Day for Tolerance

16th November,2011, International Day for Tolerance

The International Day for Tolerance has been celebrated worldwide since 1996. This year it was celebrated in our school as well.
The T.I.M.E. team announced a competition on tolerance in mid October. Entries were a pleasant surprise. Many students took part in the competition and proved that “tolerance’ is not a mere word in our school. It was extremely difficult for the committee to make their final decision and choice.
The winners were announced and rewarded on a special celebration for the Day for Tolerance on 16th November. Students, teachers and staff also signed the Declaration of Tolerance. The latter was signed by Mr. Ginyo Matev, the mayor of Trakia Residential District, on the previous day.
Acknowledgement to all participants and their class teachers Katya Simeonova, Minka Kirova, Milka Krushkova, Sheni Uzunova, Sylvia Dimova, Irina Daskalova, Albena Borisova ,etc.

The poems awarded 1st and the special prize made each of us think about our deeds. And if that were done by far more people and on far more occasions “Life would be more beautiful than a song, more beautiful than a day in spring” as our great poet Nikola Vaptsarov wrote many years ago.
