Not so long ago… our school changed its name.
The Lycée français de Düsseldorf (LfdD) took the name of a well-known personality and became the Lycée français international Simone Veil (LfiSV).
We celebrated this name change at the same time as the school’s 60th anniversary.
A very intense moment that will remain forever in the minds of children, parents, teachers and management.
A lot of hard work went into preparing this big event.
The teachers worked with the children in different areas, the parents did their best to organize every little thing, and the first and last year students responded immediately to the call and made their contribution.
Thanks to this wonderful teamwork, everyone was able to enjoy the festivities.
But there’s one thing few parents know, even if they’ve seen the change.
The school now has a new plaque with the new name and… a portrait of Simone Veil.
I’d like to introduce you to the work of three budding artists: Alissa Chaouch (Seconde), Lisa Wesner (5eme) and Alicia Hars (CM1).
All 3 love to paint and were happy to contribute, in their own way, to the big change at our school.
Chosen and guided by Mr. Jocelyn Ganneron, they all arrived at the school on a beautiful Saturday and worked for 6 hours to create the portrait that now represents the school.
We’d like to thank each and every one of them, we’re proud to have them as pupils, we’d also like to thank Mr. Ganneron, and we’d like to tell them that from now on, whenever parents look at the school plaque, they’ll have their names in mind.
