It is good that children and graduates gathered together. My uncle once taught in such a school, he said that it was after the prayer service that the children sat better. May Father Vadim continue to guide them well.

Good that the graduates got together with the children. I remember last year when my mom and I went to a similar moleben in Volos, then the children were quieter in class. May Father Vadim have strength to guide them throughout the year.

It's good that they mentioned the prayer before the lessons. Here in Kharkiv, I also noticed that after this the children sit more calmly and are less distracted. Is your uncle still teaching or retired?
