It’s good that Father Pavel was on the line. And a clock from a time keeper is an interesting idea that children will certainly remember. Elena Polyanina as the new director, I hope the school will be lucky with her.

It's good that Father Pavel came, his presence always counts. The idea with the clocks from the time keeper also seemed successful to me, especially for the little ones. I hope Elena Polyanina settles quickly in her new position.

Yes, I was also glad that Father Pavel was there, his calm voice is good on such a day. Those clocks from the timekeeper were really a suitable idea for children, my grandchildren from the country also told me that they liked it a lot. I hope that Mrs. Elena Polyanina will catch up quickly, the school is big and needs a firm hand.
