4TH HIGH SCHOOL OF CHIOSCALENDAR 2019 Continuing for a second year  our special calendar bookissue, devoted to our site, we wanted to do a project by thename "Monuments of Chian nature". When we hear 'monuments ', our mind usually goes to remnants of the past,which carry their own history, they speak in their own way,but did not have life in the literal sense of the word. The"natural monuments" by contrast, are live, their juices �owthrough and when they stop living, will cease to constitutemonuments. They will be just memories and this will be themost unpleasant that might happen. Trees, shrubs and�owers of our island, the �ngerprints of its �ora, rooted inthe soil are patiently, waiting from all of us to respect, tolove, to care as a valuable piece of ourselves.
