Students of school №25 won the first prize in a Russian-American schools contest.

Ashley Azeltine, a teacher of the Russian language from Kansas (USA) will visit school №25 at the beginning of a new academic year. She will visit Perm within the «Sister-Schools» project in which both American and Russian schools took part.

The «Sister-Schools» contest between American-Russian school projects was organized by the Consulate-General of the USA in Yekaterinburg. Its goal is to develop the friendship of American and Russian school children through the joint project activity in 2014-2015.

Ten projects of partner-schools of the Urals and the USA came through to the final of the contest. Perm school №25 together with Mission Trail Middle School from Olathe (Kansas, USA) presented the project “From A to Z”. A group of sixth grade students from school №25 under the guidance of their English teacher prepared their projects on Kansas, its history, geography, traditions and famous people per each letter of the alphabet. American students, in their turn, under the guidance of their Russian teacher Ashley Azeltine created a similar project on Permskiy Krai.

The students of Perm school №25 won the contest. Both teachers will visit each other to see the schools and the project participants.

Now the project participants from Perm are looking forward to seeing Ashley Azeltine. During her visit to Perm she will see Perm’s places of interest and will conduct a number of classes for students of school №25.
