This event wouldn't be possible without school's director Ingrida Bridikyte Lomberg and her family who helped to put this beautiful event together.
For the fifth year in a row the Kazickas Family Foundation through Alexandra Kazickas Grant Program has been supporting Lithuanian Heritage Schools in the US, including "Sauletas Krantas". With the program KFF seeks to support and encourage teachers' productive work, participation at the continuous education conferences, sharing of knowledge and experiences. One of the goals is to have the Lithuanian language proficiency assessments conducted by globally accredited institutions in the Heritage language schools which would result in awarding of internationally recognized Lithuanian language proficiency certificates. Students spend numerous hours over the years learning Lithuanian language, culture and traditions, giving up investment in other activities. KFF seeks a stronger impact of the education at the Lithuanian schools on students future.
