What a special moment we are living in with the appearance of this virus!

Suddenly, while we had many projects in progress, including a meeting with our alumni on Saturday May 16th, Covid 19 appeared and "confined" us to our houses and apartments! We had to reinvent our way of teaching by doing it at a distance, which was not easy for our young students, their parents and teachers. All of them contributed and we were able to "keep the connection", which was the most important thing for us.

School resumed on April 27th for the PS and on May 11th in ½ group for the other children. What a joy to see almost everyone again! The smiles (not always apparent under the masks but visible in the eyes) warmed our hearts and gave back an atmosphere of work and animation in the school.

We are looking forward to being able to return to a more or less "normal" life from May 25th and to start some projects again! For example, taking care, with the students, of the vegetable garden so that we can enjoy delicious vegetables from the garden at the end of spring and in autumn. Or discover how the little chicks are born thanks to the two egg incubators we currently have at school.  And end the year in style all the same!
