after the fire of their school the parents of students launch a solidarity kitty

The association of parents of students “APEL” of the Jeanne d’Arc school in Arnay-le-Duc is launching a call for donations relayed on its Facebook page. For its president Angélique Doublot, it is a question of buying back the equipment which burned in the violent fire of their establishment this Monday morning. “While waiting for the insurance to reimburse the damage, the children will find themselves without tables, chairs, textbooks. In an emergency, it is a question of buying equipment so that the children can resume their education as quickly as possible” pleads the young woman.

Benjamin Leroux mayor of Arnay-le-Duc immediately asked the public schools of his town to find space. It proposes to accommodate the children of the Jeanne d’Arc school in two establishments. “We have a class available in the Jean de la Fontaine nursery school and we would have three classes available at the Pierre-Meunier elementary school. This would allow everyone to be received and to pass this difficult test”.

“We can rent Algeccos perhaps for the next school year in order to recreate a temporary school elsewhere. On site, it’s time for mutual aid and Marie-Stella Bernard, director of the Jeanne d’Arc school, hopes that the situation will settle quickly for the children. In front of the stricken school while the firefighters are still in action, sobs muffled in her voice, she explains: “We are trying to find a solution by Thursday to welcome them because we need them, we need to see them with their smiles and that they return to work. I’m sure we will have a solution for Thursday, then we will see for the rest”.

While waiting for this Tuesday, for parents who cannot keep their children at home, a temporary daycare center was to be set up at the cure. A place they know well because that’s where they usually have their meals.
