Hello Families,

New deconfinement guidelines are finally to be implemented this week, starting with the Covid-19 vaccination open to teenagers on May 25 and the end of curfew on May 28. Gatherings of maximum 8 people (or occupants of 2 homes) will be allowed again on May 28 in private outdoor spaces as well as the reopening of restaurants terraces for 2 adults and their children (or occupants of the same home).

Families with school-aged kids will have their hands full this week, as another teacher’s strike is schedule for Wednesday and Thursday, after the regular Tuesday ped day. I hope you enjoy this extra-long week-end with your kiddos! Here are some activities to spend some time with them 🤪
