The supervisor of all projects was computer science teacher Olha Borysenko, whose work played a significant role in the lyceum students’ achievements. Her professional guidance, attention to each participant, and pedagogical support helped the students successfully represent the lyceum at this prestigious all-Ukrainian competition.
“We sincerely rejoice in the achievements of our students, who have once again confirmed the high level of education, pursuit of knowledge, and ability to worthily represent the lyceum at the national level,” said Olena Krasnova, Director of the Lyceum. “This is a victory not only for the lyceum students themselves but also for those who supported them – parents, teachers, the project supervisor, and our entire educational institution. Above all, however, this was made possible thanks to the constant care, support, and attention of the united and cohesive Dnipro Jewish Community under the leadership of Chief Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki.”
