Ingrid Alexandra has published a message to other Russ (students finnishing 13 year of school) in Norway the weekend the official russe celebration starts. Norway has this very curious tradition to celebrate the exams before they are taken, but it goes way back and seems difficult to change. She is beautiful as always and supprising to see a photo with her class also, but I expect they hope the press will leave her alone the next 20 days when they got theese photos

In Norway, we have a special graduation tradition, namely the Russetid. At this time we celebrate that we have finished 13 years of schooling. Russetiden is often associated with parties and parades - but it is also about togetherness, about celebrating with friends and fellow students. Now we are approaching the end of a period of 13 years of ups and downs! There have been days when it has been difficult to get up in the morning, terrifying to go to school and stressful periods before tests and exams.
But there have also been days when we have found new friends, been inspired by a teacher or finished something we have been working on for too long.
In the Russetiden, it is important to remember those who have experienced exclusion, bullying or those who, for various reasons, have not been able to finish upper secondary school.
Therefore, I hope that everyone remembers that it is not too late to get to know new people. We must not forget to celebrate, because we have come a long way. I hope you are as proud as I am of how much we have learned and developed since the first day of school in the first grade. I hope everyone has a amazin Russetid, remember to look after each other.
Ingrid
