we had a small feast: home-made cake and cheese-pies :)
We still have a lot of work to do in the yard but surely it was a great start.
We would like to thank all those who volunteered and joined to help. We do believe that it's up to us to make the place we live, work and study in a better one!
This is what Joanna Strahilova from 7th grade wrote on the event:
'It was interesting because a lot of people joined and we did a lot of different things: we mowed, we painted, we swept the yard, we cleaned, we plucked up weeds and trimmed bushes. Yes, it was a bit chilly but nothing could stop us! I found painting the most exciting part. I liked it when everyone said how they had fun and loved to work together. We did a great job!
This is what my family thinks (they also took part):
My youngest brother Ephraim: 'I think that it was good. I loved it when people from the neighbourhood and kids from the block joined in and helped!'
My mother Annie: 'I think it was awesome! We did a lot of work and we had a lot of fun. I liked it when a person came to do his workout in the yard but when he saw us, he also joined in.'
My elder brother Victor: 'I loved the cool and delicious treat we had at the end! :-)'
