Don’t Miss Our Magical Harvest Festival!

This year, our Harvest Festival is going to be extra special, with a dreamlike Alice in Wonderland theme! Come on October 25th at 9:40 AM to the English Department, and get ready to celebrate the season in a way you’ve never experienced before.

Step through the looking glass and meet Alice, the White Rabbit, and the Mad Hatter as they bring their wonderland to life. We’ve got a magical program planned, and of course, our beloved bake sale is back, with all proceeds going towards supporting Srdíčkové dny.

Don’t miss out on this special event — and don’t forget to wear your best Wonderland-inspired costume!

Two weeks ago, we came together for Royal Ascot Day, featuring a charity bake sale to help those affected by the recent floods. Thanks to your enthusiasm and generosity, we raised  5,614 Kč! Every crown will go to Donio to support people in need.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and to all who supported this great cause by buying baked goods. Your kindness really makes a difference ❤️

Royal Ascot Day – This Friday!
Join us on Friday, 27th September at 9:40 AM in front of the English Department for our Royal Ascot Day celebration. Enjoy a dance performance, exciting horse races, and of course, a dazzling display of hats in all styles and sizes!
