Walk to School Week (16–20 September 2024)
In the week from 16 to 20 September 2024, we joined the Walk to School campaign, again with very interesting side events. On Tuesday, we organized a scavenger hunt that we called “Find the apple,” during which we followed a marked route around the school in search of chalk apples drawn on the sidewalk white also performing simple tasks with the children. Upon our return to school, we followed a tactile trail that could be walked without shoes, meaning in socks. The most courageous of us even went barefoot. On Wednesday, a colleague from the autistic classroom delighted teachers, parents, and the drivers from Bezba with morning coffee to go. She also helped to spread awareness of our organization by offering hot drinks to parents passing by the school on their way to the next-door preschool. On Thursday, we (mainly the adults) had fun with a crossword puzzle, and next thing we knew it was Friday already, the last day of the campaign. At 10:15am, we met at a predetermined spot in the park for the day’s event, “To school with music,” for which we marched back to school singing songs and accompanied by a guitar. Everybody participated according to their skills and abilities! On foot, hand in hand, in a stroller, in a wheelchair... straight, zig-zagging, fast, slow... walking, brief spurts of running, skipping, forwards and backwards... just being cheerfully together. From Monday to Friday, posters advertising the Walk to School campaign were hung from the fence and songs on the subject of walking played from the speaker on the outdoor terrace.
Start of the 2024/2025 school year (11 September 2024)
We started the 2024/2025 school year together, surrounded by beautiful sunflowers and photographs from last year. As in the past, we were joined by our pupils and their siblings and parents as we walked through the symbolic gateway to the next ten months of school. We firmly believe that it will be a time filled with joy, the learning of new things, and positive energy.
