Testimonial: "Aflat în al doilea meu an la catedră mă pot declara norocos, sau mai bine spus că sunt binecuvântat de Dumnezeu, pentru ziua de astăzi, pentru cele auzite și mai ales pentru cele văzute. Plin de sinceritate nu credeam că există așa ceva, plin de bucurie trăiesc clipe minunate și CUIBUL îmi va rămâne în minte și chiar în sufletul pentru totdeauna. Inspirație și motivație, bucurie și speranță spre o schimbare care să aibă loc, datorită dumneavoastră, celor ce alcătuiți cel mai stabil cuib. Rămân recunoscător pentru o viață întreagă și sper din suflet să mai ajung la dumneavoastră, dacă aș scrie de o mie de ori mulțumesc tot n-ar ajunge și n-ar atinge limita mulțumirii. Prin această vizită am evoluat, mă înclin în fața dumneavoastră și a muncii depuse!"
EN: Being in my second year at the department, I can declare myself lucky, or better said that I am blessed by God, for today, for what I heard and especially for what I saw. Full of sincerity, I did not believe that such a thing existed, full of joy I am living wonderful moments and THE NEST will remain in my mind and even in my soul forever. Inspiration and motivation, joy and hope for a change that will take place, thanks to you, those who make up the most stable nest. I remain grateful for a lifetime and I sincerely hope to reach you again, if I were to write a thousand times thank you, it would still not be enough and would not reach the limit of gratitude. Through this visit I have evolved, I bow before you and the work done!"

Their dedication, imagination and team spirit are a clear reflection of the potential they hold. We are genuinely happy to see how they grow and evolve through projects that weave together reading, art and collaboration.

Terrarium
Terrarium
We would like to express my gratitude for the support that Miss Codruta brought in making the terrarium at TC a reality. It has proven to be a tremendous success, captivating students across all age groups, from kindergarten to high school. Additionally, visitors during our Open Days were highly impressed by this engaging educational feature.
I am pleased to inform you that the terrarium now houses two Phaenopharos khaoyaiensis stick insects, affectionately named French and Fry by the students. The Phasmatodea (Phasmida) order, commonly known as stick insects, derives its name from the Greek word "Phasma", meaning apparition or phantom, which reflects their remarkable camouflage abilities. The stick insects were brought from the Institute of Biological Researches in Cluj-Napoca by Miss Codruța and are now comfortably housed in a terrarium designed and assembled by Miss Rosina.
Thank you once again for your invaluable contribution to this project, which has greatly enriched the educational experience at TC.
