Then the graduates presented flowers to their teachers.
Director Yu.V. Sokolova also addressed parents of the students with words of gratitude. She expressed her gratitude to the parents for supporting the Sunday school during its formation, for their active participation in school events, and for their help in solving organizational issues.
The solemn part ended with presentation of certificates and memorable gifts to graduates.
