Dear pupils of Latvia,
We can do great things only if we are intelligent, zealous, and curious. I wish you to learn new skills, discover new wonders, and find new friends and see how beautiful, diverse, and interesting the world around us is in this school year. One can learn music easier if we know math well. You cannot write a good paper in biology and chemistry if you did not master grammar. Learn to think, discuss, and cooperate! Knowledge is the power that no one can take away. It is the power, which will shape our future. Grow big and smart for Latvia!

Learn from the best, and you will be the best yourself!
