The Primary School in Kittlitz is part of the EU-Schulprogramms Sachsens school programme for the school year 2021|2022. 

The aim of the programme is to increase the consumption and acceptance of fruit, vegetables and milk by children through regular offerings in Saxon nurseries and kindergartens as well as primary and special schools. With a free extra portion of fruit (in the case of the primary school in Kittlitz), children should be informed about healthy eating. Educational accompanying activities, such as farm visits or thematic project days, should at the same time promote knowledge about products and their origin, as well as children's skills in handling products.

All participating institutions are regularly supplied with free products (fruit, vegetables, milk) by an approved supplier. The search for a suitable supplier as well as the on-site organisation is the responsibility of the facility. To increase the effectiveness of the programme, accompanying educational activities are to be carried out in the facilities.

You can find out more about the programme here.

Funding for the programme is provided by the European Union and the Freistaat Sachsen.

Signing of the agreement | Start of the PiT programme 

We want that the children in our Primary School can learn everyday and life skills to an even greater extent. Life skills are skills that enable us to deal appropriately with our fellow human beings, as well as with problems and difficult situations. For our primary school children, these skills include recognising the feelings of others, expressing them appropriately, listening well and expressing kindness. To this end, extensive discussions took place with all stakeholders and the necessary decision was made in November: PiT- Ostsachsen ("So that children grow up safe and healthy!"), supports the democratic development process of the school.

The signing of the agreement was attended by: Hauptamtsleiter Mr Storch, Hauptkommissar Mr Thomas, Schulreferentin Mrs Gerhardi vom Landesamt für Schule und Bildung Standort Bautzen, der Ortsvorsteher Mr Nahrstedt, die Elternratsvorsitzende Mrs Hartmann-Müller, die Hortleiterin Mrs Zenker, Teachers and of course children
