Ukraniane Cultural Exchange: 6/11/09 at 6PM








We were treated to a wonderful evening by all the Ukranine students in the LCC auditorium. Teachers and students from each school worked diligently all week to rehearse native songs and dances to perform for us. Each school presented a power point presentation with pictures to highlight their town and important historical facts about it. A synopsis of the event is as follows:

One school, Lviv Linguistic Gymnosium, from Lviv Ukraine, perfomed a native folk song "I Will Go In The High Mountain". This beautiful ballad speaks about Ukranian lands and mountains, as well as love.

The other school, Kharkiv Specialized School N156, from Khavkiv, performed a native song "How It Is In Our Ukraine". This song speaks of the flowers, the singers, and happiness in homes and that there is no holiday without songs in the Ukraine.

After the formal presentation, students shared breads, chocolates and beverages from the Ukraine with us. They also gave us gifts to remember them by and we did the same. We were sad to see the evening come to a close.
