Рідна Школа Колядує
Merry Christmas! Христос Ся Рождає! Славімо Його!
This year Ridna Shkola students are not able to go carolling and spread the joy of Christmas due to COVID… On top of those multigenerational traditions, carolling was always one of the most important fundraisers – so much needed to sustain our school.
We hope that this pre-recorded carol will bring some joy to your homes and will brighten the season!
For information on how to make a donation in support of Ridna Shkola, please see the posted text accompanying the video at https://www.facebook.com/UNFRegina/videos/485036606287243.
Ridna Shkola is a program of the Ukrainian National Federation – Regina Branch |
