Mr. Artur Borkowski the right man in the right place (very experienced journalist), showed us all the steps for one edition to be published. that happened - in shor t Valentine s cards - school mail, February March students exhibitions, trip for student congress and school choir to Copernicus Science Center in Warsaw, trip for school magazine group to the office of Kurier Lubelski, meeting with a Brazilian student, Gustavo Pincho, participation in Lenten retreat st Day of Spring happening, class competitions Kinga Jurek We had a great opportunity to meet all the people who create this popular newspaper - write articles, take pictures, take care for the electronic stuff, prepare the design of particular pages. Mr. Borkowski also told us how hard journalist s job is. And that it is more like passion than job. You don t have to have professional education; you just have to be curious about the world.

But still, some of us are determined to get this challenging but also satisfying job in the future. important dates Kamil Kolasa Easter holidays, school open days for the primary school students, middle school exams, May June school trips, May holidays Happy Easter :)

9 2013, No. 3 a little bit of Brazil in Stróża... Many things happened in our school on 8th March. One of them was a meeting with Brazilian student - Gustavo Pinho (23). After the meeting we used the opportunity and asked him several questions. Here are some of them (hope the most interesting ones): Where are you from? I m from Belen which is in Brazil. Why did you come to Poland? I wanted to take part in a student project. I m working with children in kindergartens here. Which of Polish dishes do you like most and which is the worst for you? My favourite are pierogi ruskie and schabowe. I think there is no dish that I don t like. 1st day of spring 21 st March I think students favourite day, commonly referred as Ditch Day. In our school this day was a bit different, that s why we decided to stay instead of sightseeing the surrounding. I think on the one hand we didn t celebrate it in the right way because we went to school, but on the other hand we can say that we did it because there weren t any lessons at school. We had a lot of attractions instead. We made some salads, next ate them, then we had our Stróża s Got Talent and Jaka To Melodia and last but not least we took part in sport competitions. So, what do you think? Did we celebrate or not? Can we being at school Have you tried to learn Polish? I m trying, but the only words I remember or know are dzień dobry and ładne dziewczyny. I have to admit that Polish language is really hard to learn. Have you experienced any strange customs here? Yes. Fat Thursday and Friday 13th. Also that Polish people are unable to eat meat on Friday. Are there any special places in your country that you would like to recomend us? Whole Brazil is really beautiful but you should see rain forests, the capital and of course places which are nearby my home. What is the craziest thing you have done in your life? The most crazy one? Hmmm I came to Poland :) Ola Matysiak, Rafał Boczek & Patryk Pielaszkiewicz but not having lessons call the Ditch Day? Oliwia Berdys dish - danie experience - doświadczyć Fat Thursday - tłusty czwartek be unable to - nie być w stanie rain forests - lasy deszczowe commonly - powszechnie referred as - określany jako Ditch Day - dzień wagarowicza instead of - zamiast sightseeing the surrounding - zwiedzanie okolicy on the one hand - z jednej strony on the other hand - z drugiej strony last but not least - ostatni, ale nie mniej ważny page 9
