Wanted, organized and hosted by the 3rd graders from Saint-Viateur-Canaguet college, the “talent day” was a very strong moment for everyone.
This day is a unique opportunity for young people to show off the talents (and there are many) that they do not have the opportunity to show throughout the school year. A beautiful celebration, encouraged by the educational team around the director Ms. Pradalier, which is intended to be a message of their everyday commitment, a civic and responsible commitment, with an “obligation” of transmission towards the youngest, for the motivate in this same way.
The day was timed and masterfully orchestrated by Paul-Emilien who, with all his friends, knew how to alternate friendly and festive moments (music, choreography, sketches, blind tests, games with the teachers, games of tug of war or musical chairs, etc.) with much more serious moments, such as graduations, commemoration of events and civic commitments, like the high point of the morning, with the arrival of the firefighters who were entitled to a magnificent OLA and presented, amidst applause, the first aid diplomas to the middle school students.
“This diploma is a prerequisite in certain professions or to become a firefighter and you can save lives” Captain Dieudonné will say in substance at the end of the ceremony.
Young people also emphasized their involvement in all commemoration ceremonies “to remember what happened and avoid falling into the same traps”on the national competition for Resistance and Deportation (CNRD) for which all the 3rd graders were registered and where Paul Émilien shone by being 2nd at the departmental level, in individual college and finally on their participation in the citizens’ rally.
“We must trust our young people, they are full of resources” said Ms. Pradalier, continuing “Education and college are places where we learn to become citizens and responsible, where we can take part in the life of the city, but also take care of others and in this way this beautiful day is edifying of all possibilities and of everything that young people can do if we support them and they are models for their friends, who will undoubtedly take up the torch…”.
