Everyone contributed, some more or less, to the great success that we bring home as a school community this year”.

“Thank you. A simple term which however clearly expresses being happy, feeling good. – Iovinella said – The word thank you is said few times. Thanks to the team, thanks to those who, like us, have a great desire to sacrifice their time for the community, for the school community and beyond. Sharing is certainly not easy just as it is not easy to reconcile all the pieces of the puzzle: every piece fits together if desired, if everyone puts the community before themselves. “Scuola in Festa” is becoming increasingly bigger and more beautiful as an initiative and as a “captain”, with this decisive spirit, I can say that without a crew you can’t go anywhere. This is the spirit that I tried to instill in the various groups involved in organizing the event, obviously starting from mutual respect. Thank you”.
