Heritage School History

Within a year after the founding of the parish, several mothers met to establish a "Sadochok" nursery school for the children of our parish.
Soon after this expanded into a Heritage School, where our children were offered instruction in Ukrainian Language, Fold Songs, and Religion.

Later, Ukrainian Dancing was added to the programme.

In 1990 the Dance Troupe even toured France!

Over the years, hundreds of our children have benefited from a gentle and loving presentation of the spiritual and cultural heritage of our community.

Highlights from our history include participation of our Vatra Dance Ensemble in:

- the Dauphin Ukrainian Heritage Festival,

- the 1988 Millennium Concert at Brampton's Heritage Theatre (over 70 students participated)

- Vatra's Dance Troupe's Tour de France (1990)

We look forward to creating many more memories in the years to come.
