Vladimir Penin presented sports equipment to students of the Mazolovo Secondary School in the Vitebsk region
Mazolovo Secondary School has been the winner of the year-round district school sports games for six years. Also, students from Mazolovo regularly rank among the best in regional and republican competitions. In the past year alone, they participated in 20 competitions of various levels, winning over 50 medals.
The school is implementing an innovative project "Implementation of the Model of the Republican Center for Sports Professional Orientation as a Component of a Unified Educational Space," based on the results of biometric studies of students to determine their individual physical characteristics.
Deputy Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee Vladimir Penin and Head of the Main Department for Education of the Regional Executive Committee Dmitry Khoma came to congratulate the young athletes on their achievements.
— Although the "Our Children" campaign has formally ended, we, as instructed by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, continue to visit schools and talented children in rural areas, handing over modern sports equipment to them so that they can develop their abilities and in the future bring glory to Belarus in international arenas, – said Vladimir Petrovich. — This school can be proud of its students' performances and is rightly considered one of the best in the region.
Deputy Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee Vladimir Penin: Such campaigns will be held in the future. The main message is for children to engage more in sports and physical education, be healthy, and get distracted from gadgets. And without good equipment, this is problematic.
Also, the honored guests thanked the physical education teachers Anna Bugaeva and Ivan Marchenko for their contribution to training for high sports results and fostering an active lifestyle.
— Schoolchildren love sports, particularly cross-country skiing and biathlon. We have the necessary facilities for training, which we manage to maintain and update thanks to the support of local authorities. We also go to the roller ski track in Gorodok for training on weekends, — Ivan Ivanovich reported. — It is gratifying that there is a return, our trainees take high places in the most prestigious competitions in the country. After school, some of them continue to professionally engage in their chosen disciplines by entering Olympic reserve schools and sports universities. Among the graduates are athletes with ranks, candidates and masters of sports.
The students received new skis and ski boots, balls, and a table tennis table.
