We have done much. But we have still a lot of work. A new school year has began. We have listened to the school-girls of the 9-11th grades and chosen Tania Kolomiets for the vacant place. This hasn’t solved the problem because the teacher of Biology and Chemistry and the best performer of the ensemble Solomakha Svitlana Oleksandrivna leaves our school. But this doesn’t mean the end. To keep the memory of the primary staff of the ensemble (Natalia Abovian, Lyudmyla Kerbaliyeva, Olena Dubyna, Svitlana Solomakha) we have made records of the best songs in our performance. We are obliged to the English teacher Tetiana Vladyslavivna Kyrychok for wording the texts of two songs. The music to one of the songs was written by Natalia Abovian.

When we came to the park we pitched our tents near the pond. On the first night it rained hard. In the morning our father got up, took the binocular and went to walk in the park. Suddenly he heard a barking of the dog. He went forward and saw that dog chasing the hare. The father said to the dog “Go away!”, and the dog stopped and ran away. The father has seen many interesting events yet. In the park we bathed in the pond, fished and walked in the park. The first fishing was not successful, but the next was lucky.

There is a tradition in Ukraine to leave the house unlocked on the Old New Year. People wait for the sowers who at dawn go from house to house with gloves and little sacks full of grain. The first sower brings happiness and wealth to the house. Only boys may be sowers. Masters of the houses give the boys sweets and money. The most active sowers among our boys were Bardachenko Olexii (2nd grade, 105 hryvnias) and Nesen Olexandr (8th grade, 55 hryvnias). From the 10th of December to the 21st of January we had school competitions in tennis. Sixteen students took part in it. Kolomiets Ihor (10th grade) took the 1st place, Slipko Viacheslav (9th grade) took the 2nd place, Savchenko Olexii (11th grade) took the 3rd place.
