our High School Russian program is in danger of being cut - need suggestions and ideas

[Pendergast, John J CIV USA USMA]

Dear Yuliya-

Given that you've posted this on the AATSEEL bulletin board, I suspect this suggestion may be superfluous, but AATSEEL and ACTR have a joint web page with interesting ideas on why one should study Russian:

Dear all,

I have to defend my small but productive Russian program (see below) to the school board this Thursday. I have a list of reasons as to why learning Russian is a great thing to do (not sure if this is the place to post it for those who'd willing to help to review), but am looking for more ideas...
Thank you!
