Les enfants, fiers d’avoir un diplôme et une médaille. Midi Libre – Lucas Manouvrier

Students from CE1 to CM2 received a diploma and a medal awarded by the association of members of the Order of Merit, this Saturday, June 29, 2024.

The fishing meeting at the Barrandon pond, this Saturday June 29, 2024, was an opportunity for the national association of members of the Order of Merit to present a medal and a diploma for CE1 to CM2 students at the Villefort school. These children indeed received the youth citizenship prize. A distinction which rewards them for their civic actions such as cleaning and collecting waste around Lake Villefort, planting trees in front of the harkis stele and many others.

Preserve the environment

"However modest it may be, an action like yours can only be cited as an example in a world where awareness of the fragility of the environment and nature seems a long way from administrative or political allegations, expressed Alain Teissier, departmental president of the association, in front of the students. Your action could only have had a beneficial effect for the aquatic environment and its populations."

Alain Teissier and Philippe Castanet, prefect of Lozère, did not fail to remind schoolchildren of the importance of keeping this diploma which could benefit them later. And to encourage them to continue to participate in this type of action which contributes to the preservation of the environment.
