JESSIE ADELE DE GARIS – BLUE PLAQUE UNVEILING

Open invitation to parishioners who may have known Jessie or are interested in attending the unveiling of the plaque on Tuesday 11th February at 10:30am outside Floraville, which is next door to Vauvert School. Jessie was a devout Catholic who regularly attended Mass and was known to many parishioners. She is being honoured for her life and outstanding legacy to Guernsey particularly in the field of special educational needs. She was the headteacher of Valnord School for children with moderate learning difficulties, and was instrumental in the development of the subsequent special needs schools in the Island.
