Eurêka: New Year, No Losses ? 👀

As most of you know, “Eurêka” is the lost and found service for EEB2 pupils, run by a few parents who devote part of their time to sort the items and, as far as possible, track down the owner. Which is why it is of the utmost importance that your child's belonging bears their name (full name).

• Primary pupils can visit Eurêka every Thursday from 10h to 12h50. In the room, each class has a dedicated box where the volunteers collect items lost by pupils belonging to that class – provided they are marked with the family name! 
• Secondary pupils can visit Eurêka every Friday from 11h45 to 13h45. It is also important to make sure that – once a mail from Eureka Secondary is received – found items are collected as soon as possible.

Eurêka is located in the Primary Building (floor 0 - next to the library). 

To help parents find their children’s lost belongings, the Eurêka Primary team regularly publishes a photo gallery, which is accessible via this link – please save it for future checks !

Our warmest thanks to the Eurêka volunteers who dedicate their time to collecting, inventoring, sorting, reaching out to owners (when possible) and who are present all year round to help out the children in recovering lost belongings😊
