Saga “The Fern [fә:n]”
On Midsummer night one should go to the wood and avoid being seen by anyone, draw a circle around himself with a rowan stick, and wait in patience. All kinds of monsters try to scare this man away, but if one is not scared he sees the fern blossoming. The fern flower allows man to know all secrets in the world, find hidden treasures and understand animals talking.

The Choir “Papartėlis“ (En- „The Little Fern“)
Talking about sport activities, the most important competition is called “The Principal Cup”. This competition is organized in September or October. Children play the game that is called “Kvadratas” ( En- A Square).
We offer an after school program, called “Leisure Group”, where parents can leave their children after the lessons. Pupils do their homework there, have their lunch or dinner, take part in extra classes, play in the yard and are supervised by teachers.
Well prepared and experienced teachers are guiding pupils to be the best in a climate of communication and mutual respect, knowing very well that school cannot exist without any pupils or teachers- as participants in the education act- but without dialogue between them.
