Poetry Night at Místogalerie
Last Wednesday, our students gathered at Mistogalerie in Skleněná Louka for a wonderful Poetry Night. The evening was filled with poetry, songs, and amazing performances, making it an exceptional experience.

Thank you to all the students who participated and shared their talents. You made the event unforgettable, and we’re proud of everyone who took part.

We look forward to hosting this event again next year!

We're pleased to share that our Bake Sale at the Alice in Wonderland-themed Harvest Festival raised an impressive 5,453 Kč! The funds will be donated to DONIO to support people affected by recent floods.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported this special event by purchasing delicious treats, and to all those who made it possible by baking them. A special thank you goes to the organisers from KA JAZ1 for their incredible decorations that transformed our school into a real Wonderland. We also want to thank the girls from TB who helped with the decorations, SA JAZ1 also for decorations and TA JAZ1 for decorations and participating in Bake Sale. We're equally grateful to the students from SXB, QA, and KB for preparing the programme, including the fantastic dance and competitions.

Thank you all for making this event a memorable success and helping those in need!
