Martyna received a commemorative diploma and a modest gift from the hands of the director Jolanta Górnicka. CONGRATULATIONS!
The school and Principal Jolanta organize wonderful activities that all ages enjoy weekly. Last week’s activity was the getting to know ‘Old Polish fortune, superstitions and spells.’ And Andrezk’s Treasure and fortune
