OUR SCHOOL IN KROSINKO
HISTORY:• The older building was built in 1909.• At the beginning there were only a few
subjects: reading, writing, counting and geography of Wielkopolska (one of the Polish region).
• Education lasted four years, with classes taking place only three times a week.
• After the World War I, the school became a place controlled by German soldiers.
• In year 1922, our school became a place, where students could learn again.
Now in our school learn about 250 students. Since January, we can learn also in a new building.
