Mayor of the City of Novi Sad Mr. Miloš Vučević attended the reception of the first-class pupils at the “Đura Jakšić” Primary School in Kać. The Mayor wished all the students a very successful start, to be good students and a lot of new friends.
- I visited two receptions for the new first-class pupils, and my wish was also to visit one suburban school, since all parts of Novi Sad are of equal importance. I am particularly pleased to see that the number of students in this school is not decreasing, which is a rare thing to see these days for suburban settlements, and one should be only proud of this. I wish the first-class pupils to go to school with smile on their faces, and also to return home bearing it, to enjoy learning new things and also to make new friends. – pointed out Mayor Vučević and wished all the pupils in Novi Sad a happy academic year.
