A new school and kindergarten were celebrated in Neuvottoma

The inauguration of the Neuvottoman school and kindergarten was held on Wed. 19.11.2025 at the Neuvottoman sports hall. A large audience was able to enjoy the morning exercises of the kindergarten and Eskari students, the performances of the Nyt alka koulu (Now is the school) for the 1st-2nd graders and the Kehorythmiikka (Body Rhythm) for the 3rd-4th graders. The 5th and 6th graders performed the Kehruuwalssi (Spinning Waltz). The event was hosted by Aino and Jare. They gave a speech on behalf of the school and speeches were also heard from the former teacher of Neuvottoman, Marita Hauhia, who gave an overview of the birth of the school in Finland and in Neuvottoman. In terms of early childhood education, the speaker was the head of early childhood education, Johanna Oleander, who reminded that the foundation of life is built in childhood and that early childhood education and school play a big role in that work. 

It is great that Neuvottoman has acquired a property designed for a school and daycare center that connects children and adults. However, the value is created by the work done inside the building,

Johanna reminded in her speech.

At the end of the event, the Kymenlaakso song was sung as a group song, accompanied by Emilia, Eino, Elsi and Aapo together with the teacher.
