In the music class, with Mrs. Marianna Rontogianni, they sang as a choir the universal and much-sung song “Imagine” by John Lenon and with the help of Mrs. Evi Abdelidou in English class they were able to translate and understand the meaning of the lyrics. In the computer lab, they searched for wise words, spoken by great people on the topic of peace, with the help of Mrs. Paraskevi Tassi and composed the final radio message. Lastly, Mr. Vassilis Kontogeorgos, art teacher at our school, created the accompanying poster.
