Sheblo Kindergarten in Derik Concludes School Year with Joyful Celebration

DERIK, North and East Syria — In a spirited event marking the end of the academic year, Sheblo Kindergarten — affiliated with the Syriac Women’s Union (Huyodo d’Neshe d’Bethnahrin, HNB) — hosted a festive celebration for its young students in Derik this week. 

The gathering, held in the scenic Areen Park, brought together students, their families, and the kindergarten’s administrative and teaching staff to distribute final report cards for the 2024–2025 school year. Seventeen children received their certificates in a cheerful atmosphere filled with applause, laughter, and photo opportunities to mark the milestone. 

The event was more than a mere formality. Alongside the distribution of report cards, children and families were treated to sweets, small gifts, and warm words of encouragement from their educators — all contributing to a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Speaking to SyriacPress, Georgette Abd al-Nour, head of the HNB in Derik, underscored the deeper significance of the occasion. “This isn’t just a school activity — it’s an annual tradition we are committed to,” she said. “It’s a moment to celebrate the children’s growth and achievements, and to bid a meaningful farewell to those who are moving on to the next phase of their education.” 

As the celebration concluded, Abd al-Nour extended her heartfelt wishes for continued success to the children in their future academic journeys.
