Thomas Boles

Technology Coordinator

Many programs offer similar options but SchoolSpeak excels with ease of use for both teachers and families. The support team is fast in response and great in working with us to create new features in usually only a day or two. It is unparalleled in other programs (and I have used many of them). That reason alone would be enough for us to choose this service if we had to do it all over again.

Bonnie Massmann

Principal

We have used SchoolSpeak for three years and it has been a great time saver for our office staff. Instead of distributing paper newsletters by hand or by mail we now drop our newsletter onto the portal and we are done.

Doris Salmi

Secretary

As a school secretary, I am expected to come up with accurate records from class lists, attendance, health information, student labels, census figures etc. as if it was needed yesterday. School Speak makes me look good.

An Orthodox kindergarten was opened in the Moscow region of Nizhny Novgorod Within the framework of the national project “Demography” in the Moscow region of Nizhny Novgorod (Shalyapin street, house 25A), an Orthodox kindergarten named after St. Seraphim of Sarov was opened.

Metropolitan Georgiy of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas performed the ceremony of consecrating the building of the new kindergarten. The solemn ceremony was attended by the Head of Nizhny Novgorod Yuri Shalabaev, the Minister of Education, Science and Youth Policy of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Olga Petrova, Metropolitan of Saransk and Mordovia Zinovy, Vicars of the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese Bishop Ilya of Balakhna and Bishop Filaret of Dalnekonstantinovskiy, as well as Bishop Augustin of Gorodetsk and Vetluzhsky, Bishop of Vyksa and Pavlovsky Varnava, Bishop of Lyskovsky and Lukoyanovsky Siluan, Secretary of the Nizhny Novgorod Diocesan Administration Archpriest Sergiy Matveev, Head of the Department of Education and Catechism of the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese Archpriest Evgeny Khudin, Head of the Organizational Department of the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese Archpriest Alexander Malafeev, Assistant to the Administrator of the Diocese for Administrative and Economic Affairs Priest Alexander Gimoyan, Rector Holy Trinity Seraphim-Diveevo Monastery Abbess Sergius (Konkova), abbess of the Ababkovsky Nicholas St. George Monastery Abbess Nikon (Zhelyakova), adviser to the head of Nizh Metropolitan of Yegorod Olga Baraeva, President of the Nizhny Novgorod State Linguistic University named after N. A. Dobrolyubov Boris Zhigalev, teaching staff of the kindergarten headed by director Irina Lapshina, future pupils and their parents.

Before the arrival of the guests of honor, an entertainment program for children was organized in the courtyard of the educational institution, including a soap bubble show and a game with animators.

Kindergarten students demonstrated their creativity to the guests – they showed a funny scene and read poetry.

The children’s parents turned to Bishop George. They congratulated the administrator of the diocese on his birthday celebrated on August 14 and thanked him for taking care of the Orthodox educational institutions of the Nizhny Novgorod Metropolis.

Yury Shalabaev greeted the participants of the solemn ceremony. He noted that the opening of a kindergarten is an important event for the city. “I won’t say that in Nizhny Novgorod the situation with the queue for kindergartens is more difficult than in other regions, but there is still a problem, and I am grateful to the diocese for helping to solve it. Last year, an Orthodox kindergarten appeared in the Prioksky district, and it turned out to be in great demand. I am sure that the tradition will continue in this educational institution,” said the head of Nizhny Novgorod.

Addressing the audience, Metropolitan Georgy noted that the kindergarten named after St. Seraphim of Sarov is a gift to the city on its 800th anniversary: ​​“This year we are consecrating churches and monuments so that Nizhny Novgorod becomes more beautiful, and we are opening an Orthodox kindergarten named after the great saint God’s. Let the tradition of giving gifts to your hometown not be impoverished. And let many children be born on the Nizhny Novgorod land, let children’s voices ring. After all, children are our faith, hope and love. I would like to thank everyone whose efforts have brought a new kindergarten to the city.

Administrator of the Nizhny Novgorod diocese, Yuri Shalabaev and Olga Petrova solemnly cut the red ribbon. The guests were given a tour of the kindergarten. After the solemn ceremony was over, Metropolitan George and other honored guests planted trees near the building of the new educational institution.

Information:

The Orthodox kindergarten named after St. Seraphim of Sarov is the second Orthodox kindergarten in Nizhny Novgorod and the fifth in the Nizhny Novgorod diocese. In August 2020, an Orthodox kindergarten named after St. Cyril and Mary of Radonezh, parents of St. Sergius of Radonezh, was opened in the Prioksky district of Nizhny Novgorod. Prior to this, Orthodox kindergartens named after St. Sergius of Radonezh in Arzamas, named after St. Seraphim of Sarov in the Resurrection Deanery, and the kindergarten “Peresvet” on Bor were opened.

