The Muzla school is based on the preservation of tradition, which is also woven into the compulsory curriculum.
The 5th Tradition Keeper Day took place at Endrődy János Elementary School in Muzsla. On this occasion, a new flag was unveiled, which better expresses the school's tradition-based orientation.
Folk tradition is the main orientation of the school, and many branches of it are incorporated into education.
"The building itself gives a turn to tradition, as the beautifully renovated more than a hundred-year-old building is decorated with the Hungarian crown. My commitment to folk dance gave me the idea to create a school where we weave folk tradition into the compulsory curriculum so that folk dance, singing and handicrafts are part of the education.
As a result, our students become closer to Hungarian culture and traditions, and become more connected to their nation. My colleagues and the management of the village, as well as the parent community, supported me in this endeavour.
said director Árpád Ölveczky.
He also touched on the fact that they organize a traditional day every year, they have two folk dance groups - Pilinke for the little ones, and Farickás for the older ones. Today, they have reached the point where the students themselves take the initiative to perform, for example, at the March 15 ceremony, because they feel that is where they belong.
Of course, in addition to traditional education, modern technology is present in the school. For example, they show the digital microscope that projects the image onto the active board, and the children can save what they are examining. They also have aids cast in acrylic. In addition, specialized classrooms, workshops, and a mirror room await the students, and the yard next to the school is also well-equipped with sports equipment, a large, handball-sized, artificial grass field with lighting and a smaller artificial grass training field are also located in the area.
I am proud of our successful students, since at the end of the academic year I listed at length the groups and names that have enhanced the good reputation of our school. We have students from Párkány, Nana, Ebed, Karva, Cenke, Kismuzla and Béla. They are transported to school by school bus. We embraced the kindergarten children, we also hold sessions for them so that they can get used to the environment and get to know the teachers."
added the director.
Deputy director Szilvia Fundárek Góra guides us through the departments, where we can take a look at the individual crafts. In the mirror room, the children hung on every word of the ethnographer and storyteller Gergely Agócs, fire enamel-making led by the masters of the Aster workshop was popular, but the Kisgombos Playhouse in Nana was also welcomed, with whom they created an autumn picture of crops.
There was basket-weaving, knitting, sewing, crocheting, doll-making, clay, leathering, writing with quills, baking braided cakes, felting, furniture painting, tales of old times. It was a pleasure to see the children who had forgotten to create, who gained knowledge and were good at creating under the guidance of experienced masters. In the afternoon, Young Hearts performed at the local cultural center.
