On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, the mayor and deputies of Avensan stepped in to provide minimum reception services in the town's schools following a strike. They cared for 27 children throughout the day.
This hands-on experience allowed the elected officials to concretely appreciate the demands and value of the daily work performed by education professionals. They emphasized the importance of safety, well-being, supporting the youngest, and creating a nurturing environment that requires availability and expertise.
The municipality extended its sincere thanks to the non-striking ATSEM (early childhood education assistants), as well as canteen, maintenance, and after-school staff, for their commitment and public service spirit. The day was described as intense, insightful, and deeply inspiring.