The children’s institution will implement the main general education program “From Birth to School”, which meets all the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard. It is supplemented by the Orthodox component, which will become the basis for the moral education of children and the formation of their spiritual values. Its implementation within the framework of extracurricular activities will be carried out with pupils who have reached the age of four. The youngest will be introduced to the dates of the Orthodox calendar, they will participate in matinees, performances, holidays dedicated to Easter, Christmas and other Pupils, their parents and educators will be cared for by a confessor.

The kindergarten will be able to attend 150 children aged 1.5 to 7 years old. The building is fully equipped for a comfortable stay for kids: small armchairs and sofas have been purchased, multi-colored tables and chairs are adjusted to the height of the children. There are interesting drawings on the doors: letters of the alphabet, planets, a rocket, a giraffe and a growth ruler. All playrooms and bedrooms have underfloor heating. You can dry your clothes in a room with lockers, and dishwashers are installed in the kitchens for each group.

Modern equipment and health-saving technologies will be used for classes with children. The modern educational process involves the use of computers, interactive whiteboards, tablets and other technical means. For example, in addition to the teacher’s reading, a music tablet will be used, with the help of which the story will be told in the voices of favorite children’s characters. Working with an interactive whiteboard, the children will be able to jointly find answers to the teacher’s questions, gaining communication skills. In addition, the kindergarten has its own library, which will include teaching aids, books for children and, of course, Orthodox literature.

Great attention is paid to the safety of pupils. The windows have locks that can only be opened with a key. Safety measures are taken wherever it is possible to come into contact with electricity. An electronic security system has been installed, which excludes strangers from entering the territory of the kindergarten, video surveillance, a fire alarm, and a smoke exhaust system. The catering unit is equipped with modern equipment.

You can enroll in a kindergarten either through a personal appeal by writing an e-mail to [email protected] with the note “We want you to go to kindergarten”, or through the Education Department of the Administration of the Moskovsky District of Nizhny Novgorod.

Pope Gregory the Great Dialogist: Orthodox Pope of Rome

Gregory the Dialogist, Pope of Rome (604).

Pope of Rome, whose name is associated with the Gregorian chant and the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts. He shared a meal with the beggars, his books were read by Parisian scholastic scholars and Moscow simple monks. Great saint, revered both in the West and in the East. What do we know about him?

The memory of St. Gregory is so firmly connected with Great Lent that even the name of this saint immediately brings to mind the bright sadness of Lenten services: the measured reading of psalms, the unpretentious melodies of repentant troparia, the twilight of a March morning, the pure lightness of the soul… And already in at the very end, blessing the people, the priest, among other saints, through whose prayers we hope to be saved, names Gregory the Dialogist, the Pope of Rome.

Tradition calls him the compiler of the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, a special liturgy that is served only during Great Lent. In order to understand why it was necessary to arrange a special “lenten” liturgy, one must remember one simple, but half-forgotten truth: the liturgy is always a holiday. Moreover, it is always a meal, a treat. From the very beginning, Christians, who did not yet have their own churches, gathered in private apartments, “breaking bread, eating in joy and simplicity of heart.” That is why the usual liturgy is served by fasting only on Sunday and Saturday, the days when it is not supposed to fast. But the Church could not completely deprive believers of the opportunity to take communion on weekdays, and therefore they began to serve the Liturgy of the pre-sanctified Gifts – the Gifts are not consecrated on it, they are consecrated before , usually the previous Sunday. The people take communion, but there is no complete solemn rite.

According to modern scientific data, Grigoriy the Dialogist was still not the author of the rites of the liturgy, just as he was not the creator of Gregorian chants, ancient chants of the Latin Church, similar to the Russian “znamenny chant”. But there is no smoke without fire: while on the papal throne, Saint Gregory actually composed liturgical hymns, streamlined church services, and reformed choir singing. Therefore, the name of liturgical monuments in his honor is quite justified, although it cannot be understood in the sense of “copyright”.

In the Latin tradition, Saint Gregory is called Gregory the Great. Its role in the history of the Western Church is indeed difficult to exaggerate. He became pope at a difficult time, at the end of the 6th century: the last ruins of the Roman Empire were being destroyed under the onslaught of barbarian invasions, the Byzantine emperor was actively interfering in Western politics, but could not have much influence; wars, devastation, epidemics – that very gloomy Middle Ages, about which the humanists loved to talk so much. “Cities were devastated, fortresses were destroyed, churches were burned, monasteries for men and women were ruined, villages were abandoned by the people, fields remained uncultivated, the land turned into a desert, not a single inhabitant remained on it, wild animals began to live where many people used to live. I don’t know what is happening in other parts of the world,” writes Gregory, “but in this land where we live, the end of the world is not only near, but has already come.”

