The Széchenyi István Hungarian School and Kindergarten in New Brunswick (New Jersey) celebrated the 50th anniversary of its existence at the local Hungarian American Athletic Club (HAAC). The welcoming speeches were followed by an award ceremony, where former school principal Gyula Varga was awarded; a brunch; a storytelling musical performance by the local Fészer folk band and a theater performance by the Déryné Company from Hungary. The second part of the anniversary celebration will be held on 19 May, when the school’s students, teachers and parents will perform the musical adaptation of Zsigmond Móricz’s novel Be Faithful unto Death.
