Against the backdrop of  all these educational challenges and deterrents, our Russian American children were not only able to continue their education in American schools, but continued their online classes at Russian Schools throughout the U.S.   This year, Congress of Russian Americans was proud to present many of the Russian School graduates with certificates of achievements, congratulatory letters and special stipends for Gold and Silver recipients, as well as honorary CRA membership for 2021-22.   Awards were handed out by CRA directors or representatives in various schools including the Sts. Cyrill & Methodious Russian School in San Francisco and the All Russian Saints Russian School in Burlingame.

At the Sts.Peter & Paul church feast day, Congress of Russian Americans also gave out certificates of achievements, congratulatory letters and scholarships to two of this year’s recipients, Lizabella Nadelson, who will pursue her studies in medical and pharmaceutical chemistry education at the private liberal arts college in Davidson, North Carolina and Alexander Vorobiov-Wilson, who was accepted to the software engineering department of the prestigious ITMO University in St.Petersburg, Russia.

We commend all our graduates in their hard work and accomplishments and wish all of them, as well as our scholarship recipients much success in your future endeavors!
