- Today we are summarizing what we managed to do in the past school year - said Grażyna Wiśniowska, principal of the Primary School in Kobylanka, thanking teachers, students and parents for their cooperation. - It is also a time of joy because of the beginning of the holidays. It was a year full of work, challenges, successes and difficulties that you, students, overcame. I congratulate you and wish you wonderful holidays full of joy and adventures.

The ceremony took place in the gymnasium, where the best students impatiently waited for the distribution of certificates and awards.

- I would like to thank the superintendent for the fact that the provincial end-of-the-school-year ceremony is taking place not only in Szczecin or Koszalin, but in Kobylanka, which shows that every school is important to us - said Bartosz Brożyński, Deputy Governor of West Pomerania, adding that students should not think about school during the holidays and put their smartphones aside.

The head of the education authority joined in thanking and wishing the staff and students a successful vacation. - We are here to congratulate you on working so well in the past school year - said Paweł Palczyński, West Pomeranian Education Superintendent. - I wish you a successful vacation!

The mayor of Kobylanka congratulated the students on their achievements and successes. - I wish you a successful vacation and that you return to school with renewed energy - said Julita Pilecka.

Father Andrzej Bryłowski also spoke on behalf of the parish priest, and then everyone listened to the sounds of the concert given by the talented students of Primary School Kobylanka. The distribution of awards and certificates to the best students from each class lasted a long time in Kobylanka.

Among the honored students were those who implemented the Eco Guard ecological project. They built a drone and developed an application that monitors emissions from chimneys, taking care of air quality. In January, they organized the conference "EcoGuard - Together for Clean Air". Their project took third place in Europe in the prestigious AI STEM competition organized by Science on Stage Europe. The results were announced on June 5-6 in Berlin.

- Behind them are hundreds of sleepless nights, missed meetings, unwatched series - said project coordinator Ryszard Markowicz.

During these months, they not only built a drone, they created software and applications. They learned cooperation and responsibility.

The talented students received congratulations from the guests, and then the school emptied.
