Family-Friendly Happy Hour March 6 to Support Polish Cultural Exchange

2/6/2026

 
Last October, 16 students and 3 chaperones spent 12 days in Torun, Poland, as participants in a student exchange program. While there, they lived with student host families, attended high school classes, enjoyed fun educational and social activities, and explored the culture and history of the area.  

Now it is Masterman's turn to show our hospitality, and we need assistance to ensure that the visiting Polish students have the same rich experience they provided for us. 

Help raise funds by attending this special event:​

March 6 from 5:00-7:00 PM
Craft Hall- A Family Friendly Sports Bar- 901 North Delaware Avenue


Come one, come all!! Please plan to attend our Masterman Family Friendly Happy Hour with GUEST BARTENDERS Principal Laurie, Assistant Principal Michelle Harrison, Ms. LeeAnne Fox Jones, and Ms. Elana Solomon serving drinks, mocktails, and appetizers. Mr. Zimny will be helping with food orders and promoting our 50/50. There may even be other teachers popping in. You never know! 

You can also support the program directly by donating here.

Any questions? Please email [email protected]
