I'm Russian. What I value the most about our school is that our children are from different countries, of different cultures and they are together, they are friends, they are taught and they are helpful, respectful, mindful, caring about each other and each other's cultures. They know and feel that it is possible to be friends. No matter where you are from. And they are friends.
I hope that with our support - from the parents and the school - becoming grown-ups of different professions, our children will sparkle with the warmth and values in their hearts and minds and be inspiring role-models to people around for PEACE in our world.
Thank you everyone for the incredible experience of being a part of the international community.
You are more than welcome to support Book and Culture Week.
Warmest regards,
DSKI family
