16. ALMOST EVERYTHING This our students’ poem about our school: Our school – this is it!, here you learn, play, even eat. Nice place to stay when you’re free and all emotions vent to be. There are a lot of milk drinking, fruits and vegetables regularly eating. Schools solemn feast takes every year place, and the new kids come here with smile on their face. Sport never fails, gym is always full every one goes to the swimming pool. Science is the most important, of course! which guarantees us the best results. Pupils cool atmosphere make, though every one shouts on break. Written by: Milena & Zuzia
