Two weeks ago we had such a blast celebrating vappu! It is hard to believe that today is the last “school day”. Luckily we have the annual summer picnic still😍

Last Saturday we had another fun day in all groups. 🤩 Our bigger kids joined the forces again to finish their alternative Kalevala animations. Weather was great for outdoor fun in between. Kiitos to all, who made the day filled with fun. 💙🇫🇮

Last Saturday we got to enjoy the amazing Finnish sauna family hang out Koti Sauna and after sauna we got to enjoy Casey Schissler performing musical story of sauna tonttu (sauna elf). We all were left with a big smile on our faces and hearts. This sauna focused community event (thanks to Suomi-Seura) melted our Suomi-koulu community even tighter together. ISO Kiitos to all, who helped to make this happen and to all families, who were actively part of making it so much fun! 💙🇫🇮 Casey Schissler

Last week on 6th December we celebrated Finnish Independence Day & Joulu (Christmas/ holidays) together. We had our own Me and Mrs Stubb welcoming all to the celebrations. 💙 The honorary consul visited us and talked little bit about why and how we celebrate Finnish Independence Day. Biggest surprise was the visit of joulupukki (the Finnish Santa). ❤️ Our joulu potluck had all the tastes and flavors of the season made with ❤️. Now the holidays can come and part of that is ScanFair. 😍
