On Milka’s Dusty Shelves: Slow and steady wins the race

We all do things in life at our own pace. Eventually, we all reach our goal. The Milke Šobar – Nataše Elementary School first opened its doors with a delay. Literally. As part of then Črnomelj Elementary School (now Mirana Jarca Elementary School), classes began on October 1st, 1970 with only two classes and 18 students. On December 2nd, 1970, the school got its own premises, which represented the end of the first construction stage. The second part of the school building was completed in May 1973 and in the 1973/74 school year, and on September 14th, 1973, the so called Special Elementary School was officially established. At that time, the school had 7 classes and 80 students. Today, on the threshold of its 50th anniversary, the school has 11 classes and 82 students.

The school never had an easy road. Nevertheless, we just might reach our goal…
