The Stavdals

Today was the last day of school for the pupils at Ekrehagen skole, but this year is a milestone in Andreas' life as he now has officially completed his ten year compulsory education. This momentous occasion was celebrated on Tuesday this week by way of a fine dinner for the graduates and their parents, teachers, vice-principal and the Principal. Here you may have a look at a few pics from a couple of the events this week.

Graduation dinner

It is customary at the annual graduation dinner for the teachers, the principal, parents representatives and the home room teacher to give speeches that focus on highlights of the past year and even glimpses from their entire ten years of schooling.

Particularly touching was one of the teacher's (Darin) presentation of each pupil. He had brought a box of things, and as he pulled out one thing after the other, he explained with great humour and sincerity what characteristics each item would make him associate with each pupil. When it came to Andeas, Darin pulled out a weight and started working on his biceps saying: "When I grow up, I want to be strong like Andreas."

After dinner, the class was taken out for a photo shoot, and here they are.

Summer show

Thursday night added to Andreas experience of finishing compulsory education, because after an entertaining one hour program by the pupils performed for pupils, ex-pupils, parents, family, friends and teachers, the graduates received their grade diploma while being applauded by a proud, cheerful and touched audience. Congratulations to Andreas and his class for surviving ten years of school victoriously. It will undoubtedly be exciting to see what choices they make for their future. Good luck, God bless!
