Слайд 3: We would like to tell you about our school historical museum. We are proud of our school because it was one of the winners in 2006. Our school is famous for the museum. There are many interesting things to see and to learn. The museum was organized by the teacher of History-G.G. Turkina and our historical society "the Sparks of Memory" in 2009.

Around the settlement there were many small villages, some of them were disappeared.

Слайд 5: During the great soviet reconstructions on the river Volga the whole village of Zyablovo (1903) was drown in 1950s. Twenty houses were underwatered so people had to move in Zarechny. They could remove some houses and built the new street named Shirockaya which made our village bigger. We were at the place of Zyablovo and made some photos how it looks like now. There are students' works, documents and photos in the album.
