First County Bank was thrilled to sponsor the end of school year celebration for the Polish Saturday School Stamford. With around 200 people in attendance, it was an afternoon filled with celebrating education, culture, and community.

First County Bank employees: Andrea Kusnierikova, Justyna Nurczyk, and Anna Chmarzynska (all fluent in Polish), had a wonderful time engaging with families that packed the school’s gymnasium.

“Your contribution helped make the event a memorable and enjoyable celebration for our students, families, and staff. First County Bank has been supporting the Polish Day School for many years. We are truly grateful for this long-lasting partnership, generosity, and continued support of our community,” said Monika Liszka, Principal, Polish Saturday School.
