Thank you letter to our theatrical group from the Special Vocational Gymnasium-Lyceum of Ilion, Athens.

We were happy to receive today a thank you letter from the Head and the Teachers’ Association of the Special Vocational Gymnasium-Lyceum of Ilion as well as Ms N.K., a special education teacher in said school, where our theatrical group performed the play “A LINE AND A DOT AND A MIRACLE ON THE SPOT” on April 19, 2024. The theatrical performance is based on our homonymous fairytale book which is published by Megas Seirios Publications.

We let the teachers give you the picture themselves…

«THANK YOU LETTER»

Dear Ms. Evangelia Gkioni,

We would like to express our warmest thanks to yourself and the theatrical group of Omilos Eksipiretiton for the wonderful theatrical play “A LINE AND A DOT AND A MIRACLE ON THE SPOT” which took place in the amphitheatre of our School.

More than 40 students, together with their teachers and the entire staff of the school attended the theatrical play. We all followed the hero, our Little Miracle, in the exploration of «…I want to become…» through its adventures. Our students were very happy to watch the play, they were very concentrated and dedicated to the play, and mainly, they participated through the interactive activities offered by your theatrical group.

Students went up to the stage to dance, enjoy and participate in the play each one in their own unique way. More specifically, a student of ours, at the point where the Little Miracle was asking the Baker «…I want to become…», took a loaf of bread and went around to the amphitheatre dancing, full of joy because he himself was participating in the theatrical play with your group. Some students went up to the stage during the play and danced to their own dancing capabilities; some danced from their seats while some others participated in dancing with their wheelchairs.A student went on his own to greet all the members of the theatrical group, one by one, in order to show them his gratefulness and gladness.

Thank you very much for coming and selflessly giving smiles to all of us. Thank you for the message you passed that we do not need to be looking for the miracle as «EVERY CHILD IS A MIRACLE ON ITS OWN».

In the end, you donated to us your wonderful fairytale book with a written dedication for the library of our School. We believe that in our times, these actions of love and joy should be highlighted so that all can know who are those who actually support our children through their actions.

«Dear Theatrical Group of Omilos Eksipiretiton,

With this letter I want to express my thoughts and feelings that you evoked through the images of joy that you gifted the students of our school. I am coming to thank you from the depths of my heart for your tangible support. From the first week that I made the request for you to come to our school, you called me and discussed for a possible date to arrange the play. From my part I was explaining to you the possible difficulties that may occur with our students but you reassured me by telling me “Don’t worry, the children will watch and participate throughout the play”.

We thank each member of the theatrical group separately; you are also a MIRACLE, individually each one of you. Through the selfless offer of your play, you brought joy to our students lavishly. Or students really enjoyed it, danced with the Wiseman, the Miracle, the Baker, and the whole town of the Wows.

The roles of the Wiseman, the Godmother, the Miracle, the Baker, the Teacher, the Pupils and the whole Town of the Wows was as if your group had studied as actors, and they interacted with our students so nicely. I thank my colleague and member of your group, Valia who, when I learned about your play, was willing to explain to me each role of the story and how all this started as an idea to build a wonderful theatrical performance from a book by Omilos Eksipiretiton.

I thank each and every one separately: Tasos, Persa, Kostas, Ioulia and Vasiliki through the fantastic roles they performed. Warm thanks for the donation of your book -with a dedication- for the library of our school, so that all the teachers and students can read and search for the little Miracle that is hidden inside us.

As a substitute teacher in the school that I invited you to come, I will have the pleasure to invite you again, probably from the school I will be next year. After all the joy and uplifting that I saw in the eyes of my students, I must say you are as your title says “A line and a dot and a MIRACLE on the spot!”.

Warmest regards,

N.K. teacher in special education
