Now, our school children are trying to create the local television, which are making reports about school‘s life.
One of the main school‘s rules is to learn children not only to take but also to give something to somebody.

Also we get presents for those people who are sick and who don‘t have any relatives or friends who can care of them.

One of the ways when pupil can show their respect for their teachers is to give them Teacher's Day poems.
