APE

Caroline is a member of the APE, parent and teachers association for the local school. They help to raise funds for additional school activites not paid for by the state. She went to a meeting of the APE last night and one of the items on the agenda was to elect a new President. Most of the comittee members had already been President at some time and so tried to get Caroline to stand for the job. Eventually she accepted Vice President if the new President would show her the ropes ready for next year. I think this is amazing considering we have only lived in France for two years and neither of us spoke French before arriving. Our integration is progressing at pace with the Jersey trip, newspaper article, competition win and now this.
