Boston Latvian Sunday School

Brookline, Massachusetts

Cause Description:
Boston Latvian School is an independent organization that rents space within the Boston Latvian Trimdas Congregation’s building. Our talented and caring instructors teach grades pre-K through 8 (ages 3-14); four teachers have degrees in education. All of our classes are taught in Latvian: grammar, literature/reading, religion, geography, history, singing, folk dancing, folklore and handwork. In addition to our usual schedule, we incorporate our Latvian heritage into our school calendar: we bake traditional gingerbread cookies in winter and color Easter eggs with onion skins. BLS works hard to maintain a tight-knit community feeling by inviting our wonderful children and their families to many extracurricular events: sledding and ice-skating; trips to the ballet, circus, or baseball games; hiking in the Blue Hills. We also serve our Latvian community with a yearly workday in the garden at church.
