Teachers and students of Klevan Special School No.1 always look forward to events prepared and conducted by Christian ethics teacher Ruslana Kovalchuk. Theatrical performances are especially popular, which, according to reviews, unite the school, parents and students around eternal values, which is extremely important today.
Such performances are preceded by intensive preparation, which involves not only young actors, but also their class teachers, choreographers, and parents. Preparing costumes and backdrops, decorating the auditorium, and sound recording require painstaking work. But then comes the holiday that leaves.
On May 12, 2026, the school auditorium, designed for 110 seats, was again jam-packed. The spectators came to enjoy the musical and dramatic performance “What is the best thing in the world?”, which was prepared by students of grades 2–4 and was dedicated to Mother’s Day.
The script for this play was written by Anzhela Chudovets from the city of Zdolbuniv, Rivne region. In the play, the main characters — children Ivas and Natalochka — look for the best gift for their mother. They prepare various beautiful gifts for their mother: the first spring flowers, a sunny smile, the song of a lark, but in the end they realize that the best thing is the love that God generously pours into the hearts of people so that they can share it with their closest relatives.
The main idea of the play is to cultivate gratitude, respect and love for the mother, as well as to realize the importance of family values, because this is what the Lord teaches us in His Word.
One of the songs that the children performed in the play:
If any of you wants to find,
What is best in this world,
Do not go to distant worlds
And do not abandon your home.
There is a Source next to you,
That will radiate love and goodness.
Everyone can come to Him
And drink of living water.
A holy source, a source of love.
All who yearn, come to Him —
The Source of the Living, the Holy,
Which is the Lord.
In their reviews, the audience noted that they had great pleasure and that the organizers and young actors deserve the highest praise for their sincere, deep and meaningful play! 
“On this day, God held the sky above us: there was no air-raid alerts, we did not have power outages, the equipment did its job without a hitch, and in this time of war this is a great mercy of God!” Sister Ruslana shared, “After the performance, I had the opportunity to address the audience and remind them that Jesus Christ is close to each of us, that He loves people and extends His hand to everyone, calling them to believe in Him, accept Him into their hearts, and receive the most precious gift — eternal life.”
