A primary school in the northern town of Chelmy has been the first school in Poland to be named after president Lech Kaczynski who died in the Smolensk air disaster.
The school will be officially named Lech Kaczynski primary school on 19 October.
The school pupils chose the patron in a secret ballot. Other candidates were Tadeusz Kosciuszko, a Polish military leader who led the 1794 Kosciuszko Uprising against Imperial Russia and fought in the American Revolutionary War, as well as Janusz Korczak, a child pedagogue who ran an orphanage and died with children in the Treblinka death camp during the Holocaust.
Two weeks after the presidential plane crash, councilors from the central city of Sieradz also named a roundabout after the late president Lech Kaczynski. (mg/jb)
