This quarter, Extended Day is running a Russian heritage speakers language program at Earl Shapiro Hall for students in nursery through second grade. Russian-speaking high school volunteers will be paid. The program runs on from 2:10-4:30 p.m. on Mondays and from 2:10-3:30 p.m. on Fridays.

Anna Rzhetsky, sophomore, is the only volunteer so far.

“It’s finally a chance to involve my heritage more in my school activities,” Anna said. “I’m looking forward to helping kids out with their Russian, and in general just speaking the language more.”
