Before the beginning of new academic year Hesed and Community Center of Astana carried out for children a holiday of "schoolboy", having prepared for everyone all most necessary for academic year. And for two first formers: Ilya Levin and Constantine Tzigelny - something special! Storm of cheers at the guys caused rucksacks, cases, sets of paints and felt-tip pens. To the one who is going to sit down a school bench in the future, except for all listed Hesed presented special " samples of writing for preschoolers" and albums for drawing.

It would be desirable to hear from each child, what he thinks of school. On walls were hanged posters with opposite opinions, for example: " Certainly, I sometimes would like not to go to school, and to take a walk or to have a sleep, but I understand, that the school is important for me and all that knowledge which I receive there is necessary for me in the future ". Or more: "I consider, that it is possible to study independently". There was even such: "School is not necessary".

The poster stood in beauty in Community Center it is not so simple. Schoolchildren should to choose that poster, with which opinion they agree. The opinions were divided, and 2 groups were formed. Pleased, that to the poster about uselessness of school, nobody approached! One have decided, that it is possible to study independently, and others - them there was a majority, refer that the school is necessary. Each team has chosen the leader, which expressed opinion of the group. After small discussion, the participants however came to uniform opinion: "Training at school is necessary!"

Community Center "swung" because of laughter. Danced favourite "goatling" - so at the centre name the grown fond dance - game reminding to all known "Streamlet", but under song in Hebrew and with the special movements and rules.

The guys the mum and volunteer of Hesed Svetlana Tzigelnaya congratulated, having wished everybody good and successful new academic year.

Now children, as before, will be gathering in JCC on weekend, and meet Saturday!
