Congratulations to you and the entire staff of "Ilim" on the start of the new 2014-2015 school year! Good luck to you and your pupils, health and new discoveries!
We moved to Armenia and now discovering Yerevan city, and settling in a new place. Our kids go to an American school, because, to our great regret, we were disappointed with the conditions and the program in Russian-speaking schools. Apparently, after the "Ilim" we will not find such a school, where we found friends, attention and understanding, excellent teachers, and respect for the Russian language! Here it's different, and we hope that the "Ilim" will retain its image of multinational united family where all speak in Russian yet!
But, in general, Victor and Michael are satisfied with school, even though they, especially Victor, looking for a "second Ilim"! But they found themselves in a small America! Classes are small, children are different from everywhere, and that unite them. Victor misses you very much, but he tries. He says math teacher is very strict, and asks a lot of homework! I reminded him about the "Ilim", as it was also difficult with subjects in the beginning, and the most important thing now is to find friends who will help him get through this difficult period of adjustment.
Please give our regards to all the guys, teachers! We'll remember and love and miss all of you and our lives in Bishkek, "Ilim" very much!
