The Republic of Finland 90 years - Hakarinne Celibrates

The republic of Finland celibrates its 90th year on the 6th of December. It was during the first world war (1917) that the Finnish senate declared independancy from Russia and decided that the country should be a republic. Since the 6th of December is a holiday and the school is closed, the pupils and the staff of Hakarinteen koulu had their celibration the day before. Here we have some photos of the event. There are pupils of many nationality in Hakarinteen koulu and they played a role of ambassidors, each representing their country, like it is done at presidential invitations. On the other photo we see pupils and teachers in the Finnish national costume.
