Transitions
As of today, Rachel has completed her studies at Ukrainian school. We ask the children to attend through fifth grade, since in sixth grade their involvement with confirmation at church begins. Both Ukrainian school and confirmation are religious in nature (Ukraine Orthodox and Lutheran). In addition, both activities require a major time commitment: four hours on Saturday for Ukrainian school and three hours on Wednesday (+ youth outings) for confirmation.We gave Rachel the option of continuing her Ukrainian schooling, but her heart is in the youth program at church. Our pastor and youth director have both commented on her excitement at joining. Actually, unbridled excitement is a better way to describe it. She is also looking forward to sleeping late on Saturdays! Between English school, Ukrainian school, and Sunday School, she has awakened early every day of the week for most of the last three years.
