On the 17th of November 2022 the Marjatta school for children with special needs commemorated its 50th anniversary with a festive performance with the children, teachers, therapists and co-workers.

Parents, members from the board, former co-workers and teachers, local politicians and former pupils were invited in the school hall to listen and to watch how teachers, coworkers and children of all classes narrated the history of the school with songs and eurythmy performances.
