It is very ‘loud’ these days at the Elementary School Milka Šobar- Nataše. Different donors enabled the school a purchase of new musical instruments, which will be used for teaching purposes as well as in the school’s cultural programs.

This time, the school wishes to thank Bar Piccolo and the ‘Vodomec’ music group. Together they organized and prepared a charity concert and finally they contributed 1,000 euros. On Tuesday, 26^th of January 2016, the owner of the Piccolo Bar, Boris Lovrenčič, and the ‘Vodomec’ group representative, Robert Strmec, festively handed out the cheque.

Thursday, 24^th of December, was the last school day in 2015. We did our best to make it a special one. We started the day with a short cultural program and then we danced. A representative of the Petrol gas station Črnomelj paid us a visit and gave us a gift in the amount of € 200. With this money they enabled our students tickets to the magician Sam Sebastian and stand up comedienne Lucija Ćirović show, which took place in the hall of the Secondary School Črnomelj. The students and teachers were amazed at the abundance of exceptional and breathtaking magic tricks by Sama Sebastiana and laughed at the comical jokes by Lucija Ćirović .

A group of younger pupils enjoyed a visit from a special Santa ‘s elf Andrej Sever. He was so kind -hearted that he offered Santa Clause to give him a hand with the gifts. Our children were pleased with the sweet gifts and notebooks, donated by the company Spar. One of our students and his family, family HUDAK , also received a special gift, contributed by the dressmaker Joe & Luca, the school and Maruša Prelesnik Zdešar, a journalist.

After the program, students and teachers danced together and wishes one another a merry Christmas and all the best in the new year to come.

On Wednesday, 23^rd of December 2015, we had a cultural day at our school ’Winter collage with Father Christmas’. The event hosted retired workers from the school, representatives of the three municipalities, two kindergarten teachers from Special Education Program in the Kindergarten Črnomelj and parents as well.

We prepared a rich cultural program to celebrate the Independence and Unity Day. The program included all children in the school to participate within their capabilities with reciting, singing or playing. The event ended with a special visit from Father Christmas, who has deservedly brought gifts for everyone.
