We are holding the fifth annual SUOMI SCHOOL once again! Yay! Thanks to a very generous donation, we won't have to charge fees this year. WOW!

The school will take place from August 3rd to the 7th at Suomi Hall in Astoria. The school day runs from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon and is open to children aged 6 to 12. Finnish heritage is not required, just an interest in Finnish culture, music, traditions, food and crafts. There is no cost for this week-long summer school, but spaces are limited.

We will start promptly at 9:00 am. Family members are welcome to stay for a morning welcome and short program. This is Regatta week, so we have plans to participate in the Kiddy Parade on Thursday the 6th as a group. They would also participate in Regatta’s Grand Land Parade on Saturday, August 8th. Parents would be responsible for transporting their child(ren) to and from the parades. Sunday, August 9th is the Friends of Suomi Hall’s annual picnic at Cullaby Lake. We hope to present some entertainment for picnic attendees. The picnic starts at noon. Chicken is provided with members and guests bringing side dishes and desserts.

We have an online form you can fill out.
