There are no teachers at work at the Gymnasium today. There are no students in classes at the Gymnasium today. But why? Because today is Operations Dagsværk (literal translation is "Day´s work")

Siden vi har ikke klasser i dag, tog alle lærer fra Herning Gymnasium til Vingsted i aftes for vores egen dag sammen med hinanden idag.
Since we do not have classes today, all the teaching staff from Herning Gymnasium got on a bus and went to Vingsted last night for our own day together today.

OD er et nyt ting til mig og jeg ved ikke så meget om det så jeg er meget spændt for at komme tilbage på skolen på torsdag og hører fra mine elever om deres dag!
OD is such a new thing to me and I do not know much about it, so I am really excited to come back to school on Thursday and hear from my students about their day!

It's a great idea and teaches kids to care about other kids in other parts of the world by using their time to work and earn money for these kids...Enjoy your day off!!
Kelli, Thanks for sharing what's happening with your school. I read the link.. this is such a great project for students to participate in. Should be something American students participate in... or students all over the world.
Raising funds is such a cool idea - and giving the students a day off to do so. Brilliant!
That's pretty cool!
