MASK-MAKING PROJECT
 The mask-making project is the culminating activity of the
Native American study. It's centered on various Native
American cultures. Each student creates a mask that
incorporates aspects of a specific culture and its
environment. My groups are making North West Coast masks.
You can see the whole process of mask-making and hard work

On March 14th and 19th 2007 two concerts made the Assembly
Hall echo with songs, dances and sketches performed by the
students from the Language School. The concerts were
dedicated to Bulgarian and American cultures.
Students recited in English poems written by the
Bulgarian poet and revolutionist Hristo Botev. Moreover,
they showed great talent and skills interpreting in the
original Mark Twain and Emily Dickenson. The dance group
“Magnifica” with their choreographer Ms Ralitsa Todorova
impressed us again with their overwhelming dances. Our
American guests from Haven High School took part in the
concert dedicated to Kansas and the USA. Special guest was
Gergana Borislavova, a silver medal winner at the National
music competition “Orpheus’s talent” and a student at “Otets
Paisii” High School who received loud applauses from the
audience one of the members of which was the Governor of
Region Vratsa, Dr Antonio Georgiev.
