11th Gymnasium of Larissa. New Year's cake.

Yesterday the teachers of 11th Gymnasium of Larissa had a Greek traditional party, where we cut the New Year's cake. 
We put a coin in the cake and we cut it in pieces. The person who finds the coin will be lucky for the rest of the year.

An x-student makes our school proud

Alexandros Avranas, an x-student of 11th Gymnasium of Larissa, who is one of the most famous, talented and hopeful young Greek film directors, visited our school and talked to the students about his job, his experiences, his awards and generally about art.

A short biography of the artist and some photos of his visit to our school are shown below:

COMENIX:

Less than 3 months till the partners visit us! See the Greek Preparation

We have to keep the tradition of the "Greek Hospitality": When the Greeks wait for visitors they have to prepare everything in perfection and do their best to welcome and host them!

We are waiting eagerly for our partners' visit in Larissa! It's been a long time since the Greek teachers and students have been discussing about it, how to organize our activities, what places to visit with our friends, how to involve them in Greek culture, to taste Greek food etc. There are meetings with parents and teachers at school very often, where we are discussing the preparations for our guests. It is an absolutely enjoyable period for us!

Last week we sent an email to invite our partners to our city and give them some information on the visit.

This week, we sent the Programme and we started the dialogue about the "Comenvision" event.

But, there are many things which have to be done...

During the Holy Week of the Orthodox Easter Holidays students along with volunteer parents and teachers cleaned, painted and decorated the school in order to be able to receive our visitors. 


You can see some photos and videos with the Greek preparations below:
