School diaries: Happy birthday 🎉

Another birthday party took place a few days ago at school. A girl from sixth grade celebrated her special day with her friends and we all had a wonderful time!

We had spent days and days talking about what to do on that day, what snacks to bring, who would be in charge of the decorations and we were really looking forward to it!

I decided to bring the cake and pizzas (nothing special, just a a sweet chocolate roll filled with white cream and the pizzas were those frozen ones you get from the supermarket).

The party took place after the morning cycle had ended and the few kids that stay for the afternoon cycle gathered in the big room we use as a school play room, a dining room, a gym for those rainy days and a lot lot more (yes, Greek schools lack the facilities of many other countries in the civilized world, yet our Ministers of education and their staff believe us teachers are superheroes and have to make everything work with whatever "crumbs" they feed us). Anyway, at least we are equipped with big dining tables, a microwave, fridge and small oven for the preparation of the children's meals. In fact I baked the pizzas for the party in our school oven in order to serve them hot to the kids.

Our party was a success!! Our birthday girl blew her candles and she enjoyed an afternoon of fun with her friends. The kids played balloon games, they listened to music and danced and ate till their stomachs burst.

Happy birthday, Maria!!! May all your wishes come true and all your life be full of blessings!!! 💕
