On March 14, on Mother Language Day, a traditional reading competition was held in Pai school. This year, the Council of the Cause decided that our competition will be dedicated to our country, which is why it was called “My Estonia”. All students, from the youngest to the graduates, take part in the competition. This year the children read works in Russian, Estonian and English.

In February, the Kultuurisaadiku programm (Ambassadors of Culture) was launched. 34 schools of Ida-Virumaa are participating in the program, among them the Narva Paju School.
The program is designed for a year. During this time, teachers and students will visit different parts of our country, get acquainted with folk traditions, visit many museums and memorable places, and be able to get to know Estonian culture better.
