At the end of the school term, students work with their teachers to prepare and present a final program to the local community.

Parades and PromotionsThe goal of the parades and promotions committee is to present an image of Czech identity within the Cedar Rapids community and surrounding area.

The committee hopes to extend the public image of the Czech Heritage Foundation further within the local, state, and international communities. |
