Polish-American Heritage Month

We celebrate Polish American Heritage Month in October, but it wasn’t always that way. Congress first deemed August as Polish American Heritage Month in 1981. Later, it moved to October to commemorate the first Polish settlers — as well as the deaths of General Kazimierz Pułaski and Tadeusz Kościuszko (military leaders who fought in the American Revolution). In honor of Polish Heritage Month, SPS will have an Out-of-Uniform Day on Wednesday, October 13th! Wear Red & White or traditional clothing to show your Polish Pride!
