Our teachers, Kristýna Horáčková and Klára Moldová, represented our school at the 76th Czech Days Celebration in Tábor, South Dakota.
They kicked off the day at Muddy Mo’s Coffee House, where they were welcomed with a hearty breakfast and local wisdom from Bernie Hunhoff — whose family owns Muddy Mo’s and publishes South Dakota Magazine. Thank you for your hospitality, Bernie!
From there, they explored all that the celebration had to offer — from the open-air museum and Czech queen candidate presentations to the Czech Polka Mass at St. Wenceslaus Church, band concerts, and more. They ended the evening watching 240 Tabor Beseda dancers — and were even awarded a bag of koláče for traveling the farthest distance to attend!
Thank you for having us, Tabor Czech Days! We look forward to building more connections between Czech communities across the U.S.

13. konference českých škol v Severní Americe je za námi! Obrovské díky patří bostonským organizátorům – díky jejich mravenčí práci měli účastníci po celou dobu zázemí, výborné občerstvení, zajištěný volnočasový program a navíc možnost setkat se s Evou Paddock, přeživší druhé světové války, kterou jako dítě zachránil Nicholas Winton. Za každou konferencí stojí nespočet malých i velkých kroků, které začínají už rok dopředu. Estero, Petře, Kláro, Katko a Liano – spolupráce s vámi šla jako po másle a návštěvu Bostonu jsme si moc užili, včetně narozeninového dortu pro dvě z oslavenkyň.
Poděkování patří i organizátorkám z naší školy: Irena díky své roli porotkyně v Global Teacher’s Prize Czech Republic poznává a oslovuje inspirativní lektory. O administrativní stránku konference se stará Kristýna, která sestavuje program, podchycuje prezentace škol a sbírá zpětnou vazbu od účastníků. Klára zajišťuje vizuální stránku konference, správu webu a vyjednávání o místě konání následujícího ročníku. A právě to už známe – 14. výroční konference českých škol v Severní Americe proběhne 29.–31. května 2026 v Houstonu! Hostitelskou štafetu převzalo Czech Center Museum Houston. Už teď se těšíme na shledanou a přejeme odpočinkové léto všem kolegům i kolegyním!

Poslední den naší konference jsme zakončili tvořivě – korálkovou dílnou s krásnými jabloneckými korálky od Crystals and Beads for Friends. Po sérii přednášek a pedagogických workshopů to bylo přesně to, co jsme potřebovali – vypnout hlavu, zapojit ruce a nechat se unést barvami a tvary. Děkujeme za inspiraci a těšíme se na pokračování spolupráce – korálková dílna by zajisté potěšila i naše děti! 💫🧵📿

Last trips, last meals, and last goodbyes before taking our visitors from Buštěhrad to the airport this afternoon.
Thank you for your visit—and have a smooth flight home! ✈️🇨🇿 Judging by the tears (and the jokes about staying here for good), we think it’s safe to say you had a great time.
Enormous gratitude to our amazing host families for their hospitality, time, and patience. Your generosity is felt not only by the Masaryk School, but also deeply appreciated by the Buštěhrad students and their parents. 💙
