The new quarter for the students of this school will begin precisely at a time when the rest of the Kazakh students will relax
on vacation. Fifth in November at their desks and sit those who have already recovered.

[Comment Mod NR. We refer to the suspicions of parents, claiming that it was hepatitis. What is confusing is that the message
approved the sale of watermelons, which in this time of year already on the market disappears.]
