“Commitment and generosity – began the school director in her greetings to the audience -: two characteristics that I found in the Serra family, in Mrs. Liliana, in Mr. Giuseppe and in the MOS association when they proposed to us the initiative of handing over the scholarship of study. I welcomed the initiative with great sensitivity, sense of duty and honor and with my collaborators we set in motion to start the organizational machine and I thank you for the trust that the family has placed in us, in addition to the opportunity and the nice gesture towards not only the student recipient of the scholarship, but also towards all students and for believing in the educational institution and in the valorisation of excellence”.
