2. Quick story. Our school (as institution) is over 100 years old (113 now). It started in 1902 in small house, with only two classrooms and a room for teacher. A few years later, the „old school” was built (left one). The second building was opened In 1931, and year earlier we received our school flag. Now there is a school of leather manufacture, nicknamed ‘’skórzanka‘’ We know you may not be able to say that, so try saying skoo-jan-ka :D

3. New building was built in a project named: „1000 schools For The 1000 years of Poland” and is ‘’containing‘’ School Unit number 17, that are: our Gimnazjum number 81 and Elementary School number 56. School Patron is Tadeusz Rejtan. More here: http://zso17.pl/szkola-wczoraj-i-dzis/ (polish)http://zso17.pl/szkola-wczoraj-i-dzis/
