| Can you find us on the map? This is an older political map of Ukraine (with some outdated spellings of cities) but our town is labeled with a red star. |
There are 2 schools in our town, our Lyceum has about 575 students. The students from Ms. Svetlana Ivanovna's 9V (9th grade) English class will be writing entries for the Ukrainian portion of the blog, under the direction of Ms. Jing Li, a Peace Corps Volunteer from San Francisco, California.

Our class is very excited to meet the students from Texas! We will take a photo during class tomorrow afternoon and it will be posted on Monday, along with some short biographies of our students.
Talk to you soon!
