New decades have always been something special for the school. We remembered the paths we had taken and enthusiastically expected new challenges.

For the school’s 10th anniversary, in 1980, the school published a brochure Our ten years. A special issue of the school newspaper Zvončki was also published, and the news about the jubilee could also be read in the national daily newspaper Delo (December 23, 1980).

Ten years later, we again published a special issue of Zvončki, and some articles were published in other media (for example in DELO, 27 December 1990).

In 2000, on the 30th anniversary, a special issue of Zvončki was issued, and in the local paper Belokranjec, an article written by the headteacher Ema Šujica, was also published.

The celebration of the 40th anniversary was very special. As part of the celebrations, we recorded the school anthem (text and music: Vlasta Lah, Nina Aupič, arrangement: Primož Vranicar). On April 15^th, 2011, an event was held in the Črnomelj Cultural Center, which was followed by a school open day. For the occasion of the 40th anniversary, a book was published.

How will we celebrate the 50th anniversary? You just might be surprised…

On Tuesday, September 7 th , 2021, the Brazilian Ambassador, His Excellency Renato Mosca
de Souza, organized a celebration at the National Gallery in Ljubljana, to commemorate the
Brazilian Independence Day. Representatives of the Milke Šobar – Nataše Primary School
were also invited. The speaker at the event was also our longtime friend and benefactor, Mr.
Andrej Sever and it was he who initiated the ambassador's visit to our schools two years ago. All of us, fondly remember his visit to our school, as the Ambassador presented us with a computer and books from Brazilian authors.

The event on Tuesday was a great opportunity to meet new friends. The Brazilian Embassy
donated to the guests of the event a bilingual picture book by Peter Ilgo.

His Excellency, we wish you much success and all the best in faraway Canada!
