Autumn’s Market 2019

On September 27, our school hosted the annual Autumn’s Market, where students from first to fifth grade traded home-made treats, jewelry and other surprises. Heroes of the fairy tale by Anna Brigadere, princess Zeltīte and Sprīdītis, came to greet the small merchants, who sang songs about autumn gifts – mushrooms, berries and rhubarb. When the market was officially open, the hallways of the school cheered and chattered from the children’s laughter. 6th-12th grade pupils, teachers, staff members, parents and, of course, the participants themselves went to buy the treats with the boxes and bags they had brought.

Teachers’ day

Teachers’ day took place on October 3, in which our school’s teachers had a special assignment – to dress up as kolkhoz workers. After school, Milda, Sarma and other TCS Student council members welcomed the teachers in the school’s backyard, where it was announced to them that the principal was kidnapped and that they had to complete several tasks to redeem her.
The teachers were brought to a guest house “Mēnesnīcas” where they had to put firewood in a shed, mow the grass and rake leaves. After all the hard work, the teachers and the students danced and sang together. Our wonderful teachers did a great job and welcomed the principal back with a standing ovation. After lunch the teachers enjoyed a refreshing sauna.
At the end of the day, the students said a big “thank you!” to the teachers for their investment in us.
