Students of the Levi Yitzchak Schneerson Jewish Lyceum No. 144, the leading educational institution of the Dnipro Jewish Community, have achieved outstanding results at the International Online Chemistry Tournament organized by the ORT network of educational institutions. The competition brought together 270 students in grades 7-11 from 14 schools across Ukraine, Moldova, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Georgia, and Kyrgyzstan.
This intellectual contest served as a platform to test the depth of knowledge, analytical thinking, and ability to apply theoretical chemical concepts in practice. It also allowed students from different countries to feel part of a shared educational space that values perseverance, precision, and scientific curiosity.
Following the tournament, several students from the Dnipro Jewish Lyceum demonstrated brilliant results. First-degree diplomas were awarded to Alisa Shnaider, an 11th-grade student, and Yelyzaveta Talan, a 10th-grade student. Third-degree diplomas were awarded to Oleksandra Kazarian and Kira Nikitenko, 8th-grade students; Mykhailo Ostrovskyi and Mykhailo Rodynskyi, 7th-grade students; as well as Nelli Proshchenko, a 10th-grade student. Such a significant achievement is a testament to the lyceum’s systematic work in the field of natural sciences and the serious attitude of the students themselves towards learning and scientific development.
Chemistry teacher Tetiana Sirotkina played a crucial role in preparing the winners. Her professionalism, attentive approach to each student, and ability to spark interest in the subject helped the students unlock their potential and represent the lyceum with distinction on an international level.
“We sincerely rejoice in the success of our students, who have demonstrated a high level of knowledge and a responsible attitude to their studies,” noted the lyceum’s deputy principal, Svitlana Romenska. “We express our deep gratitude to chemistry teacher Tetiana Sirotkina for her inspiring work. We also thank the Dnipro Jewish Community and Chief Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki for their constant support of educational projects, thanks to which our children have the opportunity to grow, develop, and reach new heights.”
