Residents of Dmitrievka helped the school museum to collect more than 400 exhibits

21.01.2022. An old fire helmet, fragments of a printing press and more than 400 exhibits are kept by the school museum of the Dmitrievsky CPC kindergarten - secondary school in the Klichevsky district. This was told by the head of the museum, teacher-organizer Valentina Markova.


"The history of our museum began in the 80s of the last century. Then funds with exhibits began to be formed. In 2013, the museum was formed into a separate room, which is divided into three historical zones. In the first hall there are towels, embroidery, household items and much more. The second one houses exhibits dedicated to the history of the Great Patriotic War. Information about the residents of our agro-town, who heroically defended their Homeland from enemies, is collected and presented here. People brought fragments of shells found in the local forest, documents, photographs, military awards of participants in military operations, partisans. The third hall is dedicated to the history of our school and its graduates," said the head of the museum. 

Among the most interesting exhibits are a fire helmet of the XIX century found on the school grounds, fragments of a partisan printing press. "Another interesting exhibit is a butter churn made of a single piece of wood. Usually they were assembled from several plaques. There is also a clay pot, braided with metal wire. I saw the same one during an excursion to the Mir Castle," Valentina Markova said. "The work of preserving history and culture in our school never stops."

"We pay a lot of attention to the patriotic education of children. Thematic classes are constantly held, including in our museum. Our students know and respect the history of their region and country. Without knowing your roots and the events of the past, you cannot build the present and the future," said Alexander Radko, director of the educational institution. - In the Year of Historical Memory, many interesting events and excursions will be held for students. Tomorrow (January 22. - Approx. BELTA) 25 of our students will go on an excursion to the Museum of the Great Patriotic War in Minsk, a little later we will visit the Borki memorial complex in the Kirovsky district of Mogilev region."

89 children study in the educational and pedagogical complex, 24 more attend kindergarten.
