For the centuries this celebration is being related to the awakening of the natural forces and the hope of wealth and abundance.

The youngest students of the school were dressed as witches, clowns, forest fairies and as vampires. They sang songs and performed plays in German. Carnival was organized by Manuel Groecsh and the teacher who is attending to the 8th class German lectures. Manuel is in Bulgaria since September within the framework of “Kulterweit” Program and he successfully keeps up with school. He prepared many surprises to the participants of “Fashing” Carnival.
