Russian School

The State News: Multimedia

Eight-year-old Zoya Shevchenko is one of about 15 students of Russian immigrant Natalie Smith who came to the U.S. in 2005 from Khabarovsk, Russia. Smith spends her time teaching Russian to adopted Russian children in Michigan. Apart from the challenges of learning the language, the transition into American culture also poses difficulty for the children.

I was so surprised to see this! This is our Russian school! It is a wonderful opportunity for the kids - but even better for the parents who are drinking tea in the kitchen!
