If you have ever been interested in visual or performing arts, you should undoubtably visit one of the greatest museums in the USA, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

When I first went to the museum, I was amazed by the elegance and architecture. Every room in the building thoughtfuly and impressively curated. You can feel the history of the objects and antiques. The historical subjects range from a British King’s collection of antique treasures to peaceful Japan in 19th century. These topics along with hundreds of other interesting subjects create a powerful atmosphere of the boundless world of History and Arts.

The MFA(Museum of Fine Arts) is composed of four floors with a range of subjects. My favorite level is the firstone, which focuses on collections of musical instruments, ancient jewelery, paper works and photography. The other floors delve deep into the worlds of the Art of Europe, Contemporary Art, Art of Asia, Oceania and Africa, Art of the Ancient World, and Art of the Americas.

The MFA overall encompasses more than 450,000 exhibits and works of Arts from the whole world! There are a lot of works of Arts from great artists, including Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Edward Morse, William Morris Hunt, John Singleton Copley, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Gilbert Stuart and others.

The MFA is an exceptionable and utterly extraordinary place, where you can spend a wonderful day, get a lot of incredible impressions and behold a cultural heritage of our ancerties. This is the place, where you always want to come back. Don’t believe me? Go and check it!

The MFA is located at Avenue of the Arts, 465 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02511.

Preparations for Halloween 2017

By: Nuray Salina

Halloween had always been my favorite holiday throughout my childhood. Staying in the United States gives all CATS students an opportunity to completely understand the holiday.

It appears as if most Americans start their preparations for the holiday 1 month in advance to Halloween. They make an effort to decorate their houses and plan their Halloween costumes.

CATS Academy Boston’s preparations for the Halloween are in full swing. The school, led by the Student Government and Professor Mike, is constructing a Haunted House. Other activities include arranging a Halloween Fashion competition, a movie night, and other sorts of entertainment for the students of our school. New ideas, personal creativity, and excitement amongst friends are the guarantee of a successful Halloween experience.

Here are some recommendations I have for you to get into the spirit this Halloween season:

Decorating your room as soon as it is possible. Buy, for example, several pumkin-lamps for your table, a skeleton in your closet, fake spiders and other frightenening items.
Invite your friends to watch scary movies in the There are a lot of very scary movies now. Most of them are definitely worth the watch.
Visit Boston after Halloween weekends. The city will be decorated in Halloween decor.

I hope that you will enjoy this celebration, especially if it is your first Halloween in the USA. Have fun and enjoy yourself!

Martha’s Vineyard Trip Recap

By: Nuray Salina

On September 16th, many CATS Academy students took advantage of an exciting opportunity to travel to Martha’s Vineyard island.

Martha’s Vineyard is an affluent island located south of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, which is known for being a prominent American summer vacation destination. The island includes the smaller Chappaquiddick Island, which is usually connected to the Vineyard, though storms and hurricanes have been known to separate the two. The last such separation of the island was in 2007 and the two islands are again connected as of April2, 2017.

Students had a 30-minute trip from the harbor to the island by boat. When students arrived, they gathered into groups to see the sights of the island. My group and I started our excursion by watching the seaside. We walked near the beach, and enjoyed the silence the mist over the water and of the quiet atmosphere of that place. After that we went to see the sights of this island-town. We saw a little lake in the center of the island, visited several festivals and bought souvenirs. We really liked the calm, but at the same time cheerful spirit of Martha’s Vineyard.

Dwellers of this place are mostly people who enjoy a quiet life in a small town. People there were really hospitable and friendly. The architecture of this city is very specific, houses look to me to be designed like Disney’s castles.

At the end of our adventure my group and I went to a park near the sea. There we played games, met our friends and simply had a good time.

Everybody seemed to find Martha’s Vineyard a very picturesque and peaceful place and returns to CATS with pleasant memories of our trip.

Student President Nina Sunago Message

By: Nina Sunago

The Student Government was founded last year with the main goal of representing the student body. What started off with only 20 participants has now grown into an enthusiastic and capable council of over 50 participants.

Since the election, I have been asked by many CATS students about how I am going to represent the CATS community to my utmost ability. My answer is simple: I will be the voice to the student body of CATS Boston.

So in particular, what am I doing? My trusted vice president Veronika Mikhaylyo, Professor Mike, members of Student Government, and I are focusing on building a better community which will be shaped to the students’ real needs. This means that we are working towards enhancing sporting events, parties, community service trips, fundraising for charity, and much more. We are setting our goals for the year with all student government members.

But we cannot do this alone. We need the students of CATS, our friends and associates, to be a part of this wonderful experience together. I want every individual to know that they are represented in our school, and that was why I ran for Class President. I cannot guarantee you the future of all my proposals, yet I can promise one thing for sure: we will do whatever it takes for students to be heard. My hope is we all leave this campus saying: “I am proud of studying in CATS Academy”, and we’re half way there just by dreaming of it.
