For Teacher Appreciation Week, we would like to honour Mr. I and Stan Hunc as they transition to the next chapters of their lives!
🎵"Mr. I", also known as Yurgen Ilaender, has been a source of inspiration at Place des Arts since 1981. His renowned Musical Rainbow programs introduced generations of children to a love of music.
👨🎨Stan Hunc has taught various visual arts classes to students of all ages for over 20 years. Throughout his time at Place des Arts, he's inspired numerous students to pursue their creativity and self-expression.
Thank you both for your countless hours of inspiring creativity and passion in our community. 🎊
