We extend our heartfelt thanks to Instytut Rozwoju Języka Polskiego for the holiday voucher program for Polish community teachers and to Fundacja Fundacja Wolność i Demokracja for facilitating the agreement and transferring the funds. The vouchers are intended exclusively for Teachers to support educational and professional development purposes, such as purchasing essential materials for teaching or enhancing their professional qualifications.

14 December 2024: A Magical Saturday at Our School!
December 14th began like any other Saturday, with classes starting at 9:00. But behind the scenes, the preparations were already in full swing. At 11:00, we gathered together to watch the enchanting performance “The First Great Montessori Lesson – The Creation of the Universe,” brought to life by Ms. Paula. This captivating story about the origins of the universe fascinated everyone — children and adults alike.
Following the performance, the Hula-Hop group delighted us with a cheerful recitation of the poem “Dziwna zwrotka” by L.K. Kern. Then, we moved to the hallway, where a gallery of student artwork awaited us. Parents had the opportunity to admire the children's creations and talents. The corridor was filled with the delicious aroma of snacks prepared by our dedicated staff and the Hula-Hop group—thank you for these tasty treats!
The highlight of the day was the collaborative workshop for parents and children, where we created cosmic galaxies sealed in bottles.
A huge thank you to all the parents for spending this special time with us and for your constant support—you are amazing! We also extend our gratitude to all our teachers and staff for their hard work in making this day extraordinary for our community. We can't wait for more moments like this in the future!
