THE MAYOR'S VISIT

The mayor of our municipality, Mr. Robert Smrdelj, visited the workshops and was very impressed with the pupils' work. During a short round-table discussion with the pupils from grades 7 and 8 he answered questions which had been prepared by the members of the school parliament and emphasized the importance of such events for the whole community.

Spring Day was open to the public. Many parents and other people from the local community took part in the activities. We concluded the festivities by planting a maple tree on the lawn in front of the school to mark the first day of Spring and to symbolize our entry into the EU. This activity was accompanied by the choir's singing of the European hymn. A few pupils and the project coordinator were interviewed by the local Radio 94. Articles about the event appeared in two local and two national newspapers.
