Many members of Western have a strong Czech and/or Slovak background, and celebrate their heritage in a variety of ways today. In this blog, I discuss the origins of Czech-Slovak Christmas traditions.
Because of the Members in Action grant, two students with a passion for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) helped form a new group in our community for youth who love STEM as well. It is called the New Prague Newtonian Science Club, and it will be led by Anna and Brian Prchal, with guidance from their mom Jodi Prchal (a teacher in the district).
