Polish Saturday School – the only Polish school in Wisconsin.

We began cooperating with the Polish Saturday School by requesting support from the Polish Government and we received a very positive response. By the end of this year, the school will receive some small funds. We are seeking additional support from the Polish Senate and “Wspólnota Polska.” We are also letting our local authorities know about the only Polish School in Wisconsin. Maybe you can help?
