On 17th of November in our school of Palio Kavala, we had a celebration to honour Greek Universities' students' revolution against the dictatorship that we had for 7 years in our recent history (1967-1974). Students in big Universities in Athens and Thessaloniki rised against the dictators.Students in the Polytechnic University of Athens gave their lives to give back to Greek citizens their freedom and democracy! To show our gratitude towards them, 3 classes (5th1, 5th 2 and 6th ), 52 students, presented through a power point presenation the facts of those "black" days, gave a performance as if they were the students enclosed in the Poytechnic University and they danced a hip-hop song that they wrote for the event. They also sung songs with quitars, piano and drums. In the end with a symbolic song playing and a symbolic drama performance, a girl dressed in white as they were dressed in ancient Greece, stood in front, showing that our country never dies...

Our first Greek festival was to celebrate the 28th of October 1940.

The 28th of October students and teachers are celebrating in Greek schools to remember the day, 28 October 1940, that our dictator Ioannis Metaxas said the great word "NO" to Moussolini, who wanted to pass his army through Greece during the Second World War. The war begun in the Albanian borders and Greeks took back many places in Albania were Italians had invaded. Since then instead of saying "Greeks are fighting like heroes" they say "Heroes are fighting like Greeks" Winston Churchil 1874-1965.
