<p>On the occasion of celebrating Earth Day, our school is organising a campaign to clean the school environment and plant flowers. We invite you to join this laudable initiative to make our school a nicer and healthier place to be.</p>

<p>The action will take place on <strong>Tuesday, 21 April 2026</strong>, according to the following schedule:</p>

<p><strong>Gathering times</strong></p>

<ul>
  <li>12:20 – 13:05 – students of the morning shift: 1.C, 2.D, 2.E and educational groups</li>
  <li>13:10 – 13:55 – students of the morning shift: 1.A, 1.F, 1.G, 1.K, 1.L</li>
