Sorsk schoolchildren celebrated the Knowledge Day on September 1. On that warm and sunny day 1,266 pupils stepped across the school threshold. The school bell rang at the school parade for the first time for 175 pupils. The first-grade pupils entered one of their happiest stages of life - pupilage. Their lives would depend on the extent of knowledge they acquire at school. There is nothing worse than vacancies in one’s knowledge.
Sorsk schoolchildren tried their best to look perfect on September 1. “Wipe your shoes and let me straighten your tie”, - one of the mothers was talking to her first-grade boy adjusting his clothes at the same time before the school parade was started. The seniors preferred keeping company with their friends – they had taken care of their look beforehand. Educational institutions had been prepared to accommodate their pupils. All schools had been renovated by the celebration day. The city Administration assisted in major maintenance and cosmetic repairs.
SMR Managing Company also contributed to development of schools. The Company allocated over RUR 200 K in June for procurement of sports equipment such as skates, skies, balls for football and volleyball, table-tennis sets, as well as equipment for gym and sewing class, text and reference books to replenish library stock, and office equipment. In September the Company plans to allocate another RUR 200 K for the purposes of the city schools.
On September 1 the schoolchildren did not have any classes. At the school parade they listened to the words of wisdom spoken by the teachers, parents, officials, and deputies.
Mr. Alexander ZHUKOV, Mayor of Sorsk, visited one of the schools. He congratulated the teachers and schoolchildren on the occasion of the Knowledge Day and presented the school with a wireless microphone. The city Administration presented the other schools with printers. “Our life requires prominent knowledge. I am wishing you only high credits”, - said Mr. ZHUKOV.
The 1st of September is a day of smiles, sun, flowers, cheerfulness, and meeting friends. The Knowledge Day is recognized in connection with pleasant associations with schools, warm recollections of childhood, and happy people. We wish you an active school year, many fascinating discoveries and precious friends at your schools in Sorsk and Yerbinsk.
The music faded away. The speeches had been spoken. It was time to go to classrooms. The city needs qualified specialists. Good luck!
