Portland Finnish School

Finnish School year 2025-26 is a wrap! Kiitos to all, who were actively part of making it happen. Iloista kesää! Happy summer! We will kick off the new school year in September.

Friday evening was exciting! Partnering together with and to celebrate the Moomin exhibit and learn more about Tove Jansson (the creator of Moomin). We are so thankful for the community partners we have around us! Kiitos! Kiitos also to also, who joined us on the Friday night adventure to dip into the world of Tove Jansson. It was a fun evening together!

Two weeks ago we had such a blast celebrating vappu! It is hard to believe that today is the last “school day”. Luckily we have the annual summer picnic still😍

What a fun way to start the day with a bilingual Moomin story time! Yesterday was the first free story time and more will follow. 😉

Last Saturday we got to enjoy the amazing Finnish sauna family hang out Koti Sauna and after sauna we got to enjoy Casey Schissler performing musical story of sauna tonttu (sauna elf). We all were left with a big smile on our faces and hearts. This sauna focused community event (thanks to Suomi-Seura) melted our Suomi-koulu community even tighter together. ISO Kiitos to all, who helped to make this happen and to all families, who were actively part of making it so much fun! 💙🇫🇮 Casey Schissler

What a Saturday last week! Could not get much more Finnish than this. 💙🇫🇮
