On the eve of the celebration of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, students of grades 5-8 took part in the Letter to a Veteran campaign. Its goal is to foster in the younger generation a sense of patriotism, respect for the history of their country and gratitude to the heroes of the past. In their letters, the guys were able to express their sincere feelings and appreciation to the veterans for their feat. By participating in the action, children become more aware of the feat of veterans of the Great Patriotic War, imbued with a sense of gratitude for the peaceful sky and feel their involvement in the history of their family and country.
