Tomorrow is Saint Sava's day! The prince and the saint who dedicated his life to serve God and his people instead of political power and wealth! This is why his name and his deed lives and is celebrated through centuries...

Saint Sava (Serbian: Свети Сава, Sveti Sava, pronounced [sʋɛ̂ːtiː sǎːʋa], also Saint Sabbas; 1174 – 14 January 1236) was aSerbian prince and Orthodox monk, the first Archbishop of the autocephalous Serbian Church, the founder of Serbian law andliterature, and a diplomat. Sava was born Rastko Nemanjić (Растко Немањић, pronounced [râstkɔ nɛ̌maɲitɕ]), the youngest son ofSerbian Grand Prince Stefan Nemanja (founder of the Nemanjić dynasty), and ruled the appanage of Hum briefly in 1190–1192. Hebecame a monk in his youth, receiving the monastic name Sava (Sabbas), subsequently founding the monasteries of Hilandar onMount Athos, and Žiča. In 1219 he was recognized as the first Archbishop of Serbs, by the Patriarch of Constantinople, and in the same year he authored the oldest known constitution of Serbia, Zakonopravilo, thus securing full independence; both religious and political. Sava heavily influenced Serbian medieval literature.He is widely considered as one of the most important figures of Serbian history, and is canonized and venerated by the Serbian Orthodox Church, as its founder, on January 27 [O.S. January 14]. His life and has been interpreted in many artistic works from theMiddle Ages to modern times. He is the patron saint of Serbian schools and schoolchildren.
The Cathedral of Saint Sava in Belgrade is dedicated to him, it was built on the scene where the Ottoman Turks allegedly burnt his remains in the 16th century, following an uprising in which the Serbs used icon depictions of Sava as their war flags; the cathedral is currently the largest Eastern Christian church building in the world.

there are a lot of stories about his life, a lot of wisdom that he passed on. It was such a great personality that despite of many attempts to destroy his legacy and the memory of his name it was preserved in our nation. One of his messages which is always in my mind, probably because I am the teacher of language, is to keep the mother tongue. Territories may be lost and regained, but if one word of your native language is lost it cannot be restored. I like the differences! I appreciate the diversity of languages! I believe that the beauty of the world lies in those differences among us! So we have to accept them, understand and preserve them because that's what we are intended to do. That's what Saint Sava presents, that peace among different people, living different lives, speaking different languages and without being afraid of each other.


But since he is the patron of Serbian schools and hence teachers and pupils, I hereby wish you all  knowledge and wisdom, patience and tolerance, friendship and love through your hard times at school and through all your life!

Према напокон објављеном календару такмичења, општинско такмичење из енглеског језика одржаће се 22.фебруара 2014. године. Nothing to be worried about! You've had an excellent teacher! So you'll be all right... Hope so...Think so ...and know so. Because you're excellent students!

Well, let the games begin! And I've seen a lot of energy today in the halls of our school, on your faces and in your actions. keep it positive and direct it well, and you'll have the power to change things and people and yourself if necessary.

The day after tomorrow is another beginning! One of many that you will have the opportunity to use and make the best you can out of it. Just don't miss that and many other chances, because later in life you won't be given as many. Of course you are full of dreams and plans, just use your energy and strength to make them true and include your friends and family. You are not alone and everyone is happier and more successful as a team. So GET READY, SET &....GO! May the second school term be full of your fulfilled dreams and expectations.

One of the best writers ever, according to my opinion,is the author of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain, who had a rich life, but a very hard one too, and he never gave up. He remains one of the best American writers and humorists who are most often quoted because his sentences are so true and everlasting. Here are just a few of them which may be funny, but helpful too, on your new and unknown paths.  

So FREE YOUR MIND AND THINK!!!

Having fun on your winter's holiday? If only it looked more like one, with more snow and a little bit of frost... But never mind we can live with this, can't we? And further more you can always enjoy yourselves with your family and friends, and books, and music,and movies, and....writing and creating. Try to make something, anything, use your imagination and your own thoughts and feelings. Be yourself, be good and honest, and wise, and clever. Be everything, because you can be! And a HAPPY NEW SERBIAN 7522. YEAR! Well, I simply had to mention that! I hope you don't mind! ALL THE BEST FOR ALL AND FOR ALWAYS!
