The  Altogether Polish School in conjunction with Scoil Mhuire Junior, Ballymany is delighted to host a special event on March 28th from 10am-1pm which celebrates many of the Polish customs and traditions associated with Easter. The Easter fair will take place in the wooden hall in Scoil Mhuire Junior and includes Easter egg painting, Easter crafts and baking, puppet show and much more. The Altogether Polish school is a supplementary school for Polish children which runs every Saturday in  Scoil Mhuire. According to principal Jolanta Oliwiak, ” the school aims to enpower communication skills, build skills to overcome inhibition and create an environment which facilitates active learning. We are very excited to be hosting this event in association with  Scoil Mhuire in Newbridge, a town that has been home to many Polish people over the  years, during which they have become active members of the school and local community” It is hoped that  the upcoming Polska Eire 2015 will not only celebrate aspects of Polands rich culture and traditions but also provide a focal point for the further integration of the local, vibrant Polish community into  the town.Any event which increases social and cultural activities and promotes integration between all sectors of the community is to be celebrated. A fun day for all the family is promised with a line-up of free events, and families from every nationality in the school and beyond are welcome.
