U svibnju smo se prisjetili života i djela Ante Sekulića, zasigurno najznačjanijeg tavankutskog književnika, filologa i jezikoslovca. Sekulić je rođen u Tavankutu, no živio je i u brojnim gradovima diljem Hrvatske, a radio je i kao gimnazijski i kao sveučilišni profesor. Njegove su pjesme danas neizostavni dio hrvatske književnosti u Vojvodini, a postale su i dio nastavnoga gradiva.
Tijekom trodnevne manifestacije (see gallery of pictures), našu su školu posjetili učenici, nastavnici i ravnateljica II. osnovne škole Vrbovec iz Hrvatske. Sudjelujući u prigodno osmišljenim radionicama učenici su se mogli upoznati s nekima od najznačajnijih Sekulićevih pjesama, ali i naučiti o njegovu životu, upoznati se s rječničkim blagom popisanim u njegovu „Rječniku govora bačkih Hrvata“. Učili su i izrađivati ukrase od slame, tehniku karakterističnu upravo za kulturnu tradiciju Tavankuta, a u turističkom razgledavanju obišli su Suboticu, posjetili katedralu i sinagogu te prošetali Palićem. U psihološkim radionicama najprije su se na jedan zabavniji način upoznali, a zatim se i učili važnosti uvažavanja drugoga u radionici „Mostovi tolerancije“.
Središnji dio ove manifestacije bio je svečani program u kojem su sudjelovali učenici obje škole. Gosti iz Vrbovca za ovu su priliku pripremili recital Sekulićevih pjesama, a naši su učenici u kratkom igrokazu predstavili Sekulićeva prisjećanja na život u Tavankutu i rano djetinjstvo, protkano recitacijom njegovih pjesama.
Program je završen dodjelom Sekulićevih knjiga svim sudionicima programa i svim gostima kao uspomenu na sudjelovanje u prvoj manifestaciji ovakve vrste u našoj školi.
Manifestaciju je financijski podržao i omogućio Središnji državni ured za Hrvate izvan Republike Hrvatske, a knjige koje su poklonjene svim sudionicima svečanoga programa i svim gostima donirao je Katolički institut za kulturu, povijest i duhovnost Ivan Antunović.

This year's meeting was attended by 25 elementary schools (18 from the Republic of Slovenia, 6 from the Republic of Croatia and our school from the Republic of Serbia), who competed in slalom and giant slalom. The appearance, functionality and other characteristics of the extramobils were evaluated by a special committee consisting of teachers from Ptuj Mechanical School as well as teams of students who evaluated the three best extramobils.
Lunch was served for all participants after the competition. After lunch, there was a formal closing ceremony and all students received certificates of participation and acknowledgments. Our school extramobil- FLAMENKO, won recognition award for the original solution, as well as the third place in the slalom and giant slalom category.

Celebrated World Theater Day
On March 27, 2018, our school celebrated World Theater Day in our school. Mother tongue teachers devoted their time to drama as a literary genre in correlation with theatrical art.
Students and teachers made a billboard on the World Theater Day.
We look forward to an agreed departure to the theater in Subotica, where we will round up the story of the World Theater Day.
Despotovac – a view of the trip
During the two-day excursion, the students of the seventh and eighth grades visited several important tourist destinations on April 9 and 10, 2018, accompanied by their teachers Kristijan Milanković, Emina Tikvicki, Danijela Radnić and Slađana Knežević.
The first day we visited Mount Avala and the Avala TV tower. Next stop was Smederevo, where we visited Smederevo fortress - built by the 15th century despot Đurađ Branković.
Furthermore, we visited the archaeological site Viminacium near Kostolac, the Roman military headquarters and the capital of the Roman province. We visited Upper Moesia - one of the two largest fortifications in the province and the central point in the defense of this Danube region. Upon arrival in Despotovac, we settled in the lodge "Resava". After dinner, there was a disco night.
The second day we visited the Manasija monastery, which was built by the Serbian despot Stefan Lazarević at the beginning of the 15th century. The monastery is famous for the Resava school. Monks who nurtured literature and copywriting gathered there.
We also visited Resavska cave, our biggest and most beautiful cave, accompanied by a speleologist.
The other natural attraction we visited was the largest waterfall in Serbia, Big Buka. It belongs to the hydrosystem of the Lisine River and is over 20 meters high.
Next stop was Svilajnac, where we visited the Natural History Center. The students were presented with a mix of science, education, history and tourism in a very specific way.
While coming home, the students took part in a quiz organized by our guide. In a very interesting and humorous way, we recapped important information that we had learned during this beautiful trip.
We returned home with a lot of positive impressions.
World Theater Day
On Saturday, April 21st, 2018, students of the upper grades of our school visited the National Theater in Subotica and on that occasion they watched the Glasina play, Nile Seymon.
This is a notion of the urban life of people in position. The store is located in downtown New York.
After the performance, the students shared their positive impressions, as well as criticism, with their teachers, Jelena Rakić and Sladjana Knežević. In this way, we marked the World Theater Day.
