Today, on August 16th, our students returned from their well-earned vacation, ready and rested for new achievements that await them this trimester. Some of them weren’t so happy, but all-in-all they were glad to be together again. Without them the school is really empty, but when they get together they bring joy and happiness to each other and everything immediately seems different.

There were no classes today. Instead, the students were busy cleaning and tidying up the classrooms to prepare them for a fresh start. Among other things, there was the meeting with the parents, which usually takes place at the start of each trimester. The Mass for the beginning of the trimester at 11 AM was attended by students and their parents who prayed to the Lord to guide them and keep them safe, and there was also a lot of dancing and beautiful singing. Tomorrow they start with regular classes. May it once again be a joyous and blessed new beginning!
