Our 11th formers getting their awards














Some of the 11th former's parents walked around with the traditional bread and salt, which are both important in Ukrainian culture. Bread represents Ukrainian hospitality and "the salt symbolizes friendship, an eternal friendship that will never sour because salt is never corrupted by time therefore, never loses its taste."
