Leerhuys (Learning House)
- Excerpt from Lavenloop -
'The Leer house enjoys the protection of the wise owl. He is therefore of course prominent above the entrance. Our school is an open house. You can see all the way to the other side while at the same time it isn’t easy to see things clearly. This has a symbolic meaning. It takes hard work to gain knowledge and curiosity is key. So press your nose against the window, don’t be shy. Don’t forget to give us a wave. While you are doing that, no doubt you have noticed how the bell is sounded rather often. Be sure I will be hearing it as well but I will be pretending as though I can’t. It’s one of my students who is ringing the bell in hopes of tricking me into an early recess. Children’s are such rascals no matter where you go. Regardless it is my responsibility to make sure that the studying will continue and duty takes precedence. As you can surely tell by my appearance I am not someone who tends to let people get away with things. But my beloved strength is supported by the spirit of Father Laaf and with his spirit I try to shape free and wise Laafs. After all a child’s education is a serious matter. '
