Every year, the mayor of Gabrovo Municipality honors the most prominent and talented Gabrovo students, through a ceremony of recording their names and achievements in the "Gifts and Achievements" book of honor. Expressing their respect for the hard work, aspiration and diligence of the graduating twelfth graders, 15 children from Gabrovo schools, their teachers and principals were invited today to a short celebration in the Ritual Hall of Gabrovo Municipality.
“Carry Gabrovo in your heart, because Gabrovo is your family, your friends, Gabrovo is the smiles and memories accumulated so far. Gabrovo is the beginning, the example and the lesson. Gabrovo is opportunity, motivation and development. Gabrovo is strong with the potential of all of you – talented, knowledgeable and ambitious young people, where everyone has their important role.
Know that the puzzle will never be complete if even one piece is missing. Each one of our Gabrovo is valued for what he is and what he has the ambition to develop. I believe that if we give our best, if we learn from each other, and are open to the world around us, we can achieve much more together to last.
I am glad that today "Gifts and Achievements" has a face, and not one, but dozens - your faces. Gabrovo has a wonderful future and it lies in you. I am grateful that you will be writing his latest story.” said Tanya Hristova in her address to those present in the hall.
