- Logo contest :
In September, we ask volonteers among our pupils. We ask them to do a
handmade logo (without using the computer). Then we scan and upload
their works on the twinspace. Pupils will have to vote their favourite
one (Polish pupils vote a French logo, and French pupils vote a Polish logo). We publish both winners on the twinspace, inside the
gallery (with a little gift for both students).
