Russian Club
The Russian program has a very active Russian Club, which further explores areas of Russian culture, and is responsible for the extremely popular Russian Banquet, held every other spring. Other events in its annual cycle include an Evening of Russian Music, the Russian Whoop-de-doo, gorodki games, and exchange reunions, acting as sponsors of cultural events in the community; running a Russian Outreach program to the elementary schools, facilitating pen-pals with Russian children for community members, as well as raising money to support the endangered Siberian tiger. The Russian Club also has a Russian Chorus, a Russian Folk Dance Ensemble, and a Russian Orchestra, in which students are welcome to participate.

School is out until September, but that doesn't mean we're completely idle! We're planning a Russian camp for children in 4th-6th grades this summer, where elementary-aged kids can have fun learning Russian songs, games, and other activities. It will be run almost completely by current or former Russian students of ARHS/MS, with only adult supervision. Expect it during mid-August, for about 10 days.
Also in August: Choir rehearsals start for the performance at the Taste of Russia!
Note that all Russian Club members are expected to attend and help out at the Taste of Russia. See Ms. Wobst the schedule/sign-up sheet.
