CHANGE AT THE AFTER-SCHOOL CLUB
Since 3 March, our after-school club manager Patricia Gajowski has handed over to Olivia Lejeune so that she can fully enjoy her retirement.
Patricia was a kind and reassuring presence for the children; they learned and grew thanks to her, and her departure moved our pupils deeply. We are grateful for the love and care she gave the children, we wish her a happy and well-deserved retirement, and we welcome Olivia!
