 First Graders’ Ceremony

In January, our first graders had a memorable experience! On Friday and Saturday, our first-grade students officially joined the ranks of our student community during their special ceremony. It started with a beautiful artistic program, where the children presented poems and songs. The highlight of the event was the symbolic “admission” with a giant pencil, followed by the presentation of diplomas, gifts, and refreshments. Click on pictures to see the gallery from the event.

Studniówka in Chicagoland – Magic Night!

Studniówka 2025

In January, our 11th graders celebrated the Studniówka – a magical night for Polish schools in the Chicago area! This event is a true celebration, where all Polish schools come together to honor the special time of being 100 days away from the high school graduation exams.

We wish them success in their preparations for the matura exam!
