Traditionally, on the eve of Estonia's Independence Day, a big Song and Dance Festival is held at Paju School. The children spend a long time preparing, learning songs and practicing dances. This year's program included three new dances. Teachers also prepared their own gift for the participants of the festival and performed the Kalamies dance.

On the eve of the vacation, the traditional Vastlapäev holiday was held at Paju School. Pupils in grades 1-5 learned about the traditions of the holiday. They did creative work and enjoyed playing folk games.

On February 9, a real poetry festival - a school recitation contest - was held at Pai School. This year the pupils' Council chose the theme for the competition - "Family". Teachers found very interesting modern works, which our reciters performed with pleasure. More than 60 reciters from the youngest - first graders, to graduates, performed poems on this day. Some children prepared performances in two or even three languages: Russian, Estonian and English.