Everything was collapsing around, but St. Gregory was creating, and the results of his labors survived the centuries: he founded monasteries and strengthened ascetic discipline, streamlined the canonical structure of the Church, worship and the economy of the Roman church state; it was he who sent a group of missionaries led by Augustine (the future Canterbury) to England, laying the foundation for the organization of the English Church. But his ministry also extended to purely secular areas.

Before starting his church service, Gregory received a very good education and for some time already held senior positions in the city administration, then represented the interests of the Western Church in Constantinople. This experience proved to be in great demand when, at 590, Gregory was elected pope: negotiations with the emperor and the Lombard rulers, the conclusion of truces and the payment of indemnities – all this was part of the duties of the Roman high priest.

In the Orthodox tradition, St. Gregory is known under the name of Dvoeslov. This emphasizes the other side of the saint’s personality: an unusual nickname comes from the title of the most popular work of Gregory – “Conversations about the life of the Italian fathers.” Interview – in the original dialogus, dialogue, in a literal translation into Russian – two-word. In the Middle Ages, this book was a “bestseller”, in the 8th century it was translated into Greek, and in the 9th century – into Slavonic (recall, the year of the baptism of Rus’ – 988!).

In fact, this is a patericon, a collection of stories about the life of Italian ascetics of the 6th century, which Gregory told his spiritual son. Readers were especially attracted by the descriptions of supernatural events that abound in the narrative: the miraculous increase in wine, the expulsion of demons, the unexpected punishment of sinners, discussions about the afterlife and the structure of the afterlife. By the way, the Western doctrine of life after death was largely formed under the influence of the dialogues between Pope Gregory and Deacon Peter, which they conduct on the pages of the Conversations. The scholastic concept of purgatory – a place where the souls of the dead are cleansed of sins by temporary suffering, which received rational development in the late Middle Ages, so that it was precisely established who would go to which section of purgatory, for what sin and for how long – was only taken to extremes. and thought out to the smallest detail by the system of Gregory the Great. Does this mean that Saint Gregory was non-Orthodox? Not at all, the theology of any saint is peculiar, has special characteristic features. But the disproportionate exaggeration of the significance of these traits, bringing them to extremes leads to deviation from the right faith.

Stories about miraculous events occupy a significant place in the “Dialogues”, however, miracles are only testimonies, and for the edification of Deacon Peter, and with him many readers who have been listening to St. Gregory for almost a thousand and a half years, in “Conversations” the inner side of the feat of the righteous is always emphasized: prayers, labors and humility.

Through the prayers of St. Konstantin Ponomar, the water in the lamps began to burn like oil, but Gregory cites another incident from the life of Konstantin. One villager came to look at the saint, who was very small in stature, “thin and very unattractive in face.” “I was thinking of seeing an important person, but this one doesn’t even look like a person.” As soon as I heard these words of St. Konstantin, immediately left the lamps that he was adjusting, quickly and with a joyful look approached the villager, embraced him in his arms and thanked him from the fullness of his heart that the villager had made such a review about him: “You alone,” said the saint, “did a fair review!” “Now I see that no matter how great this saint was in his miracles, he is even greater in his humility,” this is how the story of the unusual sexton ends.

The Double Words’ moral teachings are not veiled in any way, all practical conclusions and recommendations are given without the slightest disguise. But if for any modern book such moralism would be in bad taste and would be perceived as disrespect for the reader, then for the artless and straightforward style of the ancient righteous man, the teachings sound very natural and out of place.

Pope Gregory remained in the memory of his descendants just like this – strict, honest and consistent – a disciple of Christ. In the life of Gregory, compiled by Simeon Metaphrastus, only one case is described when Gregory, having nothing else to donate to an annoying beggar, ordered to give him a silver dish on which vegetables were brought to him. Later, when, according to the tradition of the Roman high priests, he shared a meal with twelve beggars, it turned out that there were not twelve, but thirteen beggars at the table – the angel of the Lord visited the house of Gregory, saying goodbye that it was he who donated that silver dish. St. Gregory cared for the unfortunate and the suffering carefully and systematically—not only personally receiving the poor in his house, but also channeling all the income from church property to the maintenance of the poor.

Of particular importance are the testimonies of Pope Gregory about the life of Benedict of Nursia, to whom the second part of the Conversations is dedicated. Saint Gregory lived only a few decades later, and his stories about the founder of Western monasticism are of great value. The first pope of monks in the history of the Church, Gregory, even at the height of power, did not cease to be an ascetic and ascetic, weighed down by vanity: “My soul grieves because the troubles of the affairs that lie upon me evoke in it memories of my former monastic life; about that life when she knew how to manage all the accidents, to rise above everything transient, because her thought was constantly directed towards the heavenly.

Thus wrote the greatest saint of the Western Church, a monk and archpastor who instructed the faithful and cared for the poor. Every year on March 25, his memory is celebrated, his name is heard at all liturgies of the presanctified Gifts, to the consolation and joy of all those familiar with his legacy.
