“It is always a pleasure to congratulate winners,” notes ILS Principal OIga Shevchenko. “Each of our students worked hard to achieve victory: Timur has been editor of Fox Tales since its founding, Denis and Alina are regular contributors, and Lina’s first article for the paper was also a great success. I would like to wish the Fox Tales team further creative development and new victories!”
